Resolution
Create and apply Advanced Authentication Policy in NetScaler
- Go Security>>AAA-Application Traffic>>Policies>>Authentication>>Advanced Policies>>Policy
- Click Add to create new Advanced Authentication Policy
Problem Cause
Classic Policy Expression has been deprecated, which is replaced with Advanced Policy Expression now. NetScaler NOT support to apply both Classic Policy and Advanced Policy together.
All applied Policies in NetScaler, like Authentication Policy, Session Policy, Rewrite, Responder Policy. etc, their policy expression MUST write in Advanced Policy Expression format.
In NetScaler Gateway, the most common symptom we met is: Authentication Policy is configured with Classic Policy Expression, while Session Policy is with Advanced Policy Expression. This will result the Authentication Policy unable to be evaluated. User access finally blocked with authentication failure.
