Name	Data Type	Permissions	Description
certkey		Read-write	Name for the certificate and private-key pair. Must begin with an ASCII alphanumeric or underscore (_) character, and must contain only ASCII alphanumeric, underscore, hash (#), period (.), space, colon (:), at (@), equals (=), and hyphen (-) characters. Cannot be changed after the certificate-key pair is created. 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 cert” or ‘my cert’). Minimum length = 1
cert		Read-write	Name of and, optionally, path to the X509 certificate file that is used to form the certificate-key pair. The certificate file should be present on the appliance’s hard-disk drive or solid-state drive. Storing a certificate in any location other than the default might cause inconsistency in a high availability setup. /nsconfig/ssl/ is the default path. Minimum length = 1
key		Read-write	Name of and, optionally, path to the private-key file that is used to form the certificate-key pair. The certificate file should be present on the appliance’s hard-disk drive or solid-state drive. Storing a certificate in any location other than the default might cause inconsistency in a high availability setup. /nsconfig/ssl/ is the default path. Minimum length = 1
password		Read-write	Passphrase that was used to encrypt the private-key. Use this option to load encrypted private-keys in PEM format.
fipskey		Read-write	Name of the FIPS key that was created inside the Hardware Security Module (HSM) of a FIPS appliance, or a key that was imported into the HSM. Minimum length = 1
hsmkey		Read-write	Name of the HSM key that was created in the External Hardware Security Module (HSM) of a FIPS appliance. Minimum length = 1
inform		Read-write	Input format of the certificate and the private-key files. The three formats supported by the appliance are PEM - Privacy Enhanced Mail DER - Distinguished Encoding Rule PFX - Personal Information Exchange. Default value: PEM Possible values = DER, PEM, PFX
passplain		Read-write	Pass phrase used to encrypt the private-key. Required when adding an encrypted private-key in PEM format. Minimum length = 1
expirymonitor		Read-write	Issue an alert when the certificate is about to expire. Possible values = ENABLED, DISABLED
notificationperiod		Read-write	Time, in number of days, before certificate expiration, at which to generate an alert that the certificate is about to expire. Minimum value = 10 Maximum value = 100
bundle		Read-write	Parse the certificate chain as a single file after linking the server certificate to its issuer’s certificate within the file. Default value: NO Possible values = YES, NO
deletefromdevice		Read-write	Delete cert/key file from file system.
linkcertkeyname		Read-write	Name of the Certificate Authority certificate-key pair to which to link a certificate-key pair. Minimum length = 1
nodomaincheck		Read-write	Override the check for matching domain names during a certificate update operation.
ocspstaplingcache		Read-write	Clear cached ocspStapling response in certkey.
signaturealg		Read-only	Signature algorithm.
certificatetype	<String[]>	Read-only	Specifies whether the certificate is of type root-CA, intermediate-CA, server, client, or client and server. Possible values = ROOT_CERT, INTM_CERT, CLNT_CERT, SRVR_CERT, UNKNOWN_CERT
serial		Read-only	Serial number.
issuer		Read-only	Issuer name.
clientcertnotbefore		Read-only	Not-Before date.
clientcertnotafter		Read-only	Not-After date.
daystoexpiration		Read-only	Days remaining for the certificate to expire.
subject		Read-only	Subject name.
publickey		Read-only	Public key algorithm.
publickeysize		Read-only	Size of the public key.
version		Read-only	Version.
priority		Read-only	ocsp priority.
status		Read-only	Status of the certificate. Possible values = Valid, Not yet valid, Expired
passcrypt		Read-only	Passcrypt. Minimum length = 1
data		Read-only	Vserver Id.
servicename		Read-only	Service name to which the certificate key pair is bound.
ocspresponsestatus		Read-only	Ocsp response status of the certificate. Possible values = NONE, EXPIRED, VALID
builtin	<String[]>	Read-only	Flag to determine if Cert key is built-in or not. Possible values = MODIFIABLE, DELETABLE, IMMUTABLE, PARTITION_ALL
feature		Read-only	The feature to be checked while applying this config.

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
