Scenario: There are two domains in an organization: Domain A and Domain B. A Citrix Engineer
configured SAML authentication for Domain A, without implementing Citrix Federated
Authentication Service (FAS).
While launching the Citrix apps, the Single Sign-on will .
B
Explanation:
"With SAML, Citrix Gateway and StoreFront do not have access to the users password and thus
cannot perform single sign-on to the VDA. FAS works around this limitation by using issuing
certificates that can be used to logon to the VDA." - Reference:

Scenario: A Citrix Engineer is managing a large environment with multiple locations. The setup is as
follows:
- The setup has a single Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops site with multiple zones such as a Primary
zone and 3 Satellite zones.
-Virtual Delivery Agents (VDAs) are available for all applications in all 3 Satellite zones.
-An application 'app1' has its application database located in Satellite zone.
-As a sovereign mandate, it is desirable that this application database should NOT be accessible from
zones 2 and 3.
-The application does NOT create any database cache and cannot work if the database is NOT
reachable. - The outage is acceptable for complying with the sovereign mandate.
Which zone preference should the engineer configure to achieve this setup?
A

Scenario: A Citrix Engineer noticed that a Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops environment lost
connection to the SQL servers where the Citrix databases are running. Due to this, the Site has
become unmanaged and first- time users CANNOT connect to their Citrix Virtual Apps & Desktops
resources.
The setup was recently upgraded from Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7.11 to Citrix Virtual Apps
and Desktops 7.15 CU4.
What should the engineer do to minimize the impact of the SQL outage?

Scenario: A Citrix Engineer is managing a large Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops environment with
three sites. Users connecting to applications and VDI machines in these sites are using a common
Citrix ADC
Gateway. The engineer wants to configure peripheral federation and port redirection policies for
secure access to the site resources.
Which feature should the engineer use to configure policies centrally only once and avoid configuring
them on each site?
D

Scenario: An existing setup of session recording has stopped working. After investigating, a Citrix
Engineer finds that the Session Recording Agent cannot connect to the Session Recording Server. The
following error is displayed:
"The underlying connection was closed. Could not establish a trust relationship for the SSL/TLS
secure channel. "
Which two issues could cause this error? (Choose two.)
CD
Explanation:
"The underlying connection was closed. Could not establish a trust relationship for the SSL/TLS
secure channel. This exception means that the Session Recording Server is using a certificate that is
signed by a CA that the server on which the Session Recording Agent resides does not trust, or have a
CA certificate for. Alternatively, the certificate might have expired or been revoked."

Scenario: A Citrix Engineer is maintaining a Citrix Virtual Apps environment. The engineer has
recently noticed two single-threaded applications consistently consuming 25% of the CPU resources,
causing substantial performance issues for users of these servers. The engineer has deployed
Workspace Environment Management (WEM) within the infrastructure and enabled CPU Spikes
Protection.
What else can the engineer enable within WEM to address this issue?
C
Scenario: A Citrix Engineer created four application layers with different applications at different time
stamps as shown below:
App Layer A Microsoft Office Professional 15/08/2019, 14:28
App Layer B Adobe Acrobat Reader and Cisco Webex 14/07/2019, 11:45
App Layer C Active Directory Users & Computers, Citrix Studio 20/08/2019, 16:10 App Layer D
Google Chrome and GoToMeeting 27/07/2019, 10:35
Which layer would hold the highest priority in this scenario?
