Chapter 2 Configuring Advanced Policies 15
To create or modify an advanced policy by using the configuration utility
1. In the navigation pane, expand the name of the feature for which you want
to configure a policy, and then click Policies. For example, you can select
Content Switching, Integrated Caching, DNS, Rewrite, or Responder.
2. In the details pane, click Add, or select an existing policy and click Open.
A policy configuration dialog box appears.
3. Specify values for the following parameters. (An asterisk indicates a
required parameter. For a term in parentheses, see the corresponding
parameter in the table above.)
• Name* (policyName)
• Expression* (expression)
• Other parameters, as required (feature-specific information)
4. Click Create, and then click Close.
5. Click Save.
Note: After you create a policy, you can view the policy’s details by clicking
the policy entry in the configuration pane. Details that are highlighted and
underlined are links to the corresponding entity (for example, a named
expression).
Policy Configuration Examples
These examples show how policies and their associated actions are entered at the
NetScaler command line. In the configuration utility, the expressions would
appear in the Expression window of the feature-configuration dialog box for the
integrated caching or rewrite feature.
Following is an example of creating a caching policy. Note that actions for
caching policies are built in, so you do not need to configure them separately
from the policy.
add cache policy BranchReportsCachePolicy -rule
q{http.req.url.query.value("actionoverride").contains("branchReport
s")} -action cache
Following is an example of a Rewrite policy and action:
add rewrite action myAction1 INSERT_HTTP_HEADER "myHeader"
"valueForMyHeader"
add rewrite policy myPolicy1
"http.req.url.contains(\"myURLstring\")" myAction1
