Scope

This plugin communicates with an on-premises Citrix App Layering (ELM) appliance over HTTPS (port 443) and with CE VMs over WinRM (port 5985). Relevant security considerations include:

  • Credentials: ELM credentials and CE VM credentials are passed via HCL variables. Always use sensitive = true on password variables and supply values through environment variables (PKR_VAR_*) or a secrets manager — never hardcode credentials in template files.
  • TLS verification: insecure_connection = true disables TLS certificate verification. Use this only in lab environments with self-signed certificates, never in production.
