CirrusRedirection of a client request to anonther secutity server for an location validation
Hello All,
I was requested by an application team that they want to forward the reques from the client to an security server other than the webserver for the initial request from the client.
If the location of the client-ip address is in the allowed list of access then the security server will respond to the load balaner then the load balancer should route the request to the Webserver for futher processing of the request.
Else if the location of the client-ip address is not in the allowed list then security server will drop the session. Subsequently load balancer also will drop the session.
Would it be possible to achive this request through irule?
Regards,
Thiyagu
Vijay_EYou can use a data group on the F5 that contains the allowed list of IP addresses. Utilize an iRule to make allow/deny decisions based on the data group of IP addresses. The security server can be used to update the data group.
