Local Traffic Policies in an iApp

To assign a local traffic policy to a virtual server you have to disable strictness which we do not want to do. Has anyone created an iApp template that would give you the ability to select policies...

    I had to fiddle around with a copy of the iApp to get it working.

    I think you were missing a close curly bracket in your multichoice in the presentation section.

    I did this with the f5.http template, but it should be similar for any iApp (profiles assignment has to come first if your traffic policy requires any profiles added by the iApp):

    virtual server array in implementation
array set vs_arr {
        1,1 { [iapp::conf create ltm virtual ${app}_vs \
            destination [iapp::destination $::pool__addr $::pool__port_secure] \
            mask $mask \
            $vs_params \
            ip-protocol tcp \
            mirror $mirror_action \
            profiles replace-all-with \{ $vs_profiles \} \
            policies replace-all-with \{ $::policies__policies\}] \            
            \
            [iapp::conf create ltm virtual ${app}_redir_vs \
            destination [iapp::destination $::pool__addr [expr {[info exists \
            ::pool__redirect_port] ? $::pool__redirect_port : 80}]] \
            mask $mask \
            $redir_vs_params \
            ip-protocol tcp \
            mirror $mirror_action \
            profiles replace-all-with \{ $tcp_profiles http \} \
            rules \{ [iapp::substa redirect_irule($::pool__port_secure)] \}]}
        1,0 { [iapp::conf create ltm virtual ${app}_vs \
            destination [iapp::destination $::pool__addr $::pool__port_secure] \
            mask $mask \
            $vs_params \
            ip-protocol tcp \
            mirror $mirror_action \
            profiles replace-all-with \{ $vs_profiles \} \
            policies replace-all-with \{ $::policies__policies\}] \ }
        *   { [iapp::conf create ltm virtual ${app}_vs \
            destination [iapp::destination $::pool__addr $::pool__port] \
            mask $mask \
            $vs_params \
            ip-protocol tcp \
            mirror $mirror_action \
            profiles replace-all-with \{ $vs_profiles \} \
            policies replace-all-with \{ $::policies__policies\}] \ }
    }

    policies section in presentation
    section policies {
    multichoice policies
        tcl {
        set objs [tmsh::get_config ltm policy]
        foreach obj $objs {
            append results [tmsh::get_name $obj]
            append results "\n"
        }
        return $results
    }
}

Ed, for some reason your last post here got lost, although I did get it in my email.

I think this might work:

array set vs_arr {
        1,1 { [iapp::conf create ltm virtual ${app}_vs \
            destination [iapp::destination $::pool__addr $::pool__port_secure] \
            mask $mask \
            $vs_params \
            ip-protocol tcp \
            mirror $mirror_action \
            policies replace-all-with \{ $::policies__policies\}] \
            profiles replace-all-with \{ $vs_profiles \}] \
            \
            [iapp::conf create ltm virtual ${app}_redir_vs \
            destination [iapp::destination $::pool__addr [expr {[info exists \
            ::pool__redirect_port] ? $::pool__redirect_port : 80}]] \
            mask $mask \
            $redir_vs_params \
            ip-protocol tcp \
            mirror $mirror_action \
            profiles replace-all-with \{ $redir_vs_profiles \} \
            rules \{ [iapp::substa redirect_irule($::pool__port_secure)] \}]}
        1,0 { [iapp::conf create ltm virtual ${app}_vs \
            destination [iapp::destination $::pool__addr $::pool__port_secure] \
            mask $mask \
            $vs_params \
            ip-protocol tcp \
            mirror $mirror_action \
            policies replace-all-with \{ $::policies__policies\}] \
            profiles replace-all-with \{ $vs_profiles \}] }
        *   { [iapp::conf create ltm virtual ${app}_vs \
            destination [iapp::destination $::pool__addr $::pool__port] \
            mask $mask \
            $vs_params \
            ip-protocol tcp \
            mirror $mirror_action \
            policies replace-all-with \{ $::policies__policies\}] \
            profiles replace-all-with \{ $vs_profiles \}] }
    }

I tried replacing this array set with the one in the HTTP profile. I got a couple different errors. First, 01070309:3: Cookie persistence requires an HTTP or FastHTTP profile to be associated with the virtual server If I turn off persistence i get another error. I selected a http profile also. 010716d9:3: Virtual server /Common/Test.app/Test2_vs requires a profile of type http for ltm policy /Common/ed_test.
