add responder policy

Creates a responder policy, which specifies requests that the Citrix ADC intercepts and responds to directly instead of forwarding them to a protected server.

Synopsis

add responder policy <name> <rule> <action> [<undefAction>] [-comment <string>] [-logAction <string>] [-appflowAction <string>]

Arguments

name

Name for the responder policy. Must begin with a letter, number, or the underscore character (_), and must contain only letters, numbers, and the hyphen (-), period (.) pound (#), space ( ), at (@), equals (=), colon (:), and underscore characters. Can be changed after the responder policy is added.

The following requirement applies only to the Citrix ADC CLI: If the name includes one or more spaces, enclose the name in double or single quotation marks (for example, "my responder policy" or 'my responder policy').

rule

Expression that the policy uses to determine whether to respond to the specified request.

action

Name of the responder action to perform if the request matches this responder policy. There are also some built-in actions which can be used. These are: * NOOP - Send the request to the protected server instead of responding to it. * RESET - Reset the client connection by closing it. The client program, such as a browser, will handle this and may inform the user. The client may then resend the request if desired. * DROP - Drop the request without sending a response to the user.

undefAction
