pycontrol to set certificate/key for ssl profile

yes exactly. And since you cant set these 2 values at the same time, there is no way around it. It is only a mismatch because in the call you are trying to set one of those values without setting the other. No matter what a profile you create will have these values inherited or set from somewhere. I think a better solution would be to have a create_profile method that could set the cert,key, and pass-phrase at same time. It is not possible to create a profile and let it inherit the defaults and then go back and change the cert/key pair as they are separate calls. This is not an issue with pycontrol but an issue with icontrol itself.

 

 

I have even created a ticket with F5 on this as I have support on many of my F5's. I did not read the fine print though as icontrol is not supported as I am told... That is frustrating and hence why I use the workarounds that I stated in the beginning.
