If the PVS Server in Citrix XenDesktop environment is not in same domain as Delivery Controller, you can
add a new field manually in broker agent configuration file: <pvs_server_credentials>
</pvs_server_credentials>
Broker Agent configuration file can be found at following location: C:\ProgramData\VMware\vRealize
Operations for Published Apps\Broker Agent\conf\v4pa-brokeragent.config.
Install the vRealize Operations for Published Applications Broker Agent
You install the vRealize Operations for Published Applications broker agent on an Active XenDesktop
Delivery Controller.
You only install one broker agent for each XenDesktop Site.
A check box in the Broker Agent Setup wizard controls whether the Broker Agent Configuration wizard
opens immediately after you install the broker agent. This check box is selected by default.
Prerequisites
n
Install the vRealize Operations for Published Applications solution, add your license key, and create an
instance of the vRealize Operations for Published Applications adapter.
n
Verify that you downloaded the broker agent installation file.
n
Verify that you configured the XenDesktop Controller, Store Front, and PVS server for remote WMI by
granting DCOM remote access/activation permissions to the servers. The user name must include the
user name that you indicated for the servers.
n
XenDesktop Delivery controller's SSL certificate should be added as a trusted certificate if HTTPS (SSL)
is enabled for OData (Monitoring Service).
n
If OData (Citrix Monitoring Service) is configured on listen on SSL, the Broker Agent will create
connections to XenDesktop Delivery Controller using HTTPS.
So a valid certificate should be installed on Delivery Controller and this certificate should be added as a
trusted certificate in Delivery Controller.
OR
If the certificate is issued by a Certificate Authority, this CA should be a trusted publisher in Delivery
Controller.
