Reject access by username

Hi there,     I'm searching for a very simple iRule to reject access to a HTTP or HTTPS VS by username.     Is there any posibility to get this within some lines code?     Thank you ...

Hi, Manu.

 

 

Let's get a little information about your approach. How is the user being authenticated to the webservers? Do they type their username and password in a form, or are you using HTTP authentication (Basic or NTLM) to authenticate the user?

 

 

It is possible to do this in each case, but it would be far easier to just configure your web application to deny access to the specific username.
