How to Rename an ASM Policy
-
Make a new ASM policy with the desired ASM policy name. You will have to go through the entire setup process.
-
Export the incorrectly named ASM policy on the appliance. You can do either XML or Binary. You can read about the different types here (https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_asm/manuals/product/asm-implementations-11-4-0/5.html NOTE: this is version specific), for this operation, I prefer binary for this specific action.
-
Import the policy that was exported in Step 2. For the "Import Target" replace the policy that has the new name created in step 1.
-
Apply the newly named profile to the virtual server, and remove the old one.
I found this out while doing some testing today, and seems to work like a charm. Let me know how it works or if there is a better way.
