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.

ocspstapling

any

State of OCSP stapling support on the SSL virtual server. Supported only if the protocol used is higher than SSLv3. Possible values:

ENABLED: The appliance sends a request to the OCSP responder to check the status of the server certificate and caches the response for the specified time. If the response is valid at the time of SSL handshake with the client, the OCSP-based server certificate status is sent to the client during the handshake.

DISABLED: The appliance does not check the status of the server certificate.

Choices:

  • "ENABLED"

  • "DISABLED"

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

sendclosenotify

any

Enable sending SSL Close-Notify at the end of a transaction

Choices:

  • "YES"

  • "NO"

serverauth

any

State of server authentication support for the SSL service group.

Choices:

  • "ENABLED"

  • "DISABLED"

servicegroupname

any

Name of the SSL service group for which to set advanced configuration.

sessreuse

any

State 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.

Choices:

  • "ENABLED"

  • "DISABLED"

sesstimeout

any

Time, 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.

snienable

any

State of the Server Name Indication (SNI) feature on the service. 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.

Choices:

  • "ENABLED"

  • "DISABLED"

ssl3

any

State of SSLv3 protocol support for the SSL service group.

Note: On platforms with SSL acceleration chips, if the SSL chip does not support SSLv3, this parameter cannot be set to ENABLED.

Choices:

  • "ENABLED"

  • "DISABLED"

sslprofile

any

Name of the SSL profile that contains SSL settings for the Service Group.
