BIG-IP : http profile : insert x-forwarded-for : enabled
F5 BIG-IP Virtual Edition v11.4.1 (Build 635.0) LTM on ESXi HTTP Profile Insert X-Forwarded-For : Enabled Suppose the client has already added the "X-Forwarded-For" header value to the request. How will BIG-IP behave ? Will it leave the existing header value intact ? Or will it overwrite the value with what it believes to be the request client ip ? Further, at what point in request-processing does the insert/replace header operation occur ? Does it occur before iRule processing so that the header value is available within the iRule event processing when HTTP_REQUEST {} ?BIP-IP : identify true client-ip
F5 BIG-IP Virtual Edition v11.4.1 (Build 635.0) LTM on ESXi I suppose this is more of a nw question than a BIG-IP question. I am testing http requests against our prod website from a client located within our corporate nw. On my prod f5 virtual-server I have a diagnostic irule which writes this log : log local0. "Client [IP::client_addr]:[TCP::client_port]" However, BIG-IP logs a client-ip different than my client's static-ip. I believe traffic is being NAT'd before routing externally and arriving at our prod DC. How can I setup a test client so that BIG-IP logs the true ip ? ( my client's static-ip )
X-Forwarded-For header
Hi All, My application team requirement is to able to see the actual client ip address whoever accessing the application instead of BIG IP address as SNAT (Auto map) is enabled. I have read some SOL on it and understand that we can achieve this by iRule & HTTP profile. However, my requirement is to have an iRule as we can take decision whether to add X-Forwarded-For header to client requests. Can anyone please share the iRule script pertaining to this requirement. Thanks in advance, MSK
See real ip of the client - TCP VIP
SETUP: VIP - 1.1.1.1:49 pool - 2.2.2.2:49 and 3.3.3.3:49 snat - automap so this is a tacacs setup, so the pool members only allow real ip of the devices and not snat ip of the F5. How can we set this up on the VIP? By the way I tried x-forwarded-for but it doesn't work since it is for HTTP. Please help.
Preserve client IP and client certificate with SharePoint
Using x-forwarded-for preserves the client IP but interferes with Common Access Card (CAC) authentication when using AUTOmap with a Standard vs. We have switched to nPath routing for generic application servers to preserve both client IP and client certificate. How or can we preserve both the source IP and client certificate for a Sharepoint application server (2010 and 2016)? Unfortunately an inline configuration is out of the question. Look forward to suggestions or recommended reading. Sharepoint: Client (ip, CAC) <--> LTM/VIP/pool <--> Real Servers (CAC authentication) nPath: Client (ip, CAC) --> LTM/VIP/pool --> Real Servers (ip, CAC authentication) data returns to client via router
Capturing Client IP address for LDAP, FastL4 etc VS
Hi Team, Is there a possibility we can capture client IP address on server side for LDAP, Fast L4 VS? Those which are not utilizing HTTP profile. When I think at LTM side we can write irule with CLIENT IP and log IP address, is there any other way? Also is there any way to capture client IP address on server side. THanks.How to Determine Public IP when using a AutoMap SNAT with TCPDUMP?
All, I have a situation where I am trying to determine the Client IP when using AutoMaP on my VIP. I can find the packets I am interested in as they pass from the AutoMap IP to the Pool Members using TCPDUMP. Obviously the SRC IP in my captures always show the F5 AutoMap IP. Is there any way to follow sequence numbers or something else that would reveal the packet as it came to the VIP, if I have packet info going to the Pool Members? What is odd is that I find the packets with Source of the AutoMap and Destination of pool members (not always the same member). In the packet details I find the info I am looking for in this case an FTP login attempt that fails. But if I filter my TCPDUMP using the VIP I never find any of the same kind of payload I see when I filter on the bad login attempt that happens over and over. What could I be missing, at first I thought someone internal was going directly to the server, but if that were true I would expect to see that LAN clients IP instead of the AutoMap... hmmm unless they are in a different subnet and still needing AutoMap. That of course takes me back to the original question... how the heck to I match up capture data coming to a pool member with data coming into VIP? Hopefully this is not stupid.. I figure there has to be away And no, we can't turn of AutoMap for use X-Forward etc. as this is FTP. I am happy to provide capture detail if needed. Raymond
