class f5.bigip.tm.auth.password_policy.Password_Policy(auth)

Bases: f5.bigip.resource.UnnamedResource

BIG-IP® password policy unnamed resource

This is an unnamed resource so it has no ~Partition~Name pattern at the end of its URI.

create(**kwargs)

Create is not supported for unnamed resources

Raises:UnsupportedMethod

delete(**kwargs)

Delete is not supported for unnamed resources

Raises:UnsupportedMethod

modify(**patch)

Modify the configuration of the resource on device based on patch

raw

Display the attributes that the current object has and their values.

Returns:A dictionary of attributes and their values

refresh(**kwargs)

Use this to make the device resource be represented by self.

This method makes an HTTP GET query against the device service. This method is run for its side-effects on self. If successful the instance attribute __dict__ is replaced with the dict representing the device state. To figure out what that state is, run a subsequest query of the object like this: As with all CURDLE methods use a “requests_params” dict to pass parameters to requests.session.HTTPMETHOD. See test_requests_params.py for an example. >>> resource_obj.refresh() >>> print(resource_obj.raw)

update(**kwargs)

Update the configuration of the resource on the BIG-IP®.

This method uses HTTP PUT alter the resource state on the BIG-IP®.

The attributes of the instance will be packaged as a dictionary. That dictionary will be updated with kwargs. It is then submitted as JSON to the device.

Various edge cases are handled: * read-only attributes that are unchangeable are removed

Parameters:kwargs – keys and associated values to alter on the device

NOTE: If kwargs has a ‘requests_params’ key the corresponding dict will be passed to the underlying requests.session.put method where it will be handled according to that API. THIS IS HOW TO PASS QUERY-ARGS!

class f5.bigip.tm.auth.user.Users(auth)

Bases: f5.bigip.resource.Collection

BIG-IP® user collection

create(**kwargs)

Implement this by overriding it in a subclass of Resource

Raises:InvalidResource

delete(**kwargs)

Implement this by overriding it in a subclass of Resource

Raises:InvalidResource

get_collection(**kwargs)

Get an iterator of Python Resource objects that represent URIs.

The returned objects are Pythonic Resource`s that map to the most recently `refreshed state of uris-resources published by the device. In order to instantiate the correct types, the concrete subclass must populate its registry with acceptable types, based on the kind field returned by the REST server.

Note

This method implies a single REST transaction with the Collection subclass URI.

Raises:UnregisteredKind Returns:list of reference dicts and Python Resource objects

modify(**patch)

Modify the configuration of the resource on device based on patch

raw

Display the attributes that the current object has and their values.

Returns:A dictionary of attributes and their values

refresh(**kwargs)

This method makes an HTTP GET query against the device service. This method is run for its side-effects on self. If successful the instance attribute __dict__ is replaced with the dict representing the device state. To figure out what that state is, run a subsequest query of the object like this: As with all CURDLE methods use a “requests_params” dict to pass parameters to requests.session.HTTPMETHOD.

update(**kwargs)

Update the configuration of the resource on the BIG-IP®.

This method uses HTTP PUT alter the resource state on the BIG-IP®.

The attributes of the instance will be packaged as a dictionary. That dictionary will be updated with kwargs. It is then submitted as JSON to the device.

Various edge cases are handled: * read-only attributes that are unchangeable are removed

Parameters:kwargs – keys and associated values to alter on the device

NOTE: If kwargs has a ‘requests_params’ key the corresponding dict will be passed to the underlying requests.session.put method where it will be handled according to that API. THIS IS HOW TO PASS QUERY-ARGS!

class f5.bigip.tm.auth.user.User(users)

Bases: f5.bigip.resource.Resource

BIG-IP® user resource

create(**kwargs)

Create the resource on the BIG-IP®.

Uses HTTP POST to the collection URI to create a resource associated with a new unique URI on the device.

Parameters:kwargs – All the key-values needed to create the resource

NOTE: If kwargs has a ‘requests_params’ key the corresponding dict will be passed to the underlying requests.session.post method where it will be handled according to that API. THIS IS HOW TO PASS QUERY-ARGS! :returns: self - A python object that represents the object’s

configuration and state on the BIG-IP®.

delete(**kwargs)

Delete the resource on the BIG-IP®.

Uses HTTP DELETE to delete the resource on the BIG-IP®.

After this method is called, and status_code 200 response is received instance.__dict__ is replace with {'deleted': True}

Parameters:kwargs – The only current use is to pass kwargs to the requests

API. If kwargs has a ‘requests_params’ key the corresponding dict will be passed to the underlying requests.session.delete method where it will be handled according to that API. THIS IS HOW TO PASS QUERY-ARGS!

exists(**kwargs)

Check for the existence of the named object on the BIG-IP

Sends an HTTP GET to the URI of the named object and if it fails with a :exc:~requests.HTTPError` exception it checks the exception for status code of 404 and returns False in that case.

If the GET is successful it returns True.

For any other errors are raised as-is.

Parameters:kwargs – Keyword arguments required to get objects

NOTE: If kwargs has a ‘requests_params’ key the corresponding dict will be passed to the underlying requests.session.get method where it will be handled according to that API. THIS IS HOW TO PASS QUERY-ARGS! :returns: bool – The objects exists on BIG-IP® or not. :raises: requests.HTTPError, Any HTTP error that was not status

code 404.

load(**kwargs)

Load an already configured service into this instance.

This method uses HTTP GET to obtain a resource from the BIG-IP®.

Parameters:kwargs – typically contains “name” and “partition”

NOTE: If kwargs has a ‘requests_params’ key the corresponding dict will be passed to the underlying requests.session.get method where it will be handled according to that API. THIS IS HOW TO PASS QUERY-ARGS! :returns: a Resource Instance (with a populated _meta_data[‘uri’])

modify(**patch)

Modify the configuration of the resource on device based on patch

raw

Display the attributes that the current object has and their values.

Returns:A dictionary of attributes and their values

refresh(**kwargs)

Use this to make the device resource be represented by self.

This method makes an HTTP GET query against the device service. This method is run for its side-effects on self. If successful the instance attribute __dict__ is replaced with the dict representing the device state. To figure out what that state is, run a subsequest query of the object like this: As with all CURDLE methods use a “requests_params” dict to pass parameters to requests.session.HTTPMETHOD. See test_requests_params.py for an example. >>> resource_obj.refresh() >>> print(resource_obj.raw)

update(**kwargs)

Update the configuration of the resource on the BIG-IP®.

This method uses HTTP PUT alter the resource state on the BIG-IP®.

The attributes of the instance will be packaged as a dictionary. That dictionary will be updated with kwargs. It is then submitted as JSON to the device.

Various edge cases are handled: * read-only attributes that are unchangeable are removed

Parameters:kwargs – keys and associated values to alter on the device

NOTE: If kwargs has a ‘requests_params’ key the corresponding dict will be passed to the underlying requests.session.put method where it will be handled according to that API. THIS IS HOW TO PASS QUERY-ARGS!
