NetScaler App Delivery and Security service

Create a classic application

The classic application workflow mirrors the ADC configuration model. It uses the same structure and the same names, such as load balancing virtual server, service and service group, and bindings.

Note

Classic apps are disabled by default. To use classic apps, contact NetScaler support to enable it for your account.
