Implementation of "Portal" process iControl: The Server Components

Can anyone please tell how to implement the Server side Components for iControl.

 

Below is article by F5: The Server Components:

 

The second part of the iControl communication channel is the server side web services. These are implemented in a "Portal" process that runs under that administrative management port on the F5 devices. This Portal, listens for incoming secure and encrypted iControl calls, parses the incoming XML-based SOAP Message into native code, performs the relevant internal operations, and then generates and returns a XML-based SOAP Response to the client application.
