NimbostratusHow to tcpdump traffic between APM Http Auth AAA object and a layered virtual server
Trying to debug APM http auth traffic to a layered virtual server. I have an APM http auth AAA object which sends custom http post to a layered VS, which in turn converts http to https and forwards the request to an external authentication server. I'm getting 400 Bad request from the external server. CUrl'ing the same content goes ok.
I might be missing something, but haven't been able to tcpdump the traffic between the http auth and the layered VS. Any advice?
There was a recent ticket in support open for it so i thought it is worth sharing the solution.
You have to capture on the vlan that traffic to the AAA server leaves through, and use the :l switch.
Example:
tcpdump -i external:l

Hmmm, are you using the [virtual] command? If so I suspect it's not possible.
I can't be 100% sure so it might be worth disabling CMP and PVA for the two VSs and trying again but note this will have a performance impact so not something to do during a busy period.
