1Y0-204 Exam - Question 58


Which account is used by FlexCast Management Architecture (FMA) services to access the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops SQL databases?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: A

The FlexCast Management Architecture (FMA) services in Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops use the Delivery Controller's machine account to access the SQL databases. This is because the services running on each controller authenticate themselves using their Active Directory machine accounts. This method allows the necessary rights and permissions to be assigned to the machine accounts, ensuring seamless access to the database for day-to-day operations.

In a Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops environment, the FlexCast Management Architecture (FMA) services use the local computer account of the Delivery Controller for database authentication purposes. Specifically, these services run under the NT AUTHORITY\Network Service account, which uses the Delivery Controller's machine account for accessing the SQL databases. This setup ensures that the passwords are automatically changed every 30 days, enhancing security​ https://www.basvankaam.com/inside-citrix-chapter-eighteen-the-one-with-all-the-fma-core-services/#:~:text=,accounts%20are%20usually%20very%20dangerous
