UAG and F5

Does anyone know how to get the true client IP for someone connecting to the UAG? The source IP I get is the IP from the F5. I tried using the F5XForwardedFor.dll on the UAG, but that didn't seem to have any affect on it.

 

 

Thanks!

    Hi, have you enabled "insert X-ForwardedFor" on the http profile of the F5 virtual server? This should add the header to the request. Another option would be disabling SNAT on the F5 virtual server (if you have the UAG servers' default gateway set to the self IP address of the BIG-IP).

    Hi Mike,

     

     

    I created a duplicate http profile named http-test and enabled the insert X-ForwardedFor and applied it to the VS. The UAG still has the F5 IP (10.x.x.x) as the source IP on the UAG. Any other options I could try?

     

     

    Thanks,
