XML Service Chokes on Request Larger Than 4KB

I have recently worked on an implementation for a customer and was concerned with a large number of group memberships. Although the solution for authenticating against the operating system are well documented by Microsoft (here, here and here), the XML service does not allow requests larger than 4KB. So if users have a large number of group memberships, authentication via the XML service can fail due to this limitation. But here's the solution.

What does XMLServiceTester.exe in HMR do?

You may well ask why I created a tool to send arbitrary requests to the XML service and parse the reply in scripts – which is, by the way, called XmlServiceReader. First of all, I did not like the tool included with the Health Monitoring and Recovery of Presentation Server and XenApp – called RequestTicket.exe – due to its limitation to being executed on the same host as the XML service is located. Furthermore, this tools has a hard-coded request and does not allow customization of the request sent to the XML service.

Suppressing Access Lists to be Exposed by the XML Service
Published by Nicholas Dille on 09/29/2008 | 2 Comments | 3,413 Views

In an earlier article about the XmlServiceExplorer, I explained how to obtain the access list of all published applications in a farm from the XML service.

As this information is offered without authentication, it can be considered a security issue. The XML service should rather offer the resulting list of published applications based on the access lists instead of the access list themselves.
