[THIN] Re: Citrix Local Account Passwords

You can set the passwords to whatever you want and you can even use Domain Accounts provided you make the appropriate provisions to the local security policy (which can be pushed via GPOs) and other local resources (ICA Channel for example).  It’s probably not what you want to hear, but it’ll make your security folks happy.

Ctx_ConfigMgr
Ctx_SmaUser
ctx_cpsvcuser
ctx_cpuuser

All have system controlled passwords.  Does anyone know definitively the password strength used and whether the system changes the password on its own periodically?

I'm trying this question again since I put it out late Friday afternoon.  I hope there's an answer available.

Thanks !

My security team is throwing a fit over an exception I filed for Citrix local accounts to never have their password changed.  I'm hoping the list can give me some additional ammunition.
