NimbostratusHTTP Authentication
Dear all,
Can LTM use irules to perform HTTP authentication based on local .htaccess / .htpasswd (like in Apache)?
Many thanks.
I know there have been several people who have used iRules to offload authentication, even HTTP auth, but iRules won't be able to read any information stored on the Webserver's filesystem. If you wanted to store the valid usernames/passwords on the BIG-IP, or in some authentication resource like an LDAP server, there are profiles to allow for the offloading of auth that way.
