Bot Management
-
Bot management using ADM StyleBooks
You can now configure bot management settings on your ADC instances, using ADM StyleBooks. The ADM provides you a default StyleBook ("bot-management") to create bot policies configuration. It contains many criteria that describes the features of bad bots. The ADC instances use this configuration to identify and block such bot threats and malicious traffic.
[ NSBOT-84 ]
-
Bot Log Expression
Citrix机器人管理配置文件现在可以to capture additional data as log messages if the incoming traffic is identified as a bot. The data can be the name of the user who requested the URL, the source IP address, and the source port from which the user sent the request.
For more information, seehttps://docs.citrix.com/en-us/citrix-adc/current-release/bot-management/bot-detection.html
[ NSBOT-49 ]
-
Client IP Address Extraction for Bot Detection
现在,您可以配置一个先进的策略表达式n in a bot profile for extracting client IP address from an HTTP request header, HTTP request body, or HTTP request URL. The extracted value can be used by a bot detection mechanism (such as transaction per second (TPS), bot trap, or rate limit) to detect if an incoming request is a bot.
By adding this configuration, the Citrix ADC appliance can leverage the bot detection mechanism to provide enhanced security to software clients and servers.

Custom response error code and message for error object configuration
If Citrix Web App Firewall (WAF) uses an error object for handling error scenarios, the WAF profile now allows you to configure a custom response status code and message. You can customize the response status code and message for an HTML, XML, or JSON error object in a WAF profile. Previously, the error object response was sent with the response status code and message set to 200" and "OK. There was no way for the user to customize the error object's response status. To maintain backward compatibility, if the custom error object response status code and the message are not set, the default values are 200" and "OK, respectively.

Load Balancing
-
Reduction in the time taken to synchronize GSLB configuration among the GSLB sites
The time taken to synchronize the GSLB configuration among the GSLB sites is now significantly reduced because of compression of files that are being synchronized with remote sites.
[ NSLB-7399 ]
-
Moving GSLB services to a learning phase to avoid flaps on GSLB services
The parameter, SvcStateLearningTime, can now be used to move the local and child GSLB services to learning phase to avoid unnecessary flaps on remote GSLB sites. When a service is in a learning phase, the remote GSLB sites do not honor the primary site state and statistics received through MEP for that service. However, the state of the sites can be learnt from the health monitor, if bound explicitly.
You can set SvcStateLearningTime in seconds. Default value is 0 and maximum value is 3600.
GSLB services enter the learning phase in any the following scenarios.- Citrix ADC appliance is rebooted
- High availability failover has occurred
- Owner node in a cluster GSLB setup is changed
- MEP is enabled on a local node
- GSLB site comes out of island scenario. A GSLB Site becomes island when it is not connected to any other site.
在亲子部署中,备份的父母(我f configured) selectively moves the adopted child sites GSLB services to learning phase when the primary parent goes DOWN.

Networking
-
High Availability Version Control for Account Structure Changes
In a high availability setup, the ISSU process uses the node-to-node TCP communication framework to sync or honor the existing connections.
The appliances might crash during the ISSU process if there is a mismatch of the framework structure size in the two nodes.
With the fix, the Citrix ADC appliance runs the ISSU migration only if the framework structure size is the same on both nodes.
If there is a mismatch of the structure size, the Citrix ADC appliance does not run the ISSU migration operation and it displays an error message.
[ NSNET-15370 ]
Platform
-
Support for Citrix ADC VPX configurations at the first boot of the Citrix ADC appliance on Azure, GCP, and AWS clouds
You can now apply the Citrix ADC VPX configurations during the first boot of the Citrix ADC appliance in a cloud environment. In certain cases like Citrix ADC pooled licensing, this feature brings up the VPX instance in much lesser time. You can use this feature by providing a script, metadata, or user data to the cloud instance in XML format. This feature is available in Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud platform, and AWS clouds.

Support for Azure accelerated networking on Citrix ADC VPX instance
Citrix ADCVPX instance now supports Azure accelerated networking. Accelerated networking enables single root I/O virtualization (SR-IOV) virtual function (VF) NIC to a virtual machine, which improves the networking performance. You can use this feature with heavy workloads that need to send or receive data at higher throughput with reliable streaming and lower CPU utilization.
When a NIC is enabled with accelerated networking, Azure bundles the NICs existing para virtualized (PV) interface with an SR-IOV VF interface. The support of SR-IOV VF interface enables and enhances the throughput of the Citrix ADC VPX instance.

