[ NSHELP-25971 ]
The Citrix ADC appliance dumps core when NOAUTH is configured as the first factor and Negotiate as the subsequent factor in the 401 based authentication flow.

[ NSHELP-25203 ]
If the admin password for LDAP, RADIUS or TACACS services contains the double quotes (“) character, the Citrix ADC appliance strips it during the “Test Connectivity” check, resulting in connection failure.

[ NSHELP-23630 ]
A Citrix ADC crashes when the following conditions are met:
- 401-based certificate authentication happens through a load balancing virtual server.
- There is no authentication policy that is bound to an authentication virtual server.
- Debug logging is enabled.
[ NSAUTH-13259 ]
Administrators cannot perform custom logging for authentication failures that happen due to invalid credentials. This issue occurs because the Citrix ADC responder policies fail to detect errors for login failures.

[ NSAUTH-11151 ]
ADFS proxy profile can be configured in a cluster deployment. The status for a proxy profile is incorrectly displayed as blank upon issuing the following command.
show adfsproxyprofile <profile name>

Workaround: Connect to the primary active Citrix ADC in the cluster and run the show adfsproxyprofile <profile name> command. It would display the proxy profile status.

[ NSAUTH-5916 ]

Citrix ADC SDX Appliance

When you upgrade a Citrix ADC SDX appliance, in rare cases the following incorrect event appears in the Management Service GUI:

“SVM version and Hypervisor version are not compatible”

[ NSHELP-31357, CGOP-21192, NSCXLCM-612 ]
When Always on is configured, the user tunnel fails because of the incorrect version number (1.1.1.1) in the aoservice.exe file.

[ NSHELP-30662 ]
Users cannot connect to the Citrix Gateway appliance after changing the ‘networkAccessOnVPNFailure’ always on profile parameter from ‘fullAccess’ to ‘onlyToGateway`.

[ NSHELP-30236 ]
The gateway home page is not displayed immediately after the gateway plug-in establishes the VPN tunnel successfully. To fix this issue, the following registry value is introduced.

HKLMSoftwareCitrixSecure Access ClientSecureChannelResetTimeoutSeconds
Type: DWORD

By default, this registry value is not set or added. When the value of “SecureChannelResetTimeoutSeconds” is 0 or not added, the fix to handle the delay does not work, which is the default behavior. Admin has to set this registry on the client to enable the fix (that is to display the home page immediately after the gateway plug-in establishes the VPN tunnel successfully).

[ NSHELP-30189 ]
The Windows VPN client does not honor the ‘SSL close notify’ alert from the server and sends the transfer login request on the same connection.

[ NSHELP-29675 ]

[ NSHELP-21897 ]
In a Citrix ADC cluster setup, HDX Insight and Gateway Insight cannot be enabled simultaneously.

[ CGOP-23570 ]
The Windows OS option is not listed in the Expression Editor drop-down list for pre-authentication policies and authentication actions on the Citrix ADC GUI. However, if you have already configured the Widows OS scan on a previous Citrix ADC build using the GUI or the CLI, the upgrade does not impact the functionality. You can use the CLI to make changes, if required.

Workaround:

Use the CLI commands for the configuration.
- To configure advanced EPA action in nFactor authentication, use the following command.
  add authentication epaAction adv_win_scan -csecexpr “sys.client_expr(“sys_0_WIN-OS_NAME_anyof_WIN-10[COMMENT: Windows OS]”)”
- To configure a classic pre-authentication action, use the following commands.
  add aaa preauthenticationaction win_scan_action ALLOW
  add aaa preauthenticationpolicy win_scan_policy “CLIENT.SYSTEM(‘WIN-OS_NAME_anyof_WIN-10[COMMENT: Windows OS]’) EXISTS” win_scan_action

[ NSHELP-34094 ]

System

High RTT is observed for a TCP connection if the following condition is met:
- a high maximum congestion window (>4 MB) is set
- TCP NILE algorithm is enabled
For a Citrix ADC appliance to use the NILE algorithm for congestion control, the conditions must exceed the slow start threshold, which is coupled with the maximum congestion window

So, until the maximum configured congestion window is reached, the Citrix ADC continues to accept data and ends up with high RTT.

[ NSHELP-31548 ]
A Citrix ADC appliance might crash when the following condition is met:
- Both analytics profile and AppFlow policy are bound, and the profile has the “httpAllHdrs” option enabled.
[ NSHELP-30628 ]

While viewing the policies bound to a content switching policy label in the Citrix ADC GUI, only 25 policies are displayed even though there are more policies bound to that policy label.

Sometimes it takes a long time for the Application firewall signatures to sync to non-CCO nodes. As a result, commands using these files might fail.

If you (system administrator) perform all the following steps on a Citrix ADC appliance, the system users might fail to log in to the downgraded Citrix ADC appliance.
1. Upgrade the Citrix ADC appliance to one of the builds
  - 13.0 52.24 build
  - 12.1 57.18 build
  - 11.1 65.10 build
2. Add a system user, or change the password of an existing system user, and save the configuration, and
3. Downgrade the Citrix ADC appliance to any older build.
To display the list of these system users by using the CLI:
At the command prompt, type:

query ns config -changedpassword [-config <full path of the configuration file (ns.conf)>]

Workaround: To fix this issue, use one of the following independent options:
- If the Citrix ADC appliance is not yet downgraded (step 3 in above mentioned steps), downgrade the Citrix ADC appliance using a previously backed up configuration file (ns.conf) of the same release build.
- Any system administrator whose password was not changed on the upgraded build, can log in to the downgraded build, and update the passwords for other system users.
- If none of the above options work, a system administrator can reset the system user passwords.
