Assign ASM policy to VS via iControl/REST

Hello everyone,

 

I batch create virtual servers using the iControl/REST interface. Only thing missing now is assigning a pre-existing ASM policy.

 

My version is 11.5.1, will upgrade to 11.5.3 later. Does someone know how to do this? Thank you.

  • Hello, you can drastically simplify that by just specifying the VS array list in the ASM policy property virtualServers. This will automatically create the ltm policy attaching the ASM policy to the virtual server.

    So as an example, if i want to attach an existing policy to an existing vs called vs_http i would just have to do :

    PATCH /mgmt/tm/asm/policies/TUFO8Y208Zm1hvmqnCuuqw/

    {"virtualServers" : ["/Common/vs_http"]}

  • Hello,

    I think that before v12.0.0, it's not easy to attach an existing ASM profile to a VS. But you can try using the following icontrol urls :

    First create an ltm policy with a POST to

    /mgmt/tm/ltm/policy

    Then you will need to add conditions and actions in your policy. Here the url to add an action which will tell the policy to use an existing asm profile :

    /mgmt/tm/ltm/policy/my_policy_name/rules/default/actions

    And finally, you need to assign the ltm policy to your VS by using the following url

    /mgmt/tm/ltm/virtual/vs-auction/policies

    I don't find any other easier way to achieve your need
