Fix: XenApp 6 "Access is Denied" Error While Application Launch

XenApp 6 you may encounter error "Access is Denied" for few specific users while launching the application.
Symptoms:
  1. Error occurs for only few users for all published applications
  2. The same applications run for many other users without any issues
  3. There are no access differences for reported users w.r.t XenApp 6 or Windows rights and permissions
Cause:
Such an issue can happen for specific user accounts when they are part of large number (say 500+) of Active Directory groups. Due to which the Windows user rights enumeration fails since the default Kerboros MaxToken Size (12,000 bytes) can’t accommodate the details to huge group membership.

Workaround:
Increase the Kerboros MaxToken Size via registry as given below, on the XenApp 6 servers, from 12,000 bytes to 65535 bytes.

Below is the registry location for "MaxTokenSize"
  • System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\Kerberos\Parameters
  • If this key "MaxTokenSize" is not present, create the key
  • Right-click Parameters, point to New, and then click DWORD (32-bit) Value.
  • Name the registry entry "MaxTokenSize".
  • Right-click "MaxTokenSize", and then click Modify.
  • Under Base, click Decimal.
  • Type 65535, and then click OK

Recommended Fix:
Don’t configure large AD groups memberships for user accounts. This indeed keeps all user specific AD actions like logon, profile creation on new logons, logoff, etc., to run faster.
