I don't think it's supported.

 

ASM is a web app firewall....

 

how are you getting the JMS messages? usually it's t3 or some other proprietary protocol anyways...

 

thx

    Thanks, JPV! Our team set up a transparent proxy and routed all JMS messages of the JMS server to the F5 before forwarding these messages to their final destination. But, our problem is we cannot configure a security policy for the F5 ASM to scan these JMS messages.

    as JPV says, ASM is mainly a HTTP/HTTPS firewall, it does XML, JSON, FTP and SMTP but that is it. not JMS.

    Is there official F5 ASM documentation on what protocols are supported? I have incoming traffic (HTTPS and JMS) that needs to be inspected. I know JMS is TCP based and can have different implementations.

     

    Thanks, Eugene Kennedy

    not really sure of a clear list in the documentation, but JMS is so different then the things it does support so i still say it isn't supported.
