Name Data Type Permissions Description
method <String> Read-write Cipher method (and key length) to be used to encrypt and decrypt content. The default value is AES256.

Possible values = NONE, RC4, DES3, AES128, AES192, AES256, DES, DES-CBC, DES-CFB, DES-OFB, DES-ECB, DES3-CBC, DES3-CFB, DES3-OFB, DES3-ECB, AES128-CBC, AES128-CFB, AES128-OFB, AES128-ECB, AES192-CBC, AES192-CFB, AES192-OFB, AES192-ECB, AES256-CBC, AES256-CFB, AES256-OFB, AES256-ECB
keyvalue <String> Read-write The base64-encoded key generation number, method, and key value.

Note:

* Do not include this argument if you are changing the encryption method.

* To generate a new key value for the current encryption method, specify an empty string \(""\) as the value of this parameter. The parameter is passed implicitly, with its automatically generated value, to the Citrix ADC packet engines even when it is not included in the command. Passing the parameter to the packet engines enables the appliance to save the key value to the configuration file and to propagate the key value to the secondary appliance in a high availability setup.

Operations

  • UPDATE
  • GET (ALL)

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>

*Note: * Mandatory parameters are marked in red and placeholder content is marked in green
