Hi Cool_Y,

Until there is no bigip_module available you can use uri module with iControl REST API to create client ssl profile

To create ssl profile with existing SSL certificate and SSL key

- name: " Create SSL profile"

 uri:

     url: "https://mybigip/mgmt/tm/ltm/profile/client-ssl/"
     method: "POST"
     validate_certs: no
     body_format: "json"
     body:
       name: "test_client_sslprofile"
       partition: "Common"
       cert: "/Common/test_cert.ct"
       key: "/Common/test_key.key"
       username: "admin"
       password: "admin"
 delegate_to: localhost

Using uri module we can create any object in F5 if the know the iControl REST API to call.

Thanks

Syed Nazir
