Sessions

Use Connect-NSNode to create a NetScaler API session.

For HA pairs, point -ManagementURL at the node you normally manage, for example ns-01.domain.local. Use ns-02.domain.local when you intentionally want to connect to the other node.

$credential = [pscredential]::new(
    'nsroot',
    (ConvertTo-SecureString 'Sup3rS3cretP@ssw0rd' -AsPlainText -Force)
)

$connectParams = @{
    ManagementURL        = 'https://ns-01.domain.local'
    Credential           = $credential
    HA                   = $true
    PassThru             = $true
    SkipCertificateCheck = $true
}

$session = Connect-NSNode @connectParams

Pass the session to generated commands:

Invoke-NSGetSSLCertKey -Session $session -CertKey 'portal.example.com'

Clear or disconnect sessions when finished:

Disconnect-NSNode -Session $session
Clear-NSSession
