May 06, 2010Need to see client IP when using SNAT and load balancing OID.
Hi,
Due to current network environment, our LTM requires automap SNAT. I've setup a virtual server to load balance OID servers. However we cannot see the client's real IP due to the SNAT. ...

Hi Victor, unfortunately, I don't see an easy way to do this with LDAP. The protocol doesn't support an easy way to add X-Forward-For type functionality. The only option that comes to mind, is that in LDAP V3, there is a way to use custom extensions, so you could write and iRule to use that feature, to insert the ClientIP. You would also have to write a process to extract that data from the LDAP server when the request was sent to the server. It might actually be easier to work with your networking team to find away to not use SNAT. You could try posting your question to a larger audience in the Advanced Networking forum and see if someone else has some ideas for you.
-Chris.
