more pyControl questions

Ok I think I am close, but still can't get this to work.

 

 

Here is what I have that doesn't work. I was able to export a key, so I know the "mode = 0" and "['testKey']" portions work.

 

 

 

b.Management_KeyCertificate.key_import_from_file(

 

mode = 0,

 

key_ids = ['testKey'],

 

file_names = ['c:\\Cert\\test.key'])

 

 

 

 

I also tried some thing like this, with no luck.

 

 

 

mycert = open('c:\\Cert\\test.key')

 

b.Management_KeyCertificate.key_import_from_file(

 

mode = 0,

 

key_ids = ['testKey'],

 

file_names = [mycert.read()])

 

Here's an example of some code that works syntax wise:

 

 
 In [20]: b.Management_KeyCertificate.key_import_from_file(mode = 'MANAGEMENT_MODE_DEFAULT', key_ids = ['testKey.key'], file_names = ['/config/ssl/ssl.key/testKey.key'], overwrite = 1) 
 

 

Notice that the file is located on the LTM, as opposed to the local filesystem. Have a look at some of the import calls that will allow you to do this.

 

 

HTH,

Ah ok. Well that makes sence then that it wouldn't work the way I was trying it. I liked this way better because it had built in overwrite control, but at least I know I wasn't going crazy! Thanks for the responce.

Ok Matt I think I can probably get this with one last question.

 

 

I started looking at System_ConfigSync.upload_file and it seems like exactly what I need, but I can't figure out for the life of me how to pass the file_context paramaters. I think this is just a case of me being so new to python, but any help you can give me would be really appreciated. I think I need to define an object that has the opened file in it and the chunking info etc in it but I am not sure.

 

 

c = open("c:\\Cert\\test.crt")

 

>>> mycert = c.read()

 

 

b.System_ConfigSync.upload_file(

 

file_name = ['/config/ssl/ssl.key/test.crt'],

 

file_context = ????? )

Thanks so much for all of you help and the general info on how to figure it out should be helpful.
