Nimbostratus4.6.2 ldap monitor question
We recently upgraded our lab F5 to 4.6.2. When creating monitors, we
noticed it is now possible to enable 'security' on the monitor
for LDAP monitors. The options are 'ssl', 'tls' and 'none'.
When looking at the bigip.config file looks like so:
monitor ldapsSecSED {
type ldap
use "ldap"
interval 10
timeout 31
dest *:*
username ""
password ""
base "dc=com"
filter "(&(objectclass=domain)(dc=whoohoo))"
security "ssl"
}
I don't see any way to modify this setting from iControl. How is
this done?
Thanks.
- Unfortunately, 4.6.2 iControl SDK has not been enhanced to support this new feature. I'll enter an enhancement request for this in the next release. (CR 42533)
For what it's worth, in iControl SDK 9.0, this feature is already fully supported.

Michel_van_der_That is _very_ unfortunate. Not sure I understand why these two seem
to be so disconnected at times.
We need 4.6.2 specifically to deal with this, but now we can't
configure the systems with iControl (which is how we do _all_ of
our configuration management). That leaves us in a most uncomfortable
position.
What's the best way to raise this?
Michel- 4.x and 9.x are different product teams and with different development schedules. This looks to be a feature that slipped through the cracks for iControl support. I will work with the 4.x team to see if this can get prioritized into 4.6.3.
-Joe - Michel_van_der_:D Not sure that answered my observation regarding being disconnected,
but I understand how sometimes things slip through the cracks.
I would very much like to have this ASAP. Thanks for any help you can provide.
Michel
