APM - Allow session by checking if Session Variable exist in a List/DB
Hello
I need to Build a use case, where I need to allow only specific Machines to access a web applications.
The best approach i reached to was through the APM module, where i can retrieve the Machine info, and validate the BIOS Serial number (which is unique among different machines) against a list of Allowed SN.
- If the variable (
session.machine_info./Common/Test-Access_act_machine_info_ag.bios.sn) exist in list ==> Grant Access to Web app
- If the variable does not existing the list ==> DROP access (And provide a way for the admin to include it to the list if it's an approved machine)
If this a good approach to do? or is there any other easier and practical way to authenticate a Machine before granting access?
If yes, where should i write the list of allowed BIOS SN, and how to do make Validation check (If SN exist in LIST)
Regards,
Georges.

Hello, where is the list of allowed BIOS numbers? In a attribute in say AD? Or in a datagroup within the BigIP?
