Synopsis

  • Configuration for RSA key resource.

Parameters

Parameter

Comments

aes256

boolean

Encrypt the generated RSA key by using the AES algorithm.

Choices:

  • false

  • true

api_path

string

Base NITRO API path.

Define only in case of an ADM service proxy call

Default: "nitro/v1/config"

bits

float

Size, in bits, of the RSA key.

des

boolean

Encrypt the generated RSA key by using the DES algorithm. On the command line, you are prompted to enter the pass phrase (password) that is used to encrypt the key.

Choices:

  • false

  • true

des3

boolean

Encrypt the generated RSA key by using the Triple-DES algorithm. On the command line, you are prompted to enter the pass phrase (password) that is used to encrypt the key.

Choices:

  • false

  • true

exponent

string

Public exponent for the RSA key. The exponent is part of the cipher algorithm and is required for creating the RSA key.

Choices:

  • "3"

  • "F4"

keyfile

string

Name for and, optionally, path to the RSA key file. /nsconfig/ssl/ is the default path.

keyform

string

Format in which the RSA key file is stored on the appliance.

Choices:

  • "DER"

  • "PEM"

managed_netscaler_instance_id

string

added in netscaler.adc 2.6.0

The ID of the managed NetScaler instance to which NetScaler Console

has to configure as a proxy server.

Define only in case of an ADM service proxy call

managed_netscaler_instance_ip

string

added in netscaler.adc 2.6.0

The IP of the managed NetScaler instance to which NetScaler Console

has to configure as a proxy server.

Define only in case of an ADM service proxy call

managed_netscaler_instance_name

string

added in netscaler.adc 2.6.0

The name of the managed NetScaler instance to which NetScaler Console

has to configure as a proxy server.

Define only in case of an ADM service proxy call

managed_netscaler_instance_password

string

added in netscaler.adc 2.6.0

The password 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,

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,

ensure to configure username and password of a managed instance.

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.

password

string

Pass phrase to use for encryption if DES or DES3 option is selected.

pkcs8

boolean

Create the private key in PKCS#8 format.

Choices:

  • false

  • true

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

state

string

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

When created, the `create` operation will be applied on the resource.

Choices:

  • "created"

Default: "present"

validate_certs

boolean

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

Choices:

  • false

  • true ← (default)
