Access to real time data

Hi all,

 

 

I need your help. I need to access to Radius data replica in real time, so I get some data that I need to put into http headers. Do you know if it is possible to do it with irules or it is necessary other BIG-IP module?

 

 

Thanks in advance,

    Hi Pepi,

     

     

    The Advanced Client Auth module allows you to authenticate client traffic against a Radius (and other auth) servers. But you can't use it to run arbitrary queries against the Radius server. You could make sideband HTTP calls though which might provide similar functionality. Deb wrote a great article a while back on this:
