Disabling SSL Orchestrator on LAB-VE License

Hi,

 

Is there any way to disable SSL-Orchestrator when you have the SSL Orchestrator licensed, in this case on a LAB-VE license on 13.1.1?

 

For starters, it's an additional item in the menu that I don't need, or want as the landing page on the GUI for this particular client deployment. Secondly, I'm thinking that the fact that the iApp menu item is not visible (this is actually my root issue) is somehow related since SSL Orchestrator itself is an iApp under the hood (or is it ILX these days?).

 

Thanks in advance.

    I found your question as I was looking for a solution to a similar problem. Now that I have more information, let me share with you.

    If you have these lines in your license, you will have the SSLO menu:

    sslo_add :                    enabled
mod_ssli :                    enabled

    In 13.0.0 and 13.1.0, it will remove other menus.

    The problem I had was with a partner license (temporary licenses), so I am talking with F5 in relation to that. Assuming your license is the normal license, for customers and not temporary, this means the problem is not only with temporary license but general.

    In my case, the workaround was to get another type of license that is not a LAB. The VE LAB license does not have an option to SSLO, while other licenses have the option to activate or not SSLO. The problem in my case is that all lab licenses I generate come with SSLO active.

    I will update you when I have more information.

    I think it's actually bug ID: 740969.
