Configuring Load Evaluators

For SecureLogin to run effectively on a Citrix server, configure load evaluators for page faults and page swaps. Do this before installing SecureLogin.

If the server drops client connections when SecureLogin is running on the Citrix server, try increasing the number of page fault allowed on your load balancer template. The drops happen because SecureLogin tries to minimize memory usage.

The following instructions apply to Citrix Metaframe XP Feature Release (FR).

  1. Start Citrix Management Console.
