PARAMETERS

-Bundle

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

Type: String
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases:

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

-Cert

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

Type: String
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases:

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

-CertKey

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

Type: String
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases:

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

-DeleteCertKeyFilesOnRemoval

This option is used to automatically delete certificate/key files from physical device when the added certkey is removed. When deleteCertKeyFilesOnRemoval option is used at rm certkey command, it overwrites the deleteCertKeyFilesOnRemoval setting used at add/set certkey command. Default value: CERTKEYFILE_DELETE_NO Possible values = NO, ALWAYS, IF_EXPIRED

Type: String
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases:

Required: False

Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: None
