Horizon 7 & Access Gateways - Locked.Properties file

Hi Guys,

Just a quick question please.

Getting a intermittent weird Error 500 - Internal Server Error appear when Users connecting to Pool, and seems to be happening only when Users are connecting to dedicated Pools.

Horizon 7 CPA, active-active setup, Global Entitlements.  UAGs are load balanced for incoming external connections and each UAG configured to point to a southbound local VIP specific to their Site.  E.G. UAG1, UAG2 point to Site1VIP and UAG3 and UAG4 point to Site2VIP

****************************** LB External VIP *******************************

**** UAG 1 *** UAG 2 ************ | ************* UAG 3 *** UAG 4*******

**** CS1 ******* CS2  ************* | *************** CS3 ***** CS4 ********

*************************************  | ****************************************

On my backend :

  - Connection Servers(CS) in Site 1 I have the locked.properties file set to include UAG1 and UAG2 only,

- Connection Servers(CS) in Site 2 I have the  locked.properties file set to include UAG3 and UAG4 only.

My reckoning is that from time to time, Users coming in via UAG in Site 2 and being directed to their dedicated desktop in Site 1(as appropriate), and the issue is that the backend Connection Servers in Site 1 don't know about the UAGs in Site 2 from the locked.properties file not containing those entries.

So my question is that should I include all UAG entries in all of the Connection Server locked.properties file and any downside in doing so - know I will have to restart the Services afterwards but don't want to make the connectivity situation worse...

Cheers,

PB.

Yes, with CPA you need to include the UAG from all sites in the locked.properties file. From your example the UAG in site 2 will be tunneling the connections to the connection servers in site 1 and then to the horizon agent in site 1.
