Binding Session Policies and Setting the Priority

After you configure session policies for StoreFront or App Controller integration, you can bind the policies to a user, group, virtual server, or globally. Session polices are applied as a hierarchy in the following order:

Users
Groups
Virtual servers
Globally

If you configure two or more session policies for Receiver for Windows and Receiver for Mac, Receiver for Web, and the NetScaler Gateway Plug-in, you bind the policies and then you need to set the priority number for each policy.

Numerical priority takes precedence regardless of the level at which the policy is bound. If a policy that is bound globally has a priority number of one and another policy bound to a user has a priority number of two, the global policy takes precedence. A lower priority number gives the policy a higher precedence.

The Program Neighborhood Agent session policy receives the lowest priority number and the NetScaler Gateway Plug-in session policy receives the highest priority number. Citrix recommends setting the session policies in the following order to ensure that any change to the User-Agent header does not affect user connections:

Program Neighborhood Agent session policy
Receiver for Web
Receiver for Windows and Receiver for Mac
NetScaler Gateway Plug-in

For more information about binding session policies, see Binding Session Policies.

To set the priority of a session policy

In the configuration utility, on the Home tab, click Create New NetScaler Gateway.
In the details pane, select a virtual server and then click Open.
In the configure NetScaler Gateway Virtual Server dialog box, click the Policies tab and then click Session.
Next to the session policy, under Priority, enter the priority number and then click OK.
