Name Data Type Permissions Description
name Read-write Name for the rewrite policy. Must begin with a letter, number, or the underscore character (_), and must contain only letters, numbers, and the hyphen (-), period (.) hash (#), space ( ), at (@), equals (=), colon (:), and underscore characters. Can be changed after the rewrite policy is added. The following requirement applies only to the Citrix ADC CLI If the name includes one or more spaces, enclose the name in double or single quotation marks (for example, “my rewrite policy” or ‘my rewrite policy’).
rule Read-write Expression against which traffic is evaluated. The following requirements apply only to the Citrix ADC CLI
  • If the expression includes one or more spaces, enclose the entire expression in double quotation marks.
  • If the expression itself includes double quotation marks, escape the quotations by using the \ character.
  • Alternatively, you can use single quotation marks to enclose the rule, in which case you do not have to escape the double quotation marks.
  • action Read-write Name of the rewrite action to perform if the request or response matches this rewrite policy. There are also some built-in actions which can be used. These are
  • NOREWRITE - Send the request from the client to the server or response from the server to the client without making any changes in the message.
  • RESET - Resets the client connection by closing it. The client program, such as a browser, will handle this and may inform the user. The client may then resend the request if desired.
  • DROP - Drop the request without sending a response to the user.
  • undefaction Read-write Action to perform if the result of policy evaluation is undefined (UNDEF). An UNDEF event indicates an internal error condition. Only the above built-in actions can be used.
    comment Read-write Any comments to preserve information about this rewrite policy.
    logaction Read-write Name of messagelog action to use when a request matches this policy.
    newname Read-write New name for the rewrite policy. Must begin with a letter, number, or the underscore character (_), and must contain only letters, numbers, and the hyphen (-), period (.) hash (#), space ( ), at (@), equals (=), colon (:), and underscore characters. The following requirement applies only to the Citrix ADC CLI If the name includes one or more spaces, enclose the name in double or single quotation marks (for example, “my rewrite policy” or ‘my rewrite policy’). Minimum length = 1
    hits Read-only Number of hits.
    undefhits Read-only Number of Undef hits.
    description Read-only Description of the policy.
    isdefault Read-only A value of true is returned if it is a default rewritepolicy.
    builtin <String[]> Read-only Flag to determine if rewrite policy is built-in or not.

    Possible values = MODIFIABLE, DELETABLE, IMMUTABLE, PARTITION_ALL
    feature Read-only The feature to be checked while applying this config.
    __count Read-only count parameter

    Operations

    • ADD
    • DELETE
    • UPDATE
    • UNSET
    • GET (ALL)
    • GET
    • COUNT
    • RENAME

    Some options that you can use for each operations:

    • Getting warnings in response: NITRO allows you to get warnings in an operation by specifying the 'warning' query parameter as 'yes'. For example, to get warnings while connecting to the NetScaler appliance, the URL is as follows:

      http:// <netscaler-ip-address> /nitro/v1/config/login?warning=yes

      If any, the warnings are displayed in the response payload with the HTTP code '209 X-NITRO-WARNING'.

    • Authenticated access for individual NITRO operations: NITRO allows you to logon to the NetScaler appliance to perform individual operations. You can use this option instead of creating a NITRO session (using the login object) and then using that session to perform all operations,

      To do this, you must specify the username and password in the request header of the NITRO request as follows:

      X-NITRO-USER: <username>

      X-NITRO-PASS: <password>

      Note: In such cases, make sure that the request header DOES not include the following:

      Cookie:NITRO_AUTH_TOKEN= <tokenvalue>

    *Note: * Mandatory parameters are marked in red and placeholder content is marked in green
