History

12/7/2015: Added Version control, error handling, base icontrol function. Moved most mods inside testcon, ensures that connection is good, and using a supported version of TMOS.

12/8/2015: Lots of bug fixes, code cleanup, added functions.

2/25/2016: Added Cookie encryption iRule.

9/27/2016: Moved some code around for Windows 10 support. Tightened security around supported ciphers and protocols for SSHD/HTTPD.

3/17/2017: Added some updates to PowerSRG.sh. Not completed, just does the basic patching.

*TODO:

-Working on CreateClientSSLProfile() function.

-Workflow Upload, Split (key/pair, as needed), install. Tie to CreateClientSSLProfile() when completed.

-Work on upload NTP keys, and install accordingly.

-Found Admin rename / disable does not work when using Remote AAA. Figure out work around for that. Possibly switch to local, update, switch back to AAA. What effects on currently logged in user?

-SelfIP Lockdown

-Concurrent GUI Users

-Attach cookie encryption irule to HTTPS Virtual Servers

Verified Working:

-11.6.0

-12.0.0

-12.1.1

-12.1.2

-13.0
