authentication iRule

Another line of thinking I investigated was the fact that in my iRule vs the canned _sys_auth_radius iRule, I wrap the Auth::authenticate call in an if statement, but do the Auth:: start and other related commands no matter what. My line of thinking was that MAYBE by virtue of doing an Auth::start, I automatically ensure that the AUTH_RESULT event will be fired for this connection. However, if the if/else statement results in the Auth::Authenticate call never happening, then the tmm_auth_http_collect_count variable would never be created. However, I tried to fix this by wrapping the initialization of the auth call (i.e. auth::Start etc) within the if statement to no avail.
