Modify SSL profiles via REST API

Hi wiz's I have been spending some time on automating certificate maintenance. This has brought my attention to this documentation: https://clouddocs.f5.com/api/icontrol-rest/APIRef_tm_ltm_profil...

    Hi lnxgeek that's correct, you can't PATCH a collection, just the resources within that collection. From that doc, the methods support are shown one the resource, not the collection:

    Resource URI
/mgmt/tm/ltm/profile/client-ssl/~resource id
Resource Methods
OPTIONS, GET, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, POST

    Let me know if I'm misunderstanding the issue. Also, check your DM, I sent you something that might be of interest to you, but I'm equally interested in your test feedback if you have the time to check it out.

Hi JRahm 

In that context it make sense.

But does that mean that my working example (don't know what to call it 😀) shouldn't be considered deprecated?

I don't want to work down a future dead end 😆

    What version of TMOS are you running? If you've tested on 17.1.x and it's working, it will go away on BIG-IP. That said, the APIs for BIG-IP Next are different and will connect to Central Manager, not the Next instances directly.

      It is 17.1 I'm using.

      I guess I have to get started with NEXT in my lab to be ready for the new shiny tool 😆

        For sure! Labbing it up myself for the last couple of weeks.
