X-Forwarded-For not working

Hey,

 

I have one armed architecture and enabled SNAT in my environment. Now we have enabled X-Forwarded-For under http profile which attached on F5 virtual server. Somehow, it is not working. Any idea? If any thing missing from my end?

    Hi  , have you done configuration on web server end? You need to do configuration on web server end also for extracting IP address from x-forwarded-for http header. I think, it seems to be missing here.

     

    Below link gives information on the configuration to be done on web-server end.

    Hope it solves your problem. Please keep us updated.
