For example, if the search filter "vpnallowed=true" is combined with the LDAP login name "samaccount" and the user-supplied username is "bob", the result is the LDAP search string ""(;(vpnallowed=true)(samaccount=bob)"" (Be sure to enclose the search string in two sets of double quotation marks; both sets are needed.).

Minimum length = 1

validateservercert <String> Read-write When to validate LDAP server certs.

Default value: NO

Possible values = YES, NO
ldaphostname <String> Read-write Hostname for the LDAP server. If -validateServerCert is ON then this must be the host name on the certificate from the LDAP server.

A hostname mismatch will cause a connection failure.
groupnameidentifier <String> Read-write Name that uniquely identifies a group in LDAP or Active Directory.
groupsearchattribute <String> Read-write LDAP group search attribute.

Used to determine to which groups a group belongs.
groupsearchsubattribute <String> Read-write LDAP group search subattribute.

Used to determine to which groups a group belongs.
groupsearchfilter <String> Read-write String to be combined with the default LDAP group search string to form the search value. For example, the group search filter ""vpnallowed=true"" when combined with the group identifier ""samaccount"" and the group name ""g1"" yields the LDAP search string ""(;(vpnallowed=true)(samaccount=g1)"". (Be sure to enclose the search string in two sets of double quotation marks; both sets are needed.).

Operations

(click to see Properties )

  • ADD
  • DELETE
  • UPDATE
  • UNSET
  • GET (ALL)
  • GET
  • COUNT

Some options that you can use for each operations:

  • Getting warnings in response: NITRO allows you to get warnings in an operation by specifying the 'warning' query parameter as 'yes'. For example, to get warnings while connecting to the NetScaler appliance, the URL is as follows:

    http:// <netscaler-ip-address> /nitro/v1/config/login?warning=yes

    If any, the warnings are displayed in the response payload with the HTTP code '209 X-NITRO-WARNING'.

  • Authenticated access for individual NITRO operations: NITRO allows you to logon to the NetScaler appliance to perform individual operations. You can use this option instead of creating a NITRO session (using the login object) and then using that session to perform all operations,

    To do this, you must specify the username and password in the request header of the NITRO request as follows:

    X-NITRO-USER: <username>

    X-NITRO-PASS: <password>

    Note: In such cases, make sure that the request header DOES not include the following:

    Cookie:NITRO_AUTH_TOKEN= <tokenvalue>

Mandatory parameters are marked in red and placeholder content is marked in green
