Name	Permissions	Description
keyfile	Read-write	Name for and, optionally, path to the DSA key file. /nsconfig/ssl/ is the default path. Maximum length = 63
bits	Read-write	Size, in bits, of the DSA key. Minimum value = 512 Maximum value = 2048
keyform	Read-write	Format in which the DSA key file is stored on the appliance. Default value: PEM Possible values = DER, PEM
des	Read-write	Encrypt the generated DSA key by using the DES algorithm. On the command line, you are prompted to enter the pass phrase (password) that will be used to encrypt the key.
des3	Read-write	Encrypt the generated DSA key by using the Triple-DES algorithm. On the command line, you are prompted to enter the pass phrase (password) that will be used to encrypt the key.
aes256	Read-write	Encrypt the generated DSA key by using the AES algorithm.
password	Read-write	Pass phrase to use for encryption if DES or DES3 option is selected. Minimum length = 1 Maximum length = 31
pkcs8	Read-write	Create the private key in PKCS#8 format.

CREATE

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
