f5.bigip ManagementRoot logout feature #1531

Open delhipnr opened 5 years ago

delhipnr commented 5 years ago

i did take multiple captures and analysis on the device from user access point of view. do i really need to logout after each run with scripts through f5 sdk?

let say i put it idle, what would be the harm?

I'm not sure what you are trying to say, can you clarify what the issue is, and what you are hoping for as a fix action?

Sesn = ManagementRoot (ip, uid, pwd)

Above is to login, do we also hv something like Sesn.logout() def ?

There isn't a logout function with the rest interface. When you authenticate, you should get a token and that token has an expiration timer (configurable). You could create your own logout function by updating the expiration of your token when your calls are complete, effectively logging out.
