Hello Anders, The problem here is that when doing any of the SSL scenarios it will try and create an external monitor, this requires some additional TCL commands. This should work in almost all environments, however my guess is you are using a user account that does not have the administrator role?

 

Basically the scenario where this can occur with some of the tcl commands being called in various iApps is if the user has a “non-admin” role such as resource administrator assigned to them on the big ip they can create an iApp, but if it uses certain executables within the deployment of that iApp then those get blocked as a result of a security feature on the BIG-IP.

 

If this is the case for you then the recommended solution is to run the iApp as an administrator, an alternative would possibly be to use your own monitor in the iApp which should cause those sets of commands being run to not be run, but you might run into another invalid TCL command use case as a result.

 

Let me know if this is(or isn't) the case...
