I have been trying to get this right but am missing something. The function will set the options check box but does not set the value? I had simialr issue with another function so I know it is because...

Andy: I think you want to create the profile SSL option, then stuff it into a list object to create your 'sequence': 


In [18]: opts = ssl.typefactory.create('LocalLB.ProfileSSLOption')

In [19]: opts
Out[19]:
(LocalLB.ProfileSSLOption){
   values =
      (LocalLB.SSLOptionSequence){
         _arrayType = ""
         _offset = ""
         _id = ""
         _href = ""
         _arrayType = ""
      }
   default_flag = None
 }

So something like this will work: 


opts = ssl.typefactory.create('LocalLB.ProfileSSLOption')
option_list = ssl.typefactory.create('LocalLB.SSLOption')  This step is optional, but I wanted to show you that there's a type for the SSL option objects. It's simply an enum.
opts.values = [option_list.SSL_OPTION_EPHEMERAL_RSA] Note that I wrap this up in a list, as specified in the SDK (had to look this up)
ssl.set_ssl_option(['via-pycontrol'], options = [opts])

 Now, confirm it all:
 ssl.get_ssl_option(['via-pycontrol'])
Out[39]:
[(LocalLB.ProfileSSLOption){
   values[] =
      "SSL_OPTION_EPHEMERAL_RSA",
   default_flag = False
 }]
 Voila!

HTH,
