AltostratusF5 APM/LTM Ansible module - which to use for changing apm access profile attached to VS?
I would like to use the ansible f5 modules to basically remove or add an access policy attached to a virtual server list. Which ansible f5 module would I use for that?
Would it be the bigip_asm_policy module? If so, I don't see where I see the association with the virtual servers access policy drop down list in the GUI.
bigip_asm_policy:
name: "{{ ans_f5_access_profile }}"
partition: "{{ ans_f5_partition }}"
active: yes
state: present
provider:
server: "{{ ans_f5_endpoint_url }}"
user: "{{ ans_f5_userid }}"
password: "{{ ans_f5_password }}"
validate_certs: no
Hello Sarlindo.
As I said in my previous response :-), 'profiles' option is a 'replace-all-with' action, so you have to introduce a complete list of profiles to assign on the VS.
In the documentation states this:
"List of profiles (HTTP, ClientSSL, ServerSSL, etc) to apply to both sides of the connection (client-side and server-side) ... If you want to remove a profile from the list of profiles currently active on the virtual, simply remove it from the profiles list".
Conclusion:
- With AP profile: {{ tcp http myaccess-prof }}
- Without AP profile: {{ tcp http }}
So, your variable "ans_f5_access_profile" should be a complete list with all the profiles assigned to the VS.
If this was helpful, I will appreciate if you mark my answer as 'the best' to help other people to find it ;-).
Regards,
Dario.
