Create a temporary rule (AFM) based on the request

Hi,

 

I am mimicking the behavior of the FTP auth of checkpoint. I have created the FTP server and now the client has authenticate using the iRule. Now, I would like to create a temporary AFM rule to allow that IP to some other services. Is that possible? Is there any command to do such thing?

 

Regards, Arturo.

application delivery

    define temporary? Do you mean dynamically, in that you can create a rule on the fly based on certain conditions, that can also be removed on the fly?

    Yes! For example, in other firewalls you can authenticate through telnet against a TACACS (I have already done it) and that IP (not the authenticated user) will be allowed to access to any or to a selected port... 456 for example. In checkpoint is named client authentication.

     

    If that does not work, I will use the main table to add that IP and allow every IP to the port 456 and reject users based on that table but... :(

     

    Do you understand me?

     

    Thanks, Ar.
