OTP SMS with API (SMS Gateway)

Hello, I'd like to do OTP SMS via an HTTP API I'm reading this link but is it still up to date (February,2011) ? the VPE is still OK or maybe they are news things..   Should I still need the iR...

    Hi cd,

     

    I'm using a hardware device SMSEagle as my SMS gateway with APM.

     

    As Neils rightly said above, there is no need to use an iRule.

     

    I'm using these VPE agents in this particular sequence:

     

    OTP Generate

    HTTP Auth (to send the OTP as SMS)

    Logon Page (to collect the OTP)

    OTP Verify

     

    Please refer to attached screenshots.

     

    I hope it helps.

It looks like your F5 might be blocked by a firewall or router when trying to reach the SMS GW? Also check from which interface the calls are being sourced when APM initiates the connection.
