When you install a citrix server, it automatically generates a STA (Secure Ticketing Authority ID). When you use citrix servers in combination with lets say a Citrix Access Gateway, you have to add the Citrix STA ID to the CAG. Everytime you reinstall a Citrix server you have to add this ID to the CAG or AAC (depending on what you’re using) Well there is a way around this…
Have a look at the CtxSta.config file in C:\Program Files\Citrix\System32. Open the file and it should look something like this:
[GlobalConfig]UID=STA3A920721B00E
TicketVersion=10
TicketTimeout=100000
MaxTickets=100000
LogLevel=0
MaxLogCount=10
MaxLogSize=20
LogDir=C:\Program Files\Citrix\system32\
Edit the UID Number to whatever you like (keep the same amount of characters). Put it away on a fileserver or whatever, once you re-install the server, just overwrite the CtxSta.config file with your saved one and you’re done!
If you don’t put add the correct STA ID you will get error when using this in combination with CAG or AAC.
