Keeping existing session but prevent new connections to node in pool

You can certainly do this with an iControl application. I'm a bit unclear as to your requirements about not needing admin permissions or needing to log into the F5 unit.

 

 

It sounds to me like you are asking for a way to modify the configuration without proper access which obviously we don't support for security reasons. Otherwise anyone out there could muck with anyone elses configuration. Maybe I'm missing something from your requirements.

 

 

If you create a script remotely, then you will need to have operator level access to be able to modify the configuration. The iControl interfaces follow the same authorization model as the GUI. If you want to create a script locally, you can do so but you will still need to log into the device to be able to execute it.
