Name Data Type Permissions Description
fipskeyname <String> Read-write Name for the FIPS key. 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 FIPS key 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 fipskey" or 'my fipskey').
Minimum length = 1
keytype <String> Read-write Only RSA key and ECDSA Key are supported.
Default value: RSA
Possible values = RSA, ECDSA
exponent <String> Read-write Exponent value for the FIPS key to be created. Available values function as follows:
3=3 (hexadecimal)
F4=10001 (hexadecimal).
Default value: 3
Possible values = 3, F4
modulus <Integer> Read-write Modulus, in multiples of 64, of the FIPS key to be created.
Minimum value = 0
Maximum value = 4096
curve <String> Read-write Only p_256 (prime256v1) and P_384 (secp384r1) are supported.
Default value: P_256
Possible values = P_256, P_384
key <String> Read-write Name of and, optionally, path to the key file to be imported.
/nsconfig/ssl/ is the default path.
Minimum length = 1
inform <String> Read-write Input format of the key file. Available formats are:
SIM - Secure Information Management; select when importing a FIPS key. If the external FIPS key is encrypted, first decrypt it, and then import it.
PEM - Privacy Enhanced Mail; select when importing a non-FIPS key.
Default value: SIM
Possible values = SIM, DER, PEM
wrapkeyname <String> Read-write Name of the wrap key to use for importing the key. Required for importing a non-FIPS key.
Minimum length = 1
iv <String> Read-write Initialization Vector (IV) to use for importing the key. Required for importing a non-FIPS key.
Minimum length = 1
size <Integer> Read-only Size.
_nextgenapiresource <String> Read-only .
__count <Double> Read-only count parameter

Operations

  • CREATE
  • DELETE
  • GET (ALL)
  • GET
  • COUNT
  • IMPORT
  • EXPORT
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>
