NimbostratusGet ClientIP Address Behind LoadBalancer
Hi,
I am facing an issue to capture the actual IP address of the customers. The Web application is developed in ASP.NET 2.0 version (IIS version is 6.0) and it is hosted in Windows 2003 server behind the F5 Load Balancer.
I have tried to capture the customer IP address through the REMOTE_ADDR server variable, however it is capturing the actual IP address. I have also tried the below server variables and they are not also working either,
- HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR
- HTTP_USER_AGENT
- HTTP_CLIENT_IP
- HttpContext.Current.Request.UserHostAddress
I have also tried the solutions mentioned in the link https://devcentral.f5.com/blogs/us/...ws-servers and tried the below steps,
1. Downloaded the file and transferred the dll from \x64\Release folder in a new folder of the server C:\ISAPIFilters.
2. Right clicked on the IIS and select Properties. Then selected the "ISAPI Filters" tab. From there clicked the "Add" button and entered "F5XForwardedFor" for the Name and the path to the file "c:\ISAPIFilters\F5XForwardedFor.dll" to the Executable field. Clicked Ok.
However found that the Status of the Filter is showing as "NOT LOADED" in the IIS.
Also to confirm you that I am receiving NULL values in the X-Forwarded-For Server variable.
Please advise.
Thanks and Regards,
Aniket
hgh_217669Hi , I have same issue with the client IP addresses. I tested all the ways with BIG IP .I used the iRules methods , also I used the http , fasthttp profiles to retrieve the client IP . The solution works properly , until I deploy for all users and I face a delay in loading the pages more specifically in first login page. In the environment we have more than 10 IIS-2k3 servers which are running the ASP.Net v.2 codes for an application . When I use the http profiles for header insertion methods (iRules or XFF enabling) the system response time increases and the users face the latency. The only method I can deploy with situation is the Standard deployment of the V-servers and in detail I can only use TCP features like fastL4 profiles.
- I need LB
- I need client IP
- The XFF or iRules works
The environment : 192.168.10.x-z >>>>>>BIGIP:192.168.10.Y>>>>>> Other zones of Clients
