Security of credentials in iControl/REST api
Hi all,
I'm newbie to iControl. It's useful and we hope to use it in daily provisioning, probably using python. However, we've to either use username/password or X-F5-Auth-Token which is not expected to have a 'too-long' lifetime (correct?).
We wonder if there is any good practice to avoid hard coding credentials (username/password) in any script, and if there is workaround to make use of X-F5-Auth-Token.
Would anyone please advise?
Thanks a lot. Regards
