Citrix DaaS Administration — Question 8

Scenario: A Citrix Engineer has migrated an application to NetScaler to secure it from application layer attacks. The engineer receives a complaint that the application is timing out while users are actively accessing the page. Those users are forced to reestablish the connection.
What can be the cause of this issue?

Answer options

• A. The maximum session lifetime is NOT configured.
• B. The session time out is configured to a low value.
• C. The application is configured with a low session timeout.
• D. The maximum session lifetime is less than the session timeout.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because if the session timeout is set to a low value, it will lead to users being disconnected prematurely. Option A is incorrect as a lack of configuration does not inherently cause timeouts. Option C is misleading as it is not directly related to session settings on the NetScaler. Option D is also incorrect since a shorter maximum session lifetime would not cause timeouts if the session timeout is longer.
