NimbostratusCreating a data class in 9.x
I am trying to create a class in 9.x to allow only certain uri's to each web site. Here is the what the rule looks like.
class allowed_uris {
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { ( [HTTP::host] contains "website1.com" ) or ( [HTTP::host] contains "website2" ) } {
pool pool1
} elseif { ( [HTTP::host] contains "website3.com" ) and ( [ matchclass [HTTP::uri] contains $::allowed_uris] ) } {
pool pool2
} elseif { ( [HTTP::host] contains "website4") and ( [ matchclass [HTTP::uri] contains $::allowed_uris ] ) } {
pool pool3
} else {
discard
}
}
I know the syntax is :
class allowed_uris { "images" "styles" }
but where or how is the class created?

Hi,
A class in past versions is now referred to in the GUI as a datagroup. You can add/view them in the GUI under Local Traffic >> iRules >> Data Group List. It's in a tab along the top to the right of iRules.
Also, the format for a rule in the GUI doesn't include the class allowed_uris { line. That would be how the class (datagroup) is shown in the bigip.conf file.
Lastly, you might want to use 'string tolower' to do a case insensitive comparison for the host comparison, and in your URI test comparison if your web application is not case sensitive.
