NetScaler 14.1 crash during SAML changes

Short information about a interesting issue during SAML changes. We see in different environments with NetScaler 14.1 VPX which crashes during changes in a SAML Action. All the configuration is the same, that the NetScaler is SAML SP.

If the SAML action is changed from "Import Metadata" to manual configuration and click to "OK", then the NetScaler reboots and write a Core-Dump.

 

This is the starting point:

 

Then we changed it to manual configuration and click to "OK".


The NetScaler directly reboots and write the Core-Dump.

 

We see this issue with NetScaler 14.1 25.56. With Build 29.63 is looks like fixed.

To avoid this issue with Build 25.56, simply select the old action and clone it with ‘Add’. Here you can configure your changes. Then you can use this new action for the policy. Then you can delete the old one.
