How to upgrade Websense iApp that has a bug
I have the Websense iapp installed in BigIP LTM 11.4.1 HF7 on a 4200v cluster. The iapp file/version is "f5.websense_cg_assistant_v2_20140317".
The problem with this iapp is that it misconfigures the destination IP of the virtual server. It sets the addressing to "host" with an address of 0.0.0.0 and no subnet mask. The fix is to set to "subnet" and use 0.0.0.0 for both source and subnet mark. Unfortunately I wasted a great deal of time with this iapp before I realized this problem.
I think there may be some other bug as well, because if I re-run the iapp config wizard, not only does it foul up the source IP addressing, but the virtual server won't pass traffic. I haven't compared the configs on the working and non-working nodes to see what the differences are. In any case, I need to upgrade this iapp to a more recent version that will hopefully fix the bug(s).
How do I upgrade an iapp, and will it retain the correct settings? How does strict updates play into this? My worry is that I have a working config, but I don't quite know how I ended up with it, and if install the new iapp version, it's going to blow away my working config and I'll never be able to get it working correctly. Perhaps comparing the command line config will reveal what the specifics are.
thanks!
