static website auth

Hi,

 

 

Is there a way to use the bigip to do static authorisation (one uname/pwd) for a group of virtual servers without using ldap/radius etc?

 

 

Regards,

    It's pretty straight-forward to have the BIG-IP inspect the request coming in and pull out the username/pass combo. If you simply wanted to store that in a variable in an iRule, you could do a check against it and allow/disallow the connection right there. If you wanted to get a little more fancy/secure you could insert an encrypted cookie and check for the cookie on all subsequent requests.

     

     

    So I guess the short answer is, yes, there is a way that you can achieve what you're describing, so long as you're okay with the necessary configuration.
