ADC

Change an RPC node password

To communicate with other Citrix ADC appliances, each appliance requires knowledge of the other appliances, including how to authenticate on Citrix ADC appliance. RPC nodes are internal system entities used for system-to-system communication of configuration and session information. One RPC node exists on each Citrix ADC appliance and stores information, such as the IP addresses of the other Citrix ADC appliance and the passwords used for authentication. The Citrix ADC appliance that contacts the other Citrix ADC appliance checks the password within the RPC node.

  1. Navigate toSystem>Network>RPC.
  2. In theRPCpane, select the node and then clickEdit.

  5. SelectSecureand then clickOK.

    Note

    When you enable theSecureoption, the appliance encrypts all communication sent from the node to other RPC nodes thus securing the RPC communication.

To change an RPC node password by using the CLI
