f5poolmgr pool management webapp

http://f5poolmgr.sourceforge.net/

 

 

f5poolmgr is a web application (using the Perl CGI::Application framework) allowing non-administrative access to pool member operations on a F5/BigIP LTM load balancer.

 

 

The scope for this project is probably fairly limited, but I was tasked with figuring out a way to allow users access to [a limited number of] pool operations (enabling/disabling sessions, taking pool members up/down, etc), and this is what I came up with. It's my first foray with iControl.

 

 

Hopefully it'll be useful to someone else as well.

    Very nice! It's great that you've GPL'd this iControl application. You might consider adding a post to the iControl forum and/or a link in the iControl Codeshare to the SourceForge project page.

    Thanks. I tried posting it to the Codeshare, but it barfed at (I think) a gzip file submission... ack.

    Does anyone know if this web app works with the current version of LTM? I have tried to set this up with ltm 10.2.1 but I'm having the following error pop up:

     

     

    Error executing run mode 'displayPool': 401 F5 Authorization Required at lib/f5poolmgr.pm line 313

     

    at /var/www/html/f5poolmgr/index.cgi line 28

     

     

    I'm just wondering if the code is out of date or if its just a configuration problem on my part. This is was tested against a windows AD system.

     

     

    Configuration: (f5poolmgr.cfg)

     

    $username: "username"

     

    $password: "password"

     

    $server: "5.5.3.4"

     

     

    LDAP configuraiton

     

    $ldap.server: "ldap://dc.domain.local"

     

     

    $ldap.base.people: "ou=users,dc=domain,dc=local"

     

     

    $ldap.base.group: "ou=Groups,dc=domain,dc=local"

     

     

    Audit logging

     

    $audit.log: "/var/log/f5poolmgr.log"

     

     

    Pool access definitions

     

    @pools.Domain Users: "*"

     

     

     

    Any help is appreciated.
