How to encrypt/encode LTM credentials via iControl

You could easily encode or encrypt them within your local file system but it will be up to your iControl application to take the encoded/encrypted values and decode/decrypt them before passing them on to the LTM. The authentication occurs with the HTTP connection on each iControl method call. The LTM needs to be able to authenticate each request so you'll have to pass them in a format that the webserver can understand. which means you'll have to work with some form of clear-text credentials on the client. Make sense?
