AltocumulusX-Forwarded-For merged into c-ip in the Logs
This isn't a directly F5 question, but we do use an F5. Anyway, our security team wants us to merge the X-Forwarded-For IPs into the c-ip column. Does anyone know how to do this in IIS?

NacreousHi,
The first one has content that shows what you need to do to send XFF header to the server.
The other two, may help you a way to read or replace XFF value on c-ip column.
Regards.
Kyle74My boss shot both ideas down.
Any idea if we can change the column location for the XFF? Maybe have it before or after the Client IP?

Hum, the ISAPI option was my choice on past.
Sorry, nothing more on mind at this time.

I think the best way is you confirm on your webserver log entries.
Capturing those headers on BIG-IP will just confirm that all was sent.

If I not wrong, this module replaces the c-ip original value, so, you are able to discard the XFF value on backend. Please, double check it :)
Cheers
