Configure advanced policy infrastructure 编辑

You can create advanced policies for various Citrix ADC features, including DNS, Rewrite, Responder, and Integrated Caching, and the clientless access function in the Citrix Gateway. Policies control the behavior of these features.

When you create a policy, you assign it a name, a rule (an expression), feature-specific attributes, and an action that is taken when data matches the policy. After creating the policy, you determine when it is invoked by binding it globally or to either request-time or response-time processing for a virtual server.

Policies that share the same bind point are known as a policy bank. For example, all policies that are bound to a virtual server constitute the policy bank for the virtual server. When binding the policy, you assign it a priority level to specify when it is invoked relative to other policies in the bank. In addition to assigning a priority level, you can configure an arbitrary evaluation order for policies in a bank by specifying Goto expressions.

In addition to policy banks that are associated with a built-in bind point or a virtual server, you can configure policy labels. A policy label is a policy bank that is identified by an arbitrary name. You invoke a policy label, and the policies in it, from a global or virtual-server-specific policy bank. A policy label or a virtual-server policy bank can be invoked from multiple policy banks.

For some features, you can use the policy manager to configure and bind policies.
