NimbostratusUser's session timeout and concurrent session (Layer 7) using F5 LTM
Hello,
I hope all is well :)
We want to control the user's session timeout and concurrent session (Layer 7) using F5 LTM; however, after researching the documentation, we couldn't find a way to do so except with APM. can you please advise on how to do so without APM?
Appreciate your corporation.
BRs,

Hi
I guess user's session timeout value relate to timeout value
and then concurrent session is using below irule
when RULE_INIT {
set static::maxquery 1
set static::holdtime 600
}
when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {
set srcip [clientside {IP::local_addr}]
if { [table lookup -subtable "blacklist" $srcip] != "" } {
drop
return
log local0. "abc"
}
set curtime [clock second]
set key "count:$srcip:$curtime"
set count [table incr $key]
table lifetime $key 600
log local0. $count
if { $count > $static::maxquery } {
table add -subtable "blacklist" $srcip "blocked" indef $static::holdtime
log local0. "excute"
table delete $key
drop
return
}
}
abdulmalekMuch appreciated neeeewbie, will test it and let you know! By the way, we have created an irule that removes all browser cookies after a specific time interval to address the timeout issue. it's working fine with us :)
when HTTP_REQUEST {
set now [clock seconds]
if { [HTTP::cookie exists lastrequesttimestamp] } {
set lastrequesttimestamp [HTTP::cookie value lastrequesttimestamp]
} else {
set lastrequesttimestamp $now
}
set cookieNames [HTTP::cookie names]
}
when HTTP_RESPONSE {
set threshold [expr {20}]
set lastRequestPlusThreshold [expr {$threshold + $lastrequesttimestamp}]
if { $lastRequestPlusThreshold < $now } {
foreach aCookie $cookieNames {
HTTP::cookie insert name $aCookie value bb
HTTP::cookie expires $aCookie 1
}
} else {
HTTP::cookie insert name "lastrequesttimestamp" value $now path "/"
HTTP::cookie attribute "lastrequesttimestamp" insert "SameSite" "None"
HTTP::cookie secure "lastrequesttimestamp" enable
}
}
