Error while establishing device trust

Joe:

 

From what I'm seeing in the debugs, it definitely appears to be the add_authority_device call. My response checking subroutine exits if there's an error, and the debugs confirm that it's the only call that's been made.

 

 

I haven't done it in the GUI, though I have successfully done it via TMSH utilizing the "tmsh modify cm trust-domain Root ca-devices add { 10.255.255.3 } username admin password XXXXXXXX name XXXXXXXX" command. It works like a charm and establishes trust between the two devices, creates the other device, and adds it to the device_trust_group device-group all in one command. At that point, I issue a second TMSH command to create the sg-sf sync-failover group and add the devices to it. In the GUI, it appears to follow the same process: Device Trust>Peer List>Add. Provide IP, admin user name, and admin password, then click retrieve device info.

 

 

Are you saying that there are calls that I need to make prior to making the add_authority_device call? If so, could you please elaborate? This is the last piece of a rapid deployment framework that I've written for v10/11 new customer deployments (Managed Services Provider) and I'd much rather use iControl to establish trust rather than script it out in expect.

 

 

I really appreciate you taking the time to respond and help me figure out what's going on.
