X-forwarded Http irule

Hi,   I'm able to get the user IP through X-forwarded Rule, is there any way we can forward the user details (Hostname/Username) to the backend Web servers.

X-FORWARDER-FOR is the header where the Client IP should be inserted, assuming that you enabled X-FORWARDED-FOR on the HTTP profile. The developers of the Web Servers will need to right custom code to pull it out I believe but it's in the header, X-FORWARDED-FOR.
