Event Notification Samples in Java

I want to create a listener in Java which should listen to node enable/disable events in F5.     I looked at the article http://devcentral.f5.com/Default.aspx?tabid=29&newsType=ArticleView&artic...

So our experience is that we have sucessfully created our subscriptions and receive them as expected. We have a separate script that creates the subscription so we don't need to give our iControl user any elevated privs. However, it seems that when our listener is down the subscription is disabled.

 

 

We thought that a user with Operator privs would be able to enable this subscription. We get an error:

 

 

SOAP-ENV:Server User "foo" is not authorized to access "urn:iControl:Management/EventSubscription::set_state".

 

 

The "foo" user has "Operator" privs.

 

 

Is there anyway to get around this? We do not want to give administrative rights to an automaton. We are hoping that the "Operator" privs will allow us to set the enable/disable state of the event subscription.

 

 

Any thoughts or clues would be most appreciated!
