Connection

Required: Yes — the node will not save without one
Auth type: Custom
Providers: NetScaler ADC
Secret shape: {"username": "…", "password": "…"} — or {"sessionid": "…"}
Config it needs: base_url
Resolved by: config.connection_id, else node.connection_id

Configuration

4 fields, 3 required. A dotted path is a nested object and name[] an array of objects — the editor renders the same tree.

Field	Type	Required	Default	Constraints	Example
filename The file's name on its own; NetScaler refuses a name that carries a path.	string	Yes	—	—	wildcard-acme-2026.crt
filecontent The file's bytes, already Base64-encoded; NetScaler accepts nothing else.	string	Yes	—	—	LS0tLS1CRUdJTiBDRVJUSUZJQ0FURS0tLS0tCg==
filelocation The directory on the appliance the file lives in, such as /nsconfig/ssl.	string	Yes	—	—	/nsconfig/ssl
fileencoding How filecontent is encoded; BASE64 is the only value NetScaler documents.	string	No	BASE64	—	—

Example configuration

Every value below is the contract’s own example or default — nothing invented.

{
  "filecontent": "LS0tLS1CRUdJTiBDRVJUSUZJQ0FURS0tLS0tCg==",
  "fileencoding": "BASE64",
  "filelocation": "/nsconfig/ssl",
  "filename": "wildcard-acme-2026.crt"
}

One shape.

In a technical demo we add the NetScaler ADC connection, drop the node on the canvas and let Workflow Health pre-flight it before the first real run.
