Application Delivery Management

Use default StyleBooks

A set of default StyleBooks are provided with Citrix Application Delivery Management (ADM). When you use a default StyleBook, you have to specify values for the parameters in the StyleBook and select the IP addresses of the Citrix ADC instances where you want to execute the configuration. After you submit the configuration, Citrix ADM validates the parameter values you have specified, creates a graph of the configuration, connects to the Citrix ADC instances, and executes the configuration on the instances.

To create a configuration from a default StyleBook

1.Navigate to Applications > Configurations > StyleBooks. The StyleBooks page displays all StyleBooks in Citrix ADM. This list includes both default and custom StyleBooks. You can type the name of the StyleBook in the search field and press the Enter key. Else, you can scroll down the list to find the StyleBook.

2.Click Create Configuration. Specify the required values for the parameters.

3.Under Target Instances, click and select the IP address of the Citrix ADC instance where you want to execute the configuration. If you want to execute this configuration on multiple instances, click “+” to add more instances.

If the Prompt Credentials for Instance Login option is enabled in Citrix ADM > System > Change System Settings > Modify System Settings, you are prompted for your Citrix ADC instance credentials when you execute the configurations on the selected Citrix ADC instances. Else, Citrix ADM uses the instance credentials stored in the instance profile for logging into the instance.
