NimbostratusDoes HTTP::respond or HTTP::redirect work with OCSP?
Could anybody tell me if redirect or respond works with ssl ocsp AUTH_FAILURE and AUTH_ERROR? I've been able to make it work with LDAP, but not ssl ocsp. I get errors like:
01070151:3: Rule [something] error:
line 41: [command is not valid in current event context (AUTH_ERROR)] [HTTP::redirect "http://x.x.x.x"]
or
TCL error: Rule something AUTH_FAILURE - Operation not supported line 1 invoked from within HTTP::respond 401
Thank you,
Rob

- HTTP::respond should be a valid command under both AUTH_FAILURE and AUTH_ERROR.
Here's a link to an example of a rule doing just that, as a matter of fact: Click here
Perhaps you're missing the information following the status code?

Robert_Decker_2Could you verify that the respond code works with ssl ocsp? It seems like the following Irule I am using will not work with HTTP::respond. (x.x.x.x is an IP on our production network) The Big IP os version is 9.2.3 Build 34.3.

Thank you,
Rob- The authentication method that you're using shouldn't have any relevancy on which commands are available under which events in the iRule.
Have you tried passing a different response code with your respond command? If you look at the command I linked earlier in the post, there's a good example of passing a 401 response with a custom message.
Perhaps try this first to see if it will work in your setup, and then work from there?
Colin - Robert_Decker_2I tried a 401 response with the following log:

Any thoughts? Is there a specific response to be used with ocsp?
Thank you,
