一个ssign a Net Profile for the managed NetScaler instances from NetScaler ADM

When you enable analytics for the virtual servers in NetScaler ADM, the AppFlow data from the NetScaler is exported to NetScaler ADM through the NetScaler subnet IP address (SNIP). In some scenarios, the SNIP might be blocked because of the firewall in the network. In such scenarios, you might have to use a different IP address than the SNIP. For more information about net profile, seeUse a specified source IP for back-end communication

You can now assign net profiles to a NetScaler instance through NetScaler ADM. Navigate toInfrastructure > Instances > Citrix ADC, select the instance, and from theSelect Actionlist, clickConfigure Net Profilesto assign a net profile for the instance.

Note:

Ensure that you have disabled analytics in all virtual servers before you assign a net profile for the instance.

CVE-2022-21827 not in scope of NetScaler ADM Security Advisory

The CVE-2022-21827 impacts the NetScaler Gateway plug-in for Windows supported versions prior to 21.9.1.2.

The detection and remediation of vulnerabilities impacting the NetScaler Gateway plug-in for Windows is not supported by the NetScaler ADM. Also, NetScaler Gateway plug-in vulnerabilities cannot be assessed by performing any checks on ADC side, verifying the ADC version, or by checking the ADC configuration. The detection and remediation for this CVE can only be assessed based on the version of the NetScaler Gateway plug-in for Windows deployed on the client.

一个s a result, the detection and remediation of this vulnerability is out of NetScaler ADM Security Advisory scope.

StyleBooks

Updates of the StyleBook configuration pack are automatically reconciled

Sometimes, updating a StyleBook configuration pack that is deployed on an ADC instance can have differences from its deployed state. In such cases, the configuration pack update fails. The StyleBook engine now automatically reconciles these differences and updates the configuration pack. Earlier, a message appeared on the GUI that needed your confirmation to reconcile the changes before updating the configuration pack.

[NSADM-80660]

Manage data sources in ADM

Defining a data source in NetScaler ADM helps you to use data from external sources as an input while creating or updating StyleBook configurations. Otherwise, you have to explicitly supply each input required by the StyleBook. In NetScaler ADM, you can use any managed ADC instance as a data source for the input to a StyleBook configuration. In NetScaler ADM, you can use the managed ADC instances as data sources. You can also define custom data sources which can serve as input when creating or updating configurations. To view custom data sources, go to一个pplications > Configuration > Data Sources

Use thedatumbuilt-in type in the StyleBook definition to define a data source.

Example:

parameters:-name:selected-lblabel:Select an existing ADCtype:datumrequired:truedata-source:type:managed-adc

In this example, thedatumparameter is used to define themanaged-adcdata source. This data source allows you to retrieve data from the ADC instances managed by NetScaler ADM.

[NSADM-80659]

Check the StyleBook compatibility for a configuration pack

When you are changing the StyleBook for a configuration pack in the ADM GUI, you can now determine the changes from the newly selected StyleBook definition. And, how these changes affect the configuration pack. With this information, you can make necessary updates to the StyleBook definition before changing it. Or, you can decide to continue with the existing StyleBook.

For example, if you change the StyleBook for a configuration pack, the existing StyleBook can have an allowed port HTTPS whereas the newly selected StyleBook can have SSL. In this case, you may need to edit the same HTTPS values for SSL port as well.

StyleBooks support nested parameter-conditions

In a StyleBook definition, you can now specify a parameter condition within a parameter condition. These conditions are called nested parameter conditions and use a repeat construct to define these conditions. The nested parameter conditions are useful when you want to apply an action to each item of a list parameter.

Example:

parameters-conditions:-repeat:$parameters.lbvserversrepeat-item:lbvserverparameters-conditions:-target:$lbvserver.portaction:set-allowed-valuescondition:$lbvserver.protocol == "HTTPS"value:$parameters.ssl-ports

In this example, when the user selects the HTTPS protocol for a load balancing virtual server, the port values are dynamically populated. And, it applies for each load balancing virtual servers in the list.
