Insert HTTP headers when accessing a Webtop link

If your webtop link is going to a page sitting behind your F5, then you could use your iRule to add headers to the request.

If the link goes to an external site, then I don't think you'll be able to insert any headers, as there's not way for the F5 to intercept the traffic. Even with a 30x redirect too, it wouldn't force the browser to send the desired headers on the request. You would need to link to a url on the F5 that could proxy the request to the real server so you can inject those headers.

Michael,

Thanks for the reply. I currently have the link running through a virtual server so that traffic is going through the F5. When I look at the traffic passing, I'm not seeing the headers inserted with the iRule above. I am able to successfully get to the link by going to

So the user's request goes to your VIP, and gets proxied to backend site? If you add some logging to your irule, do you see anything in the ltm log? Something like:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    log local0. "URI: '[HTTP::uri]'"
    if { [HTTP::uri] contains "VendorPortal_test"} {
        log local0. "  VenderPortal_Test - Adding headers"

        log local0. "    Adding 'customer': '[ACCESS::session data get session.ad.last.attr.extensionAttribute1]'"
        HTTP::header insert customer "[ACCESS::session data get session.ad.last.attr.extensionAttribute1]"

        log local0. "    Adding 'document': '[ACCESS::session data get session.ad.last.attr.extensionAttribute2]'"
        HTTP::header insert document "[ACCESS::session data get session.ad.last.attr.extensionAttribute2]"
    }         
}

This could help determine if anything actually happening or not.

look the following link:

https://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/iRules.ACCESS_ACL_ALLOWED.ashx

ACCESS_ACL_ALLOWED is raised even if no ACL is defined.

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    set uri [HTTP::uri]
}

when ACCESS_ACL_ALLOWED {
    if { $uri contains "VendorPortal_test"} {
        HTTP::header insert customer "[ACCESS::session data get session.ad.last.attr.extensionAttribute1]"
        HTTP::header insert document "[ACCESS::session data get session.ad.last.attr.extensionAttribute2]"
    }  
}
