Synopsis

  • Configuration for DNS profile resource.

Parameters

Parameter

Comments

api_path

string

Base NITRO API path.

Define only in case of an ADM service proxy call

Default: "nitro/v1/config"

cacheecsresponses

any

Cache DNS responses with EDNS Client Subnet(ECS) option in the DNS cache. When disabled, the appliance stops caching responses with ECS option. This is relevant to proxy configuration. Enabling/disabling support of ECS option when Citrix ADC is authoritative for a GSLB domain is supported using a knob in GSLB vserver. In all other modes, ECS option is ignored.

Choices:

  • "ENABLED"

  • "DISABLED"

cachenegativeresponses

any

Cache negative responses in the DNS cache. When disabled, the appliance stops caching negative responses except referral records. This applies to all configurations - proxy, end resolver, and forwarder. However, cached responses are not flushed. The appliance does not serve negative responses from the cache until this parameter is enabled again.

Choices:

  • "ENABLED"

  • "DISABLED"

cacherecords

any

Cache resource records in the DNS cache. Applies to resource records obtained through proxy configurations only. End resolver and forwarder configurations always cache records in the DNS cache, and you cannot disable this behavior. When you disable record caching, the appliance stops caching server responses. However, cached records are not flushed. The appliance does not serve requests from the cache until record caching is enabled again.

Choices:

  • "ENABLED"

  • "DISABLED"

dnsanswerseclogging

any

DNS answer section; if enabled, answer section in the response will be logged.

Choices:

  • "ENABLED"

  • "DISABLED"

dnserrorlogging

any

DNS error logging; if enabled, whenever error is encountered in DNS module reason for the error will be logged.

Choices:

  • "ENABLED"

  • "DISABLED"

dnsextendedlogging

any

DNS extended logging; if enabled, authority and additional section in the response will be logged.

Choices:

  • "ENABLED"

  • "DISABLED"

dnsprofilename

any

Name of the DNS profile

dnsquerylogging

any

DNS query logging; if enabled, DNS query information such as DNS query id, DNS query flags , DNS domain name and DNS query type will be logged

Choices:

  • "ENABLED"

  • "DISABLED"

dropmultiqueryrequest

any

Drop the DNS requests containing multiple queries. When enabled, DNS requests containing multiple queries will be dropped. In case of proxy configuration by default the DNS request containing multiple queries is forwarded to the backend and in case of ADNS and Resolver configuration NOCODE error response will be sent to the client.

Choices:

  • "ENABLED"

  • "DISABLED"

if you select Prompt Credentials for Instance Login,

ensure to configure username and password of a managed instance.

managed_netscaler_instance_username

string

added in netscaler.adc 2.6.0

The username of the managed NetScaler instance.

Define only in case of an ADM service proxy call

ensure to configure username and password of a managed instance.

netscaler_console_as_proxy_server

boolean

added in netscaler.adc 2.6.0

nitro_user

string

The username with which to authenticate to the NetScaler ADC node.

nsip

string / required

save_config

boolean

If true the module will save the configuration on the NetScaler ADC node if it makes any changes.

Choices:

  • false ← (default)

  • true

state

string

The state of the resource being configured by the module on the NetScaler ADC node.

When present, the resource will be added/updated configured according to the module’s parameters.

When unset, the resource will be unset on the NetScaler ADC node.

Choices:

  • "present" ← (default)

  • "absent"

  • "unset"

validate_certs

boolean

If false, SSL certificates will not be validated. This should only be used on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates.
