iRule questions maybe easy, maybe hard?

First off, welcome to the community!

 

 

1) Status is from [SSL::mode], returns 0 or 1 and is contextual to client/server side events

 

 

2) you can add log statements to all the events that trigger for your particular rule and trap SSL::mode. Can also use ssldump as appropriate

 

 

3) No, but you can store what you need in a class (datagroup in the GUI) and do your comparison's against that

 

 

4) Not sure on this one, I don't have much background in SSL

 

 

5) For all things F5, this is a very active community, so I'd recommend hanging out here!
