Netscaler sends Syslog messages for SSL Handshake with ”\n”
Article ID: CTX586521

Description
Syslog messages sent from the NetScaler to the external Syslog Server includes unexpected occurrence of "\n"
Interestingly, a pattern is seen where ”\n” is seen periodically after every 6 messages(or similar)
Need to know if this a normal behavior or it's an issue.
Resolution
The "Subject Name" of the SSL Certificate bound to the server to be updated with a valid string than leaving it blank.
Problem Cause
The SSL Certificate is bound to the Vserver and the "subjectName" string is empty in this Certificate
This empty string is logged as "\n" with the Syslog and seen with wireshark traces
The NetScaler's audit log adds a NULL termination "\n" for all the strings that are displayed, and the same is recorded in packet captures.
This is by design, and working as expected.
