Properties

(click to see Operations)

Name Data Type PermissionsDescription
vservername<String>Read-writeName of the SSL virtual server for which to set advanced configuration.<br>Minimum length = 1
cleartextport<Integer>Read-writePort on which clear-text data is sent by the appliance to the server. Do not specify this parameter for SSL offloading with end-to-end encryption.<br>Default value: 0
dh<String>Read-writeState of Diffie-Hellman (DH) key exchange.<br>Default value: DISABLED<br>Possible values = ENABLED, DISABLED
dhfile<String>Read-writeName of and, optionally, path to the DH parameter file, in PEM format, to be installed. /nsconfig/ssl/ is the default path.<br>Minimum length = 1
dhcount<Double>Read-writeNumber of interactions, between the client and the NetScaler appliance, after which the DH private-public pair is regenerated. A value of zero (0) specifies infinite use (no refresh).<br>Minimum value = 0<br>Maximum value = 65534
ersa<String>Read-writeState of Ephemeral RSA (eRSA) key exchange. Ephemeral RSA allows clients that support only export ciphers to communicate with the secure server even if the server certificate does not support export clients. The ephemeral RSA key is automatically generated when you bind an export cipher to an SSL or TCP-based SSL virtual server or service. When you remove the export cipher, the eRSA key is not deleted. It is reused at a later date when another export cipher is bound to an SSL or TCP-based SSL virtual server or service. The eRSA key is deleted when the appliance restarts.<br>Default value: ENABLED<br>Possible values = ENABLED, DISABLED
ersacount<Double>Read-writeRefresh count for regeneration of the RSA public-key and private-key pair. Zero (0) specifies infinite usage (no refresh).<br>Minimum value = 0<br>Maximum value = 65534
sessreuse<String>Read-writeState of session reuse. Establishing the initial handshake requires CPU-intensive public key encryption operations. With the ENABLED setting, session key exchange is avoided for session resumption requests received from the client.<br>Default value: ENABLED<br>Possible values = ENABLED, DISABLED
sesstimeout<Double>Read-writeTime, in seconds, for which to keep the session active. Any session resumption request received after the timeout period will require a fresh SSL handshake and establishment of a new SSL session.<br>Default value: 120<br>Minimum value = 0<br>Maximum value = 4294967294
cipherredirect<String>Read-writeState of Cipher Redirect. If cipher redirect is enabled, you can configure an SSL virtual server or service to display meaningful error messages if the SSL handshake fails because of a cipher mismatch between the virtual server or service and the client.<br>Default value: DISABLED<br>Possible values = ENABLED, DISABLED
cipherurl<String>Read-writeThe redirect URL to be used with the Cipher Redirect feature.
sslv2redirect<String>Read-writeState of SSLv2 Redirect. If SSLv2 redirect is enabled, you can configure an SSL virtual server or service to display meaningful error messages if the SSL handshake fails because of a protocol version mismatch between the virtual server or service and the client.<br>Default value: DISABLED<br>Possible values = ENABLED, DISABLED
sslv2url<String>Read-writeURL of the page to which to redirect the client in case of a protocol version mismatch. Typically, this page has a clear explanation of the error or an alternative location that the transaction can continue from.
clientauth<String>Read-writeState of client authentication. If client authentication is enabled, the virtual server terminates the SSL handshake if the SSL client does not provide a valid certificate.<br>Default value: DISABLED<br>Possible values = ENABLED, DISABLED
clientcert<String>Read-writeType of client authentication. If this parameter is set to MANDATORY, the appliance terminates the SSL handshake if the SSL client does not provide a valid certificate. With the OPTIONAL setting, the appliance requests a certificate from the SSL clients but proceeds with the SSL transaction even if the client presents an invalid certificate. Caution: Define proper access control policies before changing this setting to Optional.<br>Possible values = Mandatory, Optional
sslredirect<String>Read-writeState of HTTPS redirects for the SSL virtual server. For an SSL session, if the client browser receives a redirect message, the browser tries to connect to the new location. However, the secure SSL session breaks if the object has moved from a secure site (https://) to an unsecure site (http://). Typically, a warning message appears on the screen, prompting the user to continue or disconnect. If SSL Redirect is ENABLED, the redirect message is automatically converted from http:// to https:// and the SSL session does not break.<br>Default value: DISABLED<br>Possible values = ENABLED, DISABLED
