Assign ASM policy to VS via iControl/REST

Hello,

I think that before v12.0.0, it's not easy to attach an existing ASM profile to a VS. But you can try using the following icontrol urls :

First create an ltm policy with a POST to

/mgmt/tm/ltm/policy

Then you will need to add conditions and actions in your policy. Here the url to add an action which will tell the policy to use an existing asm profile :

/mgmt/tm/ltm/policy/my_policy_name/rules/default/actions

And finally, you need to assign the ltm policy to your VS by using the following url

/mgmt/tm/ltm/virtual/vs-auction/policies

I don't find any other easier way to achieve your need

Hello, you can drastically simplify that by just specifying the VS array list in the ASM policy property virtualServers. This will automatically create the ltm policy attaching the ASM policy to the virtual server.

So as an example, if i want to attach an existing policy to an existing vs called vs_http i would just have to do :

PATCH /mgmt/tm/asm/policies/TUFO8Y208Zm1hvmqnCuuqw/

{"virtualServers" : ["/Common/vs_http"]}
