Default value: ENABLED

Possible values = ENABLED, DISABLED

* %T - Will be replaced by the current time in 24-hour format.

* %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.

Minimum length = 1
natpcbforceflushlimit <Double> Read-write Flush the system if the number of Network Address Translation Protocol Control Blocks (NATPCBs) exceeds this value.

Default value: 2147483647

Minimum value = 1000
natpcbrstontimeout <String> Read-write 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.

Default value: DISABLED

Possible values = ENABLED, DISABLED
timeout <Double> Read-write 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 <String> Read-write 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.

Default value: ENABLED

Possible values = ENABLED, DISABLED
minpasswordlen <Double> Read-write 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 <String> Read-write 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 ( ~, `, !, @, #, $, %, ^, ;, *, -, _, =, +, {, }, [, ], |, \, :, <, >, /, ., ,, " ").

So no Strong Password checks will be performed on these ObjectType commands for enablelocal case.

Default value: disabled

Possible values = enableall, enablelocal, disabled
restrictedtimeout <String> Read-write 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.

Operations

(click to see Properties )

  • UPDATE
  • UNSET
  • 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
