# NetScaler Connection

> Learn how to configure a NetScaler Connection for Infisical.

Infisical supports connecting to Citrix NetScaler (ADC) appliances using basic authentication credentials for managing SSL certificates via the NITRO REST API.

## Setup

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Infisical UI">
    <Steps>
      <Step title="Gather NetScaler Credentials">
        You will need the following from your NetScaler appliance:

        * **Hostname**: The management IP address or FQDN of your NetScaler appliance (e.g., `192.168.1.100` or `netscaler.example.com`).
        * **Port**: The HTTPS management port (default: `443`).
        * **Username**: A user with administrative access to manage SSL certificates (e.g., `nsroot`).
        * **Password**: The password for the user account.

        <Note>
          The user account must have permissions to:

          * Upload files to `/nsconfig/ssl/`
          * Create and manage `sslcertkey` objects
          * Bind certificates to SSL virtual servers (if vServer binding is used)
          * Save the running configuration
        </Note>
      </Step>

      <Step title="Navigate to App Connections">
        In the Infisical dashboard, navigate to **Organization Settings** > **App Connections** and click **Add Connection**.

      </Step>

      <Step title="Select NetScaler">
        Select the **NetScaler** option from the list of available connections.

      </Step>

      <Step title="Fill in Connection Details">
        Fill in the **Configuration** tab:

        * **Hostname**: The management IP or FQDN of the NetScaler appliance.
        * **Username**: The NetScaler management username.
        * **Password**: The password for the management user.
        * **Port** (Optional): HTTPS port for the management interface (default: `443`).

        Configure the **SSL** tab:

        * **SSL Certificate** (Optional): A CA certificate in PEM format to verify the NetScaler management interface's TLS certificate.
        * **Reject Unauthorized**: When enabled, Infisical will only connect if the NetScaler has a valid, trusted TLS certificate. Disable for self-signed certificates or provide a CA certificate.

        Optionally select a **Gateway** to route the connection through an Infisical Gateway for private network access.

        Click **Connect to NetScaler** to validate and save your connection.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Connection Created">
        Your NetScaler Connection is now available for use with certificate syncs.

      </Step>
    </Steps>
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="API">
    To create a NetScaler Connection, make an API request to the [Create App Connection](/api-reference/endpoints/app-connections/netscaler/create) endpoint.

    ### Sample request

    ```bash Request theme={"dark"}
    curl --request POST \
      --url https://app.infisical.com/api/v1/app-connections/netscaler \
      --header 'Authorization: Bearer <access-token>' \
      --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
      --data '{
        "name": "my-netscaler-connection",
        "method": "basic-auth",
        "credentials": {
          "hostname": "netscaler.example.com",
          "port": 443,
          "username": "nsroot",
          "password": "your-password",
          "sslRejectUnauthorized": false
        }
      }'
    ```

    ### Sample response

    ```json Response theme={"dark"}
    {
      "appConnection": {
        "id": "3c90c3cc-0d44-4b50-8888-8dd25736052a",
        "name": "my-netscaler-connection",
        "app": "netscaler",
        "method": "basic-auth",
        "credentials": {
          "hostname": "netscaler.example.com",
          "port": 443,
          "username": "nsroot",
          "sslRejectUnauthorized": false
        }
      }
    }
    ```
