Nimbostratusbuilding an Access Policy (portal application) with iApp
I have a complex Access Policy (which I could reduce with the usage of Macros and iRule events) associated with irules/datagroups that are not directly bound to the Access Policy VS. I was thinking of creating an iApp to build/extend the Access Policy based on X time 3-5 parameters. That would publish variables in the different datagroups and build the Access Policy by assembling the macros. The macros and irules are statically defined and won't change. The Access Policy deals with a lot of parallel Portal Access resources and a couple of Authentication Methods (statically defined in the macros). Any example of iApp dealing with Access Policy (portal application)?

Possible but not easy. APM was meant to be configured via the Visual Policy Editor rather than TMSH. Since iApps perform their work via TMSH, building APM access policies can be tricky. However, the latest Citrix VDI (https://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/iApp.Citrix-VDI-v1-1-0.ashx) and VMware View (https://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/iApp.VMware-View-iApp-v1-0-0.ashx) iApps both implement access policies using a common tool called apm_config, documented at https://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/iApp.iApp-Utility-Package.ashx.
