Code snippet for iControl API on upload_policy()

I haven't seen any perl wrt ASM, but we have some python test code you can take a look at in our sdk that might point you in the right direction.

Thanks for your answer Jason. Unfortunately, my version is 11.6.0 and was looking for a SOAP call related snippet.

Thanks.

ah yes, drove the train right through that SOAP intersection... :)

 

I think the ASM file transfer contexts works similar to the standard context, but I'll reach out to see if I can get you a definitive answer. This might help get you started while I ask around.

 

Thanks for the link Jason. I can now upload the policy file to the /var/tmp/ directory. However, while trying to import_policy to the iApp its failing and showing the following error message:

Exception: Common::OperationFailed
primary_error_code   : 0 (0x00000000)
secondary_error_code : 0
error_string         : Import policy failed. Messages: [fatal] Cannot read exported security policy file. [fatal] Cannot read from input file.]

BigIP version: 11.6.0 HF6

Appreciate your further input on this.

usually there are two steps when uploading objects: upload to the system, then import to the configuration. I think that second step needs to happen before you can reference from the iApp, but I don't know the methods you are using so can't be sure.

Thanks Jason.

Have done the upload correctly and actually can see the file uploaded there as well. The issue is only when running the SOAP import_policy().

policy name is /TEST01/test.com.app/test.com_policy

remote file name at F5 /var/tmp/ is test.com_policy

The part of the code is:

    $check_resp->($f5_iface->import_policy(SOAP::Data->name(webapp_name => $policyname),
                                        SOAP::Data->name(filename =>                              
                                        $remote_file_location_name)));

Have changed webapp_name to /TEST01/test.com.app. However, still the same error message. Any reference or sample code available on import_policy()?

Cheers.

Best regards Hyder

This is SOAP trace I can see at F5:

    
        /TEST01/test.com.app/test.com
        /shared/tmp/test.com_policy
    

Anything missing?

Best regards

Hyder
