Testing for iControl auth errors

Hi folks,

one of my clients noticed API auth errors after upgrading the systems to TMOS v15.1.5.1.
When trying to use a newly created auth token to access LTM objects via API the systems returns a 401.
After retrying with the same token the access is successful most times.
As a workaround a latency was applied in his management framework.
The issue can be observed in all possible combinations under TMOS v151.1.5.1:
- using admin or specific user
- using local and remote authentication/authorization
- using mgmt interface and inband management
Even you might run the script on the F5 itself, I would recommend running it not on the device under test.
The script can be configured to use specific accounts, out of band or inband management and for a number of test cycles.
A latency (delay) can be configured to determine the safe amount of time between token generation and token usage.
In each test cycle a new token is created and the token is deleted afterwards as the number of active tokens is limited.
The script stops after a failed second attempt with the same token or after reaching the configured number of test cycles.

  • Hi, on behalf of my client I opened a service request with the F5 support.

    The engineer was able to reproduce the issue based on the script provided.

    The Bug ID 1108181: "iControl REST call with token fails with 401 Unauthorized" was confirmed and an Engineering Hotfix for TMOS v15.1.5.1 (Hotfix-BIGIP-15.1.5.1.0.230.14-ENG.iso) was provided. I can confirm, the hotfix solves the issue.

    I can also confirm, that TMOS v16.1.3 is not affected.

    In case you are facing sporadic issues with the F5 Ansible modules after upgrading to TMOS v15.1.5.1, it might be worth to try the script and to open a service request with F5 support.

    Thanks again to Leslie_Hubertus

  • One of my colleagues in PS (who mainly works on Rakuten stuff) said, 

    "If the problem is related to REST API then the workaround is to add more memory to restjavad process:

    tmsh modify sys db provision.extramb value 2000
    tmsh modify sys db provision.restjavad.extramb value 1984
    tmsh modify sys db restjavad.useextramb value true

    tmsh save sys config

    bigstart restart restjavad

    bigstart restart restnoded"

    They think that “provision.restjavad.extramb” was added in 15.1.3.something.

    Here's the K30042148: Restjavad memory provisioning threshold limit article.

      Hi Leslie_Hubertus

      thanks for your reply. I have tried it, but it doesn´t work. 

      The following command isn´t available on my device under test (TMOS v15.1.5.1): 

      tmsh modify sys db provision.restjavad.extramb value 1984

      Btw, I also tried to provision MGMT with more resources. No luck. 

      Last week I opened a service request with F5 support. As soon as a solution is provided, I will post it here. 

      Best regards, Stephan 😊

We have a set of servers each one running an instance of an application that provides both Web UI and rest web service access.\nWeb services are called in a bulk fashion, are meant for corporate users, allowing them to send one to a thousand requests per service call, while Web UI is meant for both corporate and home users storing requests one by one.

 

\n

Request body of rest web services are simply a JSON string representing an array of request objects.\nI want to parse the request body, e.g. using a regex, etc., and count the number of requests in each service call and provide the request count as the request weight to load balancer, so that I can balance the work load based on each service call's internal request count.

 

\n

Considering that the single request size in JSON differs from 1KB to aroud 32KB; request body size cannot be used as a replacement for counting the actual request objects inside the request body array.

 

\n

As the total external web service bandwidth is around 6Mbps, there is not much data to traverse and search; however, I have two main problems:\n1. Do you think custom scripting is the best solution for the mentioned problem or you think there is a more efficient solution to it?

 

\n
  1. Assuming that the same device is going to fulfill the entire application delivery requirements, eg. SSL offloading, Application Firewalling, Connection Persistence, etc., which series of Big-IP hardware do you suggest to buy, based on your proposed solution to the above problem? More specifically 7000 or 10000 or maybe another series of products? It needs to be mentioned that the total UI bandwidth is not going to be over 300Mbps

","body@stringLength":"1772","rawBody":"

We have a set of servers each one running an instance of an application that provides both Web UI and rest web service access.\nWeb services are called in a bulk fashion, are meant for corporate users, allowing them to send one to a thousand requests per service call, while Web UI is meant for both corporate and home users storing requests one by one.

 

\n

Request body of rest web services are simply a JSON string representing an array of request objects.\nI want to parse the request body, e.g. using a regex, etc., and count the number of requests in each service call and provide the request count as the request weight to load balancer, so that I can balance the work load based on each service call's internal request count.

 

\n

Considering that the single request size in JSON differs from 1KB to aroud 32KB; request body size cannot be used as a replacement for counting the actual request objects inside the request body array.

 

\n

As the total external web service bandwidth is around 6Mbps, there is not much data to traverse and search; however, I have two main problems:\n1. Do you think custom scripting is the best solution for the mentioned problem or you think there is a more efficient solution to it?

Woah, quite many questions there.

 

\n

For the balancing based on JSON data, I'm pretty sure only an iRule will do. You will need to collect the request payload using HTTP::collect function because JSON data is not exposed in a header. It will be quite a complicated solution, but it's doable. Only keep in mind that to manage such complex implementations, your company will always require an advanced engineer with sufficient experience in iRules (very difficult to find). A traditional IP routing expert (even if 4x CCIE) will not be good enough. The main thing to ask yourself is if the gains are really worth it. Perhaps a standard balancing based on load observation (Observed Method) is a viable and non-complex alternative.

 

\n

In regards to appliance recommendation, I'm not qualified to give the best answer, but considering the numbers seen, I figure that 5250v is the maximum you should consider going for at this point. It gives you a plenty of capacity for future scaling (more than 10x the current needs). 7000 Series doesn't have much added value, and 10000 series is a clear overkill. 5250v Is also one of my favorite bargains (hardware power to USD ratio). It has vCMP support which gives you the flexibility to build smaller isolated virtual appliances inside the same hardware for QA and testing environments.
