Log username with SSO ...

Hi,

 

 

To log the username i used this iRules :

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

set client_username "[HTTP::username]"

 

}

 

 

But with the SSO, the client don't send the autorization header, but the SSO's cookie...

 

==> my iRules failed :(

 

 

It's there an another way to get the username ?

    If the username is encrypted with Kerberos, then the F5 will not be able to extract it. I don't think this can be done without some engineering of the app, but someone may have another idea.

    Are you running v11?

     

    If yes, do you have AUTHENTICATION module licensed?

     

    If yes, you should be able to get this information by configuring APM and making use of ACCESS::user command.

     

    APM has kerberos support builtin.

     

     

    This is documented here.

    Hope this helps.

    hi,

     

     

    thank you for your response.

     

    Yes, i have v11 & APM, but I don't understand how works ACCESS::user command :(

     

     

    I found something else :

     

    set client_username [ACCESS::session data get session.logon.last.username]

     

     

     

    And i work :D
