I assume you've entered at username and password at the CLI and the IP you've specified is the management interface of the F5?

If you are getting a 401 error, that means the credentials are not being sent correctly in the Authentication header. Can you modify the script to print out the values of $User and $Pass before they are applied to the SOAP::Lite get_basic_credentials() method near the top of the script? They should print out what you passed in on the command line.

Thanks. I don't know what I did but now it is authenticating. Would it make any difference if the login had to go to a radius server?

Could be. If the auth fails, the 401 will be returned regardless of whether it is local or remote authentication. Glad it's working now...

Joe...thought I'd take my chances that you'll see this and I can get another question in... I know the F5 does dynamic load balancing based on SNMP, etc. However, do you of any way from the F5 to query JMX on a Tomcat server to get info and make a decision.

You can definitely create custom monitors on the BIG-IP. You'll have to write the code yourself and be able to understand the communication between your monitor and the Tomcat server. Check out the BIG-IP admin guide and look for custom monitors.
