Enable profile load timeout
The Enable profile load timeout policy lets you set the maximum number of seconds Citrix Profile Management waits for a user profile to load before switching to a temporary profile. By setting a specific timeout, you gain greater flexibility in profile loading and enhance session resiliency.
Typical use cases include:
-
Non-persistent multi-session VDAs running Citrix Apps. In such environments, loading user-specific data might not be necessary. You can set the timeout to 0 seconds to bypass profile loading and use a temporary profile.
-
Error handling. This policy mitigates network disruptions by automatically switching to a temporary profile if profile loading exceeds the timeout setting.
Note:
-
This policy applies to both file-based and container-based profile solutions.
-
This policy doesn't apply to the profile migration and profile reset processes.
To enable and configure this policy using a GPO, follow these steps:
-
Open the Group Policy Management Editor.
-
Access Policies > Administrative Templates: Policy Definitions (ADMX files) > Citrix Components > Profile Management > Advanced settings.
-
Double-click the Enable profile load timeout policy.
-
In the policy window that appears, select Enabled.
-
Enter a number ranging from 0 to 1800 (in seconds) for the Profile load timeout setting.Note:
-
We recommend setting the timeout to greater than 10 seconds unless there is a strong need. A short timeout might cause users to unexpectedly log on to a temporary profile, even in normal conditions.
-
If you enter 0, Profile Management uses the temporary profile immediately when processing user logons.
-
-
Click OK.
Configuration precedence is as follows:
-
If this policy isn't configured here, the value from the .ini file is used.
-
If this policy isn't configured either here or in the .ini file, the policy is disabled by default.
