Unified configuration file for the NetScaler appliance

August 16, 2023

Contributed by:

The NetScaler appliance supports a unified configuration file (unified.conf) that contains the NetScaler configurations (ns.conf), dynamic routing configurations (zebos.conf), and the Hardware Security Module (HSM) configurations (chrystoki.conf).

The unified configuration file provides a single view of different types of configurations. This unified configuration file is only for viewing purpose and it cannot be used to apply the configurations in another NetScaler appliance.

The complete path of the unified configuration file in the NetScaler appliance is: /nsconfig/unified.conf. You can access the unified configuration file by using the shell command prompt. The unified configuration file is supported only for standalone NetScaler appliances and high availability setups.

Saving a NetScaler configuration or a dynamic routing configuration also automatically saves the configuration in the unified configuration file along with saving in the NetScaler configuration file (ns.conf) or the dynamic routing configuration file (zebos.conf).

Saving a Hardware Security Module (HSM) configuration does not automatically saves the configuration in the unified configuration file. You need to perform the saveconfig operation, which syncs the HSM configuration file (chrystoki.conf) to the unified configuration file.
