Hi Scott,

 

 

That's a novel approach. I know a lot of customers individually do this with SSH sessions by manually setting their client to use different background colors.

 

 

I don't think there is a supported method for doing this for the GUI. You could set a different login message for the live and QA units. Or maybe enforce a practice of using one browser type for live and another for QA. If you wanted to hack something, maybe you could use a VS and iRule to filter access to the GUI by user-agent. You could send a message from the iRule if the user-agent isn't correct for that environment.

 

 

Or you could write a Greasemonkey script which does this per site/domain.

 

 

If none of these options sound good to you, you could open a case with F5 Support and see if they know of a method. If not, they could open a request for enhancement for you.
