Altostratusneed help on irules encoding
customer using BIGIP to do SSL acc, but they need insert the DN of client cert to request http header. we encounter the encoding issue there...
the original DN of client is:
CN=041@0110...
I download a program called ascii2uni from this website AND change its c code so that it will parse rfc2253 format strings, i.e. the output format of Bigip.
Find the tar file near the end of this webpage. http://billposer.org/Software/uni2ascii.html
Expand the tar file and use a text editor to change one line in ascii2uni.c from
int UTF8ValueP = 0;
to
int UTF8ValueP = 1;
Then ./configure and make.
The resulting executable is ascii2uni. I store the rfc2253 formatted string in a file called rfc2253.txt and invoke the executable with this command:
./ascii2uni -q -Z"\%02X" < rfc2253.txt > utf8.txt
The program will complain about "lacking the requisite final semicolon" but I check the string in utf8.txt and it is indeed in plain UTF-8.
