When using an iRule to disable bot profile, and causing it to be disabled (for the entire connection) during a CAPTCHA challenge -- TMM will crash.
Traffic disrupted while tmm restarts.
-- Bot Defense profile is attached to the Virtual Server, with a CAPTCHA mitigation. -- An iRule is attached to the virtual server, which disables bot profile. -- Sending a request that is responded with a CAPTCHA, then sending (in the same connection), a request that disable the bot profile, and then answering the CAPTCHA.
When using an iRule to disable bot defense profile on certain conditions, add an "else" clause for re-enabling the profile, taking note that all ::disable iRule commands are effective for the entire connection, and not just the transaction.
TMM no longer crashes when disabling bot defense profile for the entire connection.
