Dear all,     Can LTM use irules to perform HTTP authentication based on local .htaccess / .htpasswd (like in Apache)?     Many thanks.

Hello there,

I want to make this iRule more dynamic. So I insert a new META-Tag: 

HTTP::respond 401 content { "http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/loose.dtd"> 
  
  
 Redirect 
  
  
 401 Unauthorised. 
 } WWW-Authenticate "Basic realm=\"Secure Area\""

But now I want to change the "URL" with "[HTTP::host]". I try to do this since hours but it doesn't work.

Perhaps someone has an idea.
