installing secure gateway on xenapp 5 server breaks session reliability

I normally never install a secure gateway on the XenApp box itself, so I don’t know if it’s the same case with other versions of Presentation server.

Anyway, after installing Citrix Secure Gateway on a Xenapp 5 fp2 box, the path to the XTE service was wrong in the registry and in the httpd.conf file.

see http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX118021

In my case I had to edit both registry & httpd.conf file.  Didn’t reboot, just started the XTE service.
