Need help with the Monitor

Hi,

 

I have the requirement with the health checks where in there an authentication layer (Something like Siteminder) between the F5 LTM and the webservers . Can i have a health-check which can first get authenticated with the authentication server and then send the health checks across the servers on the mentioned URI's?

 

One call to the Siteminder and the use the same session while performing the health checks for the pool members.

 

  • Never heard such kind of monitoring via LTM, but you can think some alternate way to check the Siteminder login status via CLI with external script.

    you can use HTTP/s monitor with sending authentication string.

     

    If your tool requires interactive authentication then you need to create external monitor do do it for you.
