set system parameter

Modifies the specified system parameters.

Synopsis

set system parameter [-rbaOnResponse ( ENABLED | DISABLED )] [-promptString <string>] [-natPcbForceFlushLimit <positive_integer>] [-natPcbRstOnTimeout ( ENABLED | DISABLED )] [-timeout <secs>] [-localAuth ( ENABLED | DISABLED )] [-minpasswordlen <positive_integer>] [-strongpassword <strongpassword>] [-restrictedtimeout ( ENABLED | DISABLED )] [-fipsUserMode ( ENABLED | DISABLED )] [-doppler ( ENABLED | DISABLED )] [-googleanalytics ( ENABLED | DISABLED )] [-totalAuthTimeout <positive_integer>] [-cliLoglevel <cliLoglevel>] [-forcePasswordChange ( ENABLED | DISABLED )] [-basicAuth ( ENABLED | DISABLED )] [-reauthOnAuthParamChange ( ENABLED | DISABLED )] [-removeSensitiveFiles ( ENABLED | DISABLED )]

Arguments

rbaOnResponse

Enable or disable Role-Based Authentication (RBA) on responses.

Possible values: ENABLED, DISABLED Default value: ENABLED

promptString

String to display at the command-line prompt. Can consist of letters, numbers, hyphen (-), period (.), hash (#), space ( ), at (@), equal (=), colon (:), underscore (_), and the following variables: * %u - Will be replaced by the user name. * %h - Will be replaced by the hostname of the Citrix ADC. * %t - Will be replaced by the current time in 12-hour format. * %T - Will be replaced by the current time in 24-hour format. * %d - Will be replaced by the current date. * %s - Will be replaced by the state of the Citrix ADC.

Note: The 63-character limit for the length of the string does not apply to the characters that replace the variables.

natPcbForceFlushLimit

Flush the system if the number of Network Address Translation Protocol Control Blocks (NATPCBs) exceeds this value. Default value: 2147483647 Minimum value: 1000

natPcbRstOnTimeout

Send a reset signal to client and server connections when their NATPCBs time out. Avoids the buildup of idle TCP connections on both the sides.

Possible values: ENABLED, DISABLED Default value: DISABLED

timeout

CLI session inactivity timeout, in seconds. If Restrictedtimeout argument is enabled, Timeout can have values in the range [300-86400] seconds. If Restrictedtimeout argument is disabled, Timeout can have values in the range [0, 10-100000000] seconds. Default value is 900 seconds.

localAuth

When enabled, local users can access Citrix ADC even when external authentication is configured. When disabled, local users are not allowed to access the Citrix ADC, Local users can access the Citrix ADC only when the configured external authentication servers are unavailable. This parameter is not applicable to SSH Key-based authentication

Possible values: ENABLED, DISABLED Default value: ENABLED

minpasswordlen

Minimum length of system user password. When strong password is enabled default minimum length is 4. User entered value can be greater than or equal to 4. Default mininum value is 1 when strong password is disabled. Maximum value is 127 in both cases. Minimum value: 1 Maximum value: 127

strongpassword

After enabling strong password (enableall / enablelocal - not included in exclude list), all the passwords / sensitive information must have - Atleast 1 Lower case character, Atleast 1 Upper case character, Atleast 1 numeric character, Atleast 1 special character ( ~, `, !, @, #, $, %, ^, &, *, -, _, =, +, {, }, [, ], |, \, :, <, >, /, ., ,, " "). Exclude list in case of enablelocal is - NS_FIPS, NS_CRL, NS_RSAKEY, NS_PKCS12, NS_PKCS8, NS_LDAP, NS_TACACS, NS_TACACSACTION, NS_RADIUS, NS_RADIUSACTION, NS_ENCRYPTION_PARAMS. So no Strong Password checks will be performed on these ObjectType commands for enablelocal case.

Possible values: enableall, enablelocal, disabled Default value: disabled

restrictedtimeout

Enable/Disable the restricted timeout behaviour. When enabled, timeout cannot be configured beyond admin configured timeout and also it will have the [minimum - maximum] range check. When disabled, timeout will have the old behaviour. By default the value is disabled

Possible values: ENABLED, DISABLED Default value: DISABLED

fipsUserMode

Use this option to set the FIPS mode for key user-land processes. When enabled, these user-land processes will operate in FIPS mode. In this mode, theses processes will use FIPS 140-2 Level-1 certified crypto algorithms. Default is disabled, wherein, these user-land processes will not operate in FIPS mode.

Possible values: ENABLED, DISABLED Default value: DISABLED

doppler

Enable or disable Doppler

Possible values: ENABLED, DISABLED Default value: ENABLED

googleanalytics

Enable or disable Google analytics

Possible values: ENABLED, DISABLED Default value: DISABLED

totalAuthTimeout

Total time a request can take for authentication/authorization Default value: 20 Minimum value: 5 Maximum value: 120

cliLoglevel

Audit log level, which specifies the types of events to log for cli executed commands. Available values function as follows: * EMERGENCY - Events that indicate an immediate crisis on the server. * ALERT - Events that might require action. * CRITICAL - Events that indicate an imminent server crisis. * ERROR - Events that indicate some type of error. * WARNING - Events that require action in the near future. * NOTICE - Events that the administrator should know about. * INFORMATIONAL - All but low-level events. * DEBUG - All events, in extreme detail.

Possible values: EMERGENCY, ALERT, CRITICAL, ERROR, WARNING, NOTICE, INFORMATIONAL, DEBUG Default value: INFORMATIONAL

forcePasswordChange

Enable or disable force password change for nsroot user

Possible values: ENABLED, DISABLED Default value: DISABLED

basicAuth

Enable or disable basic authentication for Nitro API.

Possible values: ENABLED, DISABLED Default value: ENABLED

reauthOnAuthParamChange

Enable or disable External user reauthentication when authentication parameter changes

Possible values: ENABLED, DISABLED Default value: DISABLED

removeSensitiveFiles

Use this option to remove the sensitive files from the system like authorise keys, public keys etc. The commands which will remove sensitive files when this system paramter is enabled are rm cluster instance, rm cluster node, rm ha node, clear config full, join cluster and add cluster instance.

Possible values: ENABLED, DISABLED Default value: DISABLED

unset system parameter
