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

In Settings > Administration > System Configurations > Basic Settings,

if you select Prompt Credentials for Instance Login,

name

string

Name for the SNMPv3 group. Can consist of 1 to 31 characters that include uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and the hyphen (-), period (.) pound (#), space ( ), at sign (@), equals (=), colon (:), and underscore (_) characters. You should choose a name that helps identify the SNMPv3 group.

The following requirement applies only to the Citrix ADC CLI:

If the name includes one or more spaces, enclose it in double or single quotation marks (for example, “my name” or ‘my name’).

netscaler_console_as_proxy_server

boolean

added in netscaler.adc 2.6.0

The IP address of the NetScaler ADC appliance acting as a proxy server.

Define only in case of an ADM service proxy call

Choices:

  • false ← (default)

  • true

nitro_auth_token

string

The authentication token provided by a login operation.

nitro_pass

string

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

nitro_protocol

string

Which protocol to use when accessing the nitro API objects.

Choices:

  • "http"

  • "https" ← (default)

nitro_user

string

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

nsip

string / required

The ip address of the NetScaler ADC appliance where the nitro API calls will be made.

The port can be specified with the colon (:). E.g. 192.168.1.1:555.

readviewname

string

Name of the configured SNMPv3 view that you want to bind to this SNMPv3 group. An SNMPv3 user bound to this group can access the subtrees that are bound to this SNMPv3 view as type INCLUDED, but cannot access the ones that are type EXCLUDED. If the Citrix ADC has multiple SNMPv3 view entries with the same name, all such entries are associated with the SNMPv3 group.

save_config

boolean

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

The module will not save the configuration on the NetScaler ADC node if it made no changes.

Choices:

  • false ← (default)

  • true

securitylevel

string

Security level required for communication between the Citrix ADC and the SNMPv3 users who belong to the group. Specify one of the following options:

noAuthNoPriv. Require neither authentication nor encryption.

authNoPriv. Require authentication but no encryption.

authPriv. Require authentication and encryption.

Note: If you specify authentication, you must specify an encryption algorithm when you assign an SNMPv3 user to the group. If you also specify encryption, you must assign both an authentication and an encryption algorithm for each group member.

Choices:

  • "noAuthNoPriv"

  • "authNoPriv"

  • "authPriv"

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 absent, the resource will be deleted from the NetScaler ADC node.

Choices:

  • "absent"
