Hi Stanislas,

you can't use locadb to secure the usage of

[ACCESS::user getsid $user_key]
within HTTP_REQUEST. Its only available within an APM Policy which is to late in the chain. Even then i think you will get much better results using iRules in combination with
[table]
.

Furthermore, my aged development strongbox is running on TMOS 12.0.0 with TCL version 8.4.6. Specifc 8.5 commands are not shown using

[info commands]
nor
[interp hidden]
comamnds. Also any new 8.5 syntaxes (e.g.
{*}
aka. nipple expand) are not available and the performance of
[info exists]
is still suboptimal.

You may try the code below on 12.1 to see if TCL8.5 is available on those plattforms. If not, then please open a ticket for me 🙂

when RULE_INIT {
        log local0.debug "TCL version : [info patchlevel]"
}

Cheers, Kai
