Exchange iApp OWA irule Modification for Enterprise Vault

Hi Joe, you should not need to modify the iApp template if you are using a recent version.

 

You should be able to create a separate iRule with the pool command for Enterprise Vault, then use the iRules section in the iApp to attach that iRule to the virtual server.

 

The most recent version of the template is v1.2.0, which is available on downloads.f5.com.

 

thanks

The /enterprisevault section does not seem to be working but the /owa is working. when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [string tolower [http_uri]] equals "/enterprisevault" } then { pool exchange-mail_enterprisevault } else { if { ([HTTP::uri] == "/") } then { HTTP::redirect https://[HTTP::host]/owa/ } } }

You need to use the same syntax for scanning the URI: when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] equals "/enterprisevault" } then { pool exchange-mail_enterprisevault } else { if { ([HTTP::uri] == "/") } then { HTTP::redirect https://[HTTP::host]/owa/ } } }

How can I log the irule to see if being used? It still does not seem to be working.

You can use the following log statement to log a message to /var/log/ltm when the Enterprise Vault URI is seen. Also, you don't need to use "then" after your if statements: when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] equals "/enterprisevault" } { log local0. "enterprise vault found" pool exchange-mail_enterprisevault } else { if { ([HTTP::uri] == "/") } { HTTP::redirect https://[HTTP::host]/owa/ } } }

Still not working as I do not see any traffic hitting pool member. tcltm-irp-1a-lab info tmm[12841]: Rule /Common/exchange-mail_owa_ev_irule : enterprise vault found

Is the Enterprise Vault URI "/enterprisevault" exactly? Try using "contains" instead: when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] contains "/enterprisevault" } { log local0. "enterprise vault found" pool exchange-mail_enterprisevault } else { if { ([HTTP::uri] == "/") } { HTTP::redirect https://[HTTP::host]/owa/ } } } Then ssh into the BIG-IP and run "tail -f /var/log/ltm" while you try to connect. You should see that log statement if you are getting a match.

Still nothing to the enterprisevault pool members Apr 17 14:56:25 ltm-irp1a-lab info tmm2[12843]: Rule /Common/exchange-mail_owa_ev_irule : enterprise vault found Apr 17 14:56:36 ltm-irp1a-lab info tmm2[12843]: Rule /Common/exchange-mail_owa_ev_irule : enterprise vault found Apr 17 14:56:38 ltm-irp1a-lab info tmm2[12843]: Rule /Common/exchange-mail_owa_ev_irule : enterprise vault found Using this irule _______________________________________________________________________________ when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] contains "/enterprisevault" } { log local0. "enterprise vault found" pool exchange-mail_enterprisevault } }

Do your pool members match the encryption state of the server-side connection? For example, if they are expecting an encrypted connection, is the virtual server using a serverssl profile?

I'm using the same VS the Exchange iPP created for all mail services. OA, OWA, AD, AS. I'm just trying to add another pool and use the same VS and URL but look for /enterprisevault. I have my new iRule in top of iRule order under the VS. I see the irule gets hit but no traffic from LTM to the server, when watching tcpdump. I just tried this irule also. ______________________________________________________________________________ hen HTTP_REQUEST { route to pool based on URI value switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] { "/enterprisevault*" { pool exchange-mail_enterprisevault } }
