Synopsis

  • Configuration for SNMP user 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"

any

Plain-text pass phrase to be used by the authentication algorithm specified by the authType (Authentication Type) parameter. 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.

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.

nitro_auth_token

string

The authentication token provided by a login operation.

nitro_pass

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.

privpasswd

any

Encryption key to be used by the encryption algorithm specified by the privType (Encryption Type) parameter.

privtype

any

Encryption algorithm used by the Citrix ADC and the SNMPv3 user for encrypting the communication between them. You must specify the same encryption algorithm when you configure the SNMPv3 user in the SNMP manager.

Choices:

  • "DES"

  • "AES"

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:
