NimbostratusRedirects based on OS detection
Does anyone know if the F5s can do operating system detection and redirect to specific links based on the answer? If so could someone point me in the direction as to where to find information on how to set this up?
Scenario... Since Vista came out we have had to run two certificate servers in our domain. So when a vista user connects to the bigip VIP I would like it to automatically direct the client to the Vista certificate server, while all other requests go to the other certificate server.
Thank you...
- Maybe you can use HTTP header "User-Agent" to identify client type.
Hope this can help. - iRules doesn't contain any command that actually queries the client system. It only deals with network traffic/requests. The above suggestion is a good one, though. The User-Agent will often tell you what system the request came from. The only issue is then you have to trust that the user agent, which is easily spoofable, is correct.
