POP & IMAP Username Re-writes
Hi all,
We're trying to re-write the username on an incoming POP3, IMAP, POP3S or IMAPS (using SSL offload for the POP3S & IMAPS) to append a domain to the username if none exists.
EG, if the customer's POP3 client sends: "user username" when authenticating we'd rewrite to "user username@domain.name" and pass on to the mail server, preserving any case. If they already had a domain name in the username, we wouldn't touch it.
Ditto with IMAP, where it sends "auth login username password", we'd re-write to "auth login username@domain.name password", but "auth login username@any.string password" wouldn't be touched.
I've had a search through the existing rules, but nothing shows up.
Any ideas on how we'd do this?
Thanks,
prk.

- Hi PRK,
- Thanks Hoolio,
- LTM doesn't currently support native parsing of POP or IMAP, so you'd need to handle this as raw TCP traffic. If you'd like to see F5 add this support, you could open a request for enhancement case. It would certainly make this scenario easier to handle if there were native events and commands for POP and IMAP.
