CirrusAuthentication issue Firefox
Hi All,
I used the following iRule to authenticate users using the LDAP server (Form based authentication) https://devcentral.f5.com/codeshare/client-auth-using-html-forms but I faced weird behavior as the authentication succeed when using Internet Explorer browser, but when using the Firefox the or Chrome the special characters got encoded "%26hnsduy%21" >>>> it should be "&hnsduy!" I don't know why this happens and why even for the firefox? I want to emphasize it's working fine for IE.

that all looks quite old, which version of TMOS are you using? 
refra_151287Hello, 11.5.1 HF8,- boneyardyou don't have APM i assume? this method of auth seems to be loosing ground against that. really can't say why this happens. the code and instruction are also not crystal clear to me, perhaps i can give it a try when i have some time.
- refra_151287thanks, I used a workaround to solve it by decoding the password before using it for authentication, which is wired but fortunately worked, as follow: set auth_password [URI::decode $auth_password_2] I also can share final draft of the irule with you if you want to encourage you to try :)
- boneyardgreat you solved it, to be honest i rather stay away from this authentication type and use the APM.
