Got the following error when trying to use WI3 with XPe FR3 (+ hotfixes) and
Single Sign on turned on

"Error: The MetaFrame server farm cannot process your request at this time.
Error: Citrix XML Service request too large, more than 4096 bytes [413
request too large]."

Implementing the fix in point 2 from article

Fixes it.  
 
However we have to increase this from 4096 to approx 80,000 to get this to
work for a user who is a member of approx 500 groups.  Seem a bit excessive
to have to take this form 4 k to 80k to get it to work.  My understanding is
we need approx 32 bytes per group.  We have an average of 250 group
memberships per user with the max at 800. Any ideas if the XML service is
stable at say 100K or will not cause issues?  What is impact on servers
doing XML requests or network traffic.  Should we set on all servers or only
servers handling XML requests?
