IP Filtering using Xff-clientip in iRule
We are currently using IP filtering for URIs like this:
} elseif { ([HTTP::uri] starts_with "/site") and ( [class match [IP::client_addr] equals management_IP])} {
use pool pSite
However we just started passing the traffic through a web security provider, so the source IP addresses are now the security provider IP. Is there a way we can use the X-Forwarded-For IP address in this kind of filtering?
You are right Stan! Thanks for the contribution.
, here is the new code:
when HTTP_REQUEST { if { ([HTTP::uri] starts_with "/site") } { if {[HTTP::header exists "X-Forwarded-For"]} { set clientIP [string trim [getfield [HTTP::header value "X-Forwarded-For"] "," 1] " "] if { ([class match $clientIP equals management_IP]) } { pool pSite } } else { pool pSite } } }
KR,
Dario.
