    Hello TSM,

     

    Which version of IE are you using ?

     

    Could you add the following lines to your irule

     

    if { [IP::client_addr] eq "x.x.x.x" } { log local0. "User Agent value [HTTP::header value "User-Agent"]" }

     

    and check logs in file /var/log/ltm

     

    Regards

    Hi TSM,

    to identify Internet Explorer regardless of its version, you have to check for the pattern "MSIE " or "Trident/".

    switch -glob -- [HTTP::header value "User-Agent"] { 
    "Mozilla/*MSIE *" - "Mozilla/*Trident/*" {
        set is_internet_explorer true
    }
    default {
        set is_internet_explorer false
    }
}

    Note: For further information which UA-String is used by which browser you may check up the following page [click me].

    Cheers, Kai
