Nimbostratussession variable not being substituted?
As a second check to VPN access, I need to check the mac address of the machine against a database we have. I've set up an AAA HTTP server with a form-based http get that works when I specify an absolute value. the url I use is
http://server.full.name/infoserv/cgi-bin/computing/database/hardware/vpn/MacValid.asp?MacAddress=00:00:00:00:00:00but when I change it to
http://server.full.name/infoserv/cgi-bin/computing/database/hardware/vpn/MacValid.asp?MacAddress=%{session.machine_info.net_adapter.list.[0].mac_address}the session variable is NOT substituted but passed to our web server as "%{session.machine_info.net_adapter.list.[0].mac_address"
I've also tried %{session.client.mac_address} with the same result.
Is there some trick to getting session variables to work in the "form action" field?
thanks
See this F5 article SSO Config Session Variables
Bob_24115oh you're kidding! I can't use session variables in all fields?!
that seems unnecessarily restrictive.

You can do this by using the Hidden Form Values for the GET request as it will append the values to the querystring and you can use the session variables.
