What I meant with transfer is uploading the binary from CentOS VM to your 6900 bigip.

 

 

The first step is compiling the module in a custom directory (/somewhere) on a VM (CentOS). You need to setup a new CentOS VM.

 

 

Next, copy the binary to your 6900 (e.g. tar cf - /somewhere | ssh root@<6900's ip address> "tar xf -")

 

 

The steps are very high level instructions and don't come with the real commands, you need to convert it to your environment (e.g. change /somewhere).

 

 

I personally don't recommend this way as this is not tested by F5. I would recommend the 'easier' way by exploring URI::ldap as per hamish's advice.
