How to encrypt/encode LTM credentials via iControl

Hi Aaron,

 

 

Thanks for a speedy reply. Here's the scoop: we have java classes to manipulate LTM via iControl (add pool, add member, add v server, etc), which are being invoked form the command-line, thus passing all connection info as clear text (classname ltm_hostname username passwd action params). I want to encode/encrypt credentials, store them on the file system, and pass them along to ltm host, instead of a user/process providing them each time in a readable format. I know I could prob use base64 encoding, or some encryption mechanism, but was wondering if iControl had smth to suit the need.

 

 

Does that make sense?

 

 

Thank you, Roman
