DESCRIPTION

Configuration for LB profile resource.

EXAMPLES

EXAMPLE 1

Invoke-NSAddLBProfile -LBProfileName 'example' -PassThru

EXAMPLE 2

Invoke-NSAddLBProfile -LBProfileName 'example' -WhatIf

PARAMETERS

-ComputedadcCookieAttribute

ComputedADCCookieAttribute accepts ns variable as input in form of string starting with $ (to understand how to configure ns variable, please check man add ns variable). policies can be configured to modify this variable for every transaction and the final value of the variable after policy evaluation will be appended as attribute to Citrix ADC cookie (for example: LB cookie persistence , GSLB sitepersistence, CS cookie persistence, LB group cookie persistence). Only one of ComputedADCCookieAttribute, LiteralADCCookieAttribute can be set. Sample usage - add ns variable lbvar -type TEXT(100) -scope Transaction add ns assignment lbassign -variable $lbvar -set "\\";SameSite=Strict\\"" add rewrite policy lbpol \<valid policy expression> lbassign bind rewrite global lbpol 100 next -type RES_OVERRIDE add lb profile lbprof -ComputedADCCookieAttribute "$lbvar" For incoming client request, if above policy evaluates TRUE, then SameSite=Strict will be appended to ADC generated cookie.

Type: String
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases:

Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

-CookiePassphrase

Use this parameter to specify the passphrase used to generate secured persistence cookie value. It specifies the passphrase with a maximum of 31 characters.

Type: String
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases:

Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

-DBSLB

Enable database specific load balancing for MySQL and MSSQL service types. Default value: DISABLED Possible values = ENABLED, DISABLED

Type: String
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases:

Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

-HTTPOnlyCookieFlag

Include the HttpOnly attribute in persistence cookies. The HttpOnly attribute limits the scope of a cookie to HTTP requests and helps mitigate the risk of cross-site scripting attacks. Default value: ENABLED Possible values = ENABLED, DISABLED

Type: String
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases:

Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

-LbHashAlgorithm

This option dictates the hashing algorithm used for hash based LB methods (URLHASH, DOMAINHASH, SOURCEIPHASH, DESTINATIONIPHASH, SRCIPDESTIPHASH, SRCIPSRCPORTHASH, TOKEN, USER_TOKEN, CALLIDHASH). Default value: DEFAULT Possible values = DEFAULT, PRAC, JARH

Type: String
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases:

Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

-LbHashFingers

This option is used to specify the number of fingers to be used in PRAC and JARH algorithms for hash based LB methods. Increasing the number of fingers might give better distribution of traffic at the expense of additional memory. Default value: 256 Minimum value = 1 Maximum value = 1024

Type: Int32
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases:

Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: 0

Name of the LB profile. Minimum length = 1

Type: String
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases:

Required: True
Position: 1
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

-LiteraladcCookieAttribute

String configured as LiteralADCCookieAttribute will be appended as attribute for Citrix ADC cookie (for example: LB cookie persistence , GSLB site persistence, CS cookie persistence, LB group cookie persistence). Sample usage - add lb profile lbprof -LiteralADCCookieAttribute ";SameSite=None".

Type: String
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases:

Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

-ProcessLocal

By turning on this option packets destined to a vserver in a cluster will not under go any steering.
