Support Connector Profiles

[21buckets]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

AS3 to support the creation of Connector profiles, and the assignment of one to a virtual server. Connector profiles are found in the GUI under Local Traffic > Profiles > Other > Connector.

They are assigned to a virtual server via the Connector Profile setting under Advanced

Describe the solution you'd like

• An AS3 class for the connector profile, i.e. Profile_Connector that supports the four settings:

  • Entry Virtual Server
  • Connection Timeout
  • Service Down Action
  • Connect on Data

• Update to the various service classes to add a connector profile to the virtual server

Describe alternatives you've considered

Have used tmsh commands over iControl REST

Additional context

I believe Service Profiles https://github.com/F5Networks/f5-appsvcs-extension/issues/684 would also be required, as there is a dependency that requires a service profile be added to the Entry Virtual Server.

Enquiring as to the status of this request? We now have a fairly large use case where we need to create a service and connector profile then attached the connector profile to a VS that was created via an AS3 declaration.

@schwartzmeier please can you send me the TMSH commands or screen shot that you use to create these profiles. Thanks

@mdditt2000 We used this guide for an advanced use case of SSLO. https://community.f5.com/t5/technical-articles/ssl-orchestrator-advanced-use-cases-inbound-authentication/ta-p/286045

We need to be able to apply the "connector policy" to a virtual server (Local Traffic :: Profiles :: Other :: Connector) tmsh create ltm profile connector sslo-connector entry-virtual-server sslo-internal-vip

To add a little more info. This is the exact command to add the connector profile to a virtual server.

tmsh modify ltm virtual VS_NAME profiles add { CONNECTOR_PROFILE_NAME }
