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.

To change an RPC node password by using the GUI

Navigate to System > Network > RPC.
In the RPC pane, select the node and then click Edit.
In Configure RPC Node, type the new password.
In Source IP Address, type the existing node’s IP address to be used to communicate with the peer system node.
Select Secure and then click OK.

Note

When you enable the Secure option, 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

At the command line, type the following commands:

set ns rpcNode <IPAddress> {-password} [-secure ( YES | NO )]
show ns rpcNode

Example:

> set ns rpcNode 192.0.2.4 -password mypassword -secure YES
 Done
> show rpcNode
.

.
 IPAddress:  192.0.2.4 Password:  d336004164d4352ce39e
     SrcIP:  *           Secure:  ON
Done
