Powershell Command Issue with .58 (Read-LicenseEULA)

Powershell Command Issue with .58 (Read-LicenseEULA)

Product: LoadMaster

Version: 7.2.58

Platform: Any

Application: Any

• The Read-LicenseEULA command is returning a ReturnCode of 401 but it appears the command is successfully running.

• If you downgrade to firmware version 7.2..57, the Real-LicenseEULA command can be executed successfully.
  
  

• Running other LoadMaster related commands on version .58 work as well, so this issue is limited with this particular version.

• Install new VLM, Set IP address via console and then issue following command

ReturnCode Response                                                                                     
---------- --------                                                                                     
      401 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>...

• The EULA content itself appears to be breaking the PowerShell XML parser. There is code that massages the eula.html before shipping out to API, but this code needs to be updated to work with the new EULA.

• This is currently considered to be a bug. A workaround can be found for this below.

The following workaround can be ran in the meantime while our developers work on a fix:

----------------- PowerShell 5.1 Commands using Kemp PS Module -----------

$ip = '192.168.x.x'

$port = '443'

$cred0 = New-Object pscredential('bal', (ConvertTo-SecureString -String '1fourall' -AsPlainText -Force))

$rc = (Initialize-LmConnectionParameters -Address $ip -LBPort $port -Credential $cred0).returncode

# Read Eula and collect first magic string

$r = (Read-licenseEULA).response.tostring()

if ($r -match "Command successfully executed") {

$Magic1 = (Read-LicenseEULA).data.eula.MagicString

$msg = (date -format u) + " INFO - Read EULA. Magic1 = $Magic1"; $msg

}

# Work around for 7.2.58.0

Elseif ($r -match "<Magic>") {

$r = ($r | convertfrom-string -Delimiter "/Magic>").P1

$magic1 = $r.Substring(($r.length - 37), 36)

$msg = (date -format u) + " INFO - Read EULA. Magic1 = $Magic1"; $msg

}

Else {

$msg = (date -format u) + " ERR - CANNOT COLLECT MAGIC1 FROM EULA. Skipping $ip"; $msg

}
