Enable NetScaler Web App Firewall

Before you can create a security configuration, you must enable the NetScaler Web App Firewall feature on the appliance.

Points to remember

  • If you are configuring a dedicated NetScaler Web App Firewall appliance or upgrading an existing appliance, the feature is already enabled. You do not have to perform either of the procedures described here.
  • If you have a new NetScaler or VPX, you must enable the NetScaler Web App Firewall feature before you configure it.
  • If you are upgrading a NetScaler or VPX from a previous version, you must first enable the NetScaler Web App Firewall feature before you configure it.

Note:

If you are upgrading a NetScaler or VPX from a previous version, you might need to update the licenses on your appliance before you enable NetScaler Web App Firewall. Check with your NetScaler representative or reseller to obtain the correct license.
