LTM as a Microsoft Proxy Server
Hi, just wanted to check with v11, if LTM can now acts as a full forward proxy server?
This includes internet proxy, username/pass, url filtering.
Can we integrate with a database that has dynamic url filtering? F5 will just be the enforcement point?
Any comments are welcome.
- TechgeeegNimbostratusHi Dyobbs,
- hooleylistCirrostratusLTM can function with limited capability as a forward web proxy using an iRule. But it's not a core feature. If you'd like to see this added to the product, you could open a case with F5 Support and make a request for enhancement.
- dyobbs_25515NimbostratusThanks techgeeng.
- TechgeeegNimbostratusHi Dyobbs,
- hooleylistCirrostratusWe can use an iRule to handle simple web proxy functionality like resolving the requested hostname to an IP address and handling the CONNECT request method. You could potentially handle database lookups using sideband connections. APM can provide advanced authentication.
- dyobbs_25515NimbostratusThanks guys for all the replies. Appreciate it. Let me check with F5.
