Thanks for the information and recommendation Lucas. But that would be overkill for what I am trying to do. F5 has already a mechasism to store sensitive information like the service accounts passwords on Kerberos SSO profiles, I was hoping there was a way to store admin defined information like that and be able to retrieve it during access policy processing.
