Question 4

A Citrix Architect needs to enable the security of the Virtual Delivery Agent (VDA) by evaluating the
‘Enable- VdaSSL.ps1 -Enable’ script.
Which supported SSL protocol version is least secure when using the default settings of the script?
A. TLS 1.0
B. SSL 3.0
C. TLS 1.2
D. TLS 1.1
E. SSL 1.0
F. SSL 2.0

Answer:

A
Defaults setting is TLS 1.0 (Script -> .PARAMETER SSLMinVersion Specifies the minimum SSL version
(allowed values are SSL_3.0, TLS_1.0, TLS_1.1 and TLS_1.2). Default is TLS_1.0. )

Question 5

Scenario: A large retail environment includes a StoreFront server group with 2 servers, each with 2
vCPUs and 4 GB of RAM. The server group handles about 25,000 user connections per hour, with the
majority of users accessing the environment using the Citrix Workspace app. Workspace Control has
been disabled for the environment.
A Citrix Architect learns that the company will soon merge with another retail chain. The Citrix
Virtual Apps and Desktops environment must double its capacity, and the StoreFront server group is
expected to handle about 40,000 user connections per hour.
What should the architect do to meet the expected load while maintaining high availability with
optimal resource allocation for the StoreFront component?

  • A. Allocate an additional 2 vCPUs to each existing StoreFront server.
  • B. Enable Workspace Control for all StoreFront stores.
  • C. Allocate an additional 2 GB of RAM to each existing StoreFront server.
  • D. Train users to begin accessing the environment using Citrix Workspace app for Web site.
  • E. Use the least connection method for load-balancing on Citrix ADC.