redirectportrewrite<String>Read-writeState of the port rewrite while performing HTTPS redirect. If this parameter is ENABLED and the URL from the server does not contain the standard port, the port is rewritten to the standard.<br>Default value: DISABLED<br>Possible values = ENABLED, DISABLED
nonfipsciphers<String>Read-writeState of usage of non-FIPS approved ciphers. Valid only for an SSL service bound with a FIPS key and certificate.<br>Default value: DISABLED<br>Possible values = ENABLED, DISABLED
ssl2<String>Read-writeState of SSLv2 protocol support for the SSL Virtual Server.<br>Default value: DISABLED<br>Possible values = ENABLED, DISABLED
ssl3<String>Read-writeState of SSLv3 protocol support for the SSL Virtual Server.<br>Default value: ENABLED<br>Possible values = ENABLED, DISABLED
tls1<String>Read-writeState of TLSv1.0 protocol support for the SSL Virtual Server.<br>Default value: ENABLED<br>Possible values = ENABLED, DISABLED
tls11<String>Read-writeState of TLSv1.1 protocol support for the SSL Virtual Server. TLSv1.1 protocol is supported only on the MPX appliance. Support is not available on a FIPS appliance or on a NetScaler VPX virtual appliance. On an SDX appliance, TLSv1.1 protocol is supported only if an SSL chip is assigned to the instance.<br>Default value: ENABLED<br>Possible values = ENABLED, DISABLED
tls12<String>Read-writeState of TLSv1.2 protocol support for the SSL Virtual Server. TLSv1.2 protocol is supported only on the MPX appliance. Support is not available on a FIPS appliance or on a NetScaler VPX virtual appliance. On an SDX appliance, TLSv1.2 protocol is supported only if an SSL chip is assigned to the instance.<br>Default value: ENABLED<br>Possible values = ENABLED, DISABLED
snienable<String>Read-writeState of the Server Name Indication (SNI) feature on the virtual server and service-based offload. SNI helps to enable SSL encryption on multiple domains on a single virtual server or service if the domains are controlled by the same organization and share the same second-level domain name. For example, *.sports.net can be used to secure domains such as login.sports.net and help.sports.net.<br>Default value: DISABLED<br>Possible values = ENABLED, DISABLED
pushenctrigger<String>Read-writeTrigger encryption on the basis of the PUSH flag value. Available settings function as follows: * ALWAYS - Any PUSH packet triggers encryption. * IGNORE - Ignore PUSH packet for triggering encryption. * MERGE - For a consecutive sequence of PUSH packets, the last PUSH packet triggers encryption. * TIMER - PUSH packet triggering encryption is delayed by the time defined in the set ssl parameter command or in the Change Advanced SSL Settings dialog box.<br>Possible values = Always, Merge, Ignore, Timer
sendclosenotify<String>Read-writeEnable sending SSL Close-Notify at the end of a transaction.<br>Default value: YES<br>Possible values = YES, NO
dtlsprofilename<String>Read-writeName of the DTLS profile whose settings are to be applied to the virtual server.<br>Minimum length = 1<br>Maximum length = 127
sslprofile<String>Read-writeSSL profile associated to vserver.<br>Minimum length = 1<br>Maximum length = 127
cipherdetails<Boolean>Read-writeDisplay details of the individual ciphers bound to the SSL virtual server.
crlcheck<String>Read-onlyThe state of the CRL check parameter. (Mandatory/Optional).<br>Possible values = Mandatory, Optional
service<Double>Read-onlyService.
servicename<String>Read-onlyService name.
ocspcheck<String>Read-onlyThe state of the OCSP check parameter. (Mandatory/Optional).<br>Possible values = Mandatory, Optional
ca<Boolean>Read-onlyCA certificate.
snicert<Boolean>Read-onlyThe name of the CertKey. Use this option to bind Certkey(s) which will be used in SNI processing.
skipcaname<Boolean>Read-onlyThe flag is used to indicate whether this particular CA certificates CA_Name needs to be sent to the SSL client while requesting for client certificate in a SSL handshake.
dtlsflag<Boolean>Read-onlyThe flag is used to indicate whether DTLS is set or not.
__count<Double>Read-onlycount parameter

Operations

(click to see Properties)

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>

Note:

Mandatory parameters are marked in red and placeholder content is marked in <green>.