Parsing Proxy Protocol after TLS handshake for SSL and SSL-TCP traffic
根据RFC,代理协议解析船尾er the final ACK during a TCP handshake. However, the functionality is now enhanced to parse the proxy protocol after TLS handshake for SSL and SSL-TCP traffic. By parsing after the TLS handshake, the proxy protocol data is TLS encrypted and more secure. To perform this parsing you must enable the "proxyProtocolAfterTLSHandshake" parameter in the net profile. When you enable the parameter, the appliance parses the proxy protocol after the TLS handshake and not after the FINAL ACK of the TCP handshake
Configure proxy protocol after TLS handshake by using the command interface:
At the command prompt, type:
"add netprofile-proxyProtocolAfterTLSHandshake ENABLED"
Where proxyProtocol and proxyProtocolAfterTLSHandshake parameters are mutually exclusive.[ NSBASE-12491 ]
-
QUIC bridge deployment for HTTP3/QUIC traffic
Citrix ADC一个ppliance now supports QUIC bridge configuration for HTTP3 QUIC traffic. The deployment enables you to have persistent QUIC connections between client and server in the case of a NAT rebinding or a connection migration.
Advantages of QUIC bridge configuration:
- No expensive crypto operations.
- Stateless routing possible (no 4-tuple based load balancing).
For more information, seehttps://docs.citrix.com/en-us/citrix-adc/current-release/system/quic.html
[ NSBASE-10636 ]
-
Support for additional address advertisement (ADD_ADDR)
In an MPTCP deployment, if you have a virtual server bound with an IP set that has additional virtual server IP addresses, then the additional address advertisement (ADD_ADDR) functionality advertises the IP address of the virtual servers bound to the IP set. This IP set is the one on which the client can initiate the new MP-JOIN sub flows.

In a deterministic large scale NAT (LSN) setup, the following issue is observed after you upgrade the Citrix ADC appliance from release 11.1 to release 12.1 or release 13.0.
The NAT IP addresses and port blocks are allocated based on the "IPADDRS" allocation policy instead of "PORTS" allocation policy.
"PORTS" type was the only deterministic allocation policy present in release 11.1 by default without any configuration option.
"IPADDRS" type is set as the default deterministic allocation policy in release 12.1 or release 13.0.
So, a deterministic LSN configuration with "PORTS" allocation policy is converted to "IPADDRS" allocation policy during the Citrix ADC upgrade process.
As part of the fix, the default deterministic allocation policy is now set to "PORTS" in the following releases:
- Release 12.1 build 61.18 onwards
- Release 13.0 build 76.x onwards

在使用SSL转发MPTCP的连接,the following counters display a large value:
- MPTCP session counter on the forwarded virtual server.
- Current client connection counter on the original virtual server.
When the connection is forwarded from the original virtual server to the forwarded virtual server, the MPTCP session counter on the forwarded virtual server is not incremented. However, when the MPTCP connection is freed, the counter is decremented. As a result, the value for the counter becomes negative.
When the connection is forwarded from the original virtual server to the forwarded virtual server, the current client connection counter on the original virtual server is incorrectly decremented. As a result, the value for the counter becomes negative.
The counter values are now calculated as follows:
Counter: Current client connections
- Value on the original virtual server: Regular TCP connections + MPTCP subflows in any state

If you (system administrator) perform all the following steps on a Citrix ADC appliance, the system users might fail to log in to the downgraded Citrix ADC appliance.
1. Upgrade the Citrix ADC appliance to one of the builds:
- 13.0 52.24 build
- 12.1 57.18 build
- 11.1 65.10 build
2. Add a system user, or change the password of an existing system user, and save the configuration, and
3. Downgrade the Citrix ADC appliance to any older build.To display the list of these system users by using the CLI:
At the command prompt, type:"query ns config -changedpassword[-config
] "Workaround:
To fix this issue, use one of the following independent options:
- If the Citrix ADC appliance is not yet downgraded (step 3 in above mentioned steps), downgrade the Citrix ADC appliance using a previously backed up configuration file (ns.conf) of the same release build.
- Any system administrator whose password was not changed on the upgraded build, can log in to the downgraded build, and update the passwords for other system users.
- If none of the above options work, a system administrator can reset the system user passwords.
