Monitoring Big-IP using SCOM 2012

In an effort to bring F5 devices under SCOM 2012 infrastructure, we installed the f5 managemnent pack in our SCOM server. While trying to discover the F5 BIG-IP device, the below error occurs. I tried with admin & root credentials with Management & self IP but still the issue persists. Any help to resolve this issue will be highly appreciated?

Execute device discovery:Failure
                Failure Message: F5Networks.Protocols.iControl.iControlException: The remote server returned an error: (407) Proxy Authentication Required.

  • which management pack? the F5 one was discontinued i believe, so it might not work on 2012.
