I decided to cut the pain short. On Tuesday I called Prometric to book the exam on Friday. 1Y0-309, AGEE exam, not many resources around. The Citrix exam enablement guide does have 10 sample questions, which I was comfortable at 6 of them, gave me a lot of confidence.

I passed the exam at 81%, pass rate 62%. It was not hard, half of the questions were very basic operations, and then some simple scenarios. These were enough for me to pass. I was so confident on the Presentation Server integration part, but only got 61% in this area, very strange.

Anyway, another step in my technical life. The CCEA seems very close to me, I only need to do the Password Manager, which is not a big deal. I have installed on my test server, will need to have a look again.

Description

When Citrix released the new version Web Interface 4.x for Metaframe, they included a new security feature to stop “session fixation attacks”, each time a user hits a WI, it copies a cookie to the local PC, locking the user to that particular session ID. (cookie=”WIauthID). If for any reason the user starts sharing a session with another WI in the cluster the WI will terminate that session.

Resolution

Inform the user to not click the login button twice or press enter twice. This error can be replicated by clicking the login button multiple times on a WI in a clustered environment.
