Hi

I need your help !

but client received page of "Please enable JavaScript to view the page content." when turn off javascript on client PC 

we don't using CSRF, ASM cookie, bot protection 

 

which ASM function send this page to client ? 

 

thank you! 

  • Hi neeeewbie,

    when you disable Javascript in the browser, the page says "Please enable JavaScript to view the page content."
    Do I understand that correct?

    In that case I would enable JS in the browser. Does the message change, if you access the page with or without ASM enabled?

      thank you

  • I would try to verify in first place, whether this message is sent by the BIG-IP at all. I would be highly surprised.
    My approach to analyse this issue would be to access the application:
    a) direct, bypassing the BIG-IP
    b) via BIG-IP without ANY ASM features assigned to the VS
    c) via BIG-IP with ASM features enabled
    Use Developer Tools in Browser for a, b and c. Compare. Look for error messages, 404, etc.
    Use tcpdump on F5 for b and c. Use the p flag to capture client- and server-side. Compare.

    My first guess would be, that maybe something is in the application that is preventing the JavaScript from beeing executed properly when the application is accessed via a reverse proxy.
