Rules/Headers and Microsoft Sharepoint.

Hi All,

 

 

We are setting up a load-balanced cluster of SharePoint servers and have run into some errors. According to Microsoft (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;889652) If we do some header insertion we can get around the problems.

 

 

But, what they recommend doing is setting up different pools with different headrer insertion on the same VIP. Seeing as BigIP has the header insertion profile bound to the VIP and not the Pool, I figured I might be able to use some rules to check the source address and then decide weather to insert or not, and then pass onto the pool of servers.

 

 

So, basically, I'm look to do some header insertion via rules and source IP address...

 

 

I've also opened a ticket with F5 because some of the documentation recommends running 9.2 (I'm on 9.0 still) and what benefits an upgrade would get me...

 

 

Thanks.

    Well, you can certainly do header insertion via iRules. You'd make use of the HTTP::header insert command to do this, and could insert just about any data you like.

     

     

    You can search for header insert in the forums and I'm sure you'll find some examples.

     

     

    Or, if you give us a couple examples of the data you're trying to insert, and when you're trying to insert it, perhaps someone can help you turn that into examples of code.
