APM HTTP auth

PeterM

Hi,

I am trying to do form based HTTP authentication. Form method is POST. I did wireshark (when connecting to server directly) and HTML form includes:

username

password

_token

submit

 

Username and password is OK. Submit is sent empty. The problem I have is with parameter _token. This parameter is taken from HTML response when entering the site:   <meta name="csrf-token" content="MrMacUlmD6vlcdZsuVP8csCakwAwXXgqaDqaIO1Q">\n and sent back during the authentication.

 

My question is: how get the token variable to the POST? Using iRules? Or is there easier way of doing it?

 

thank you

there are two types of form based SSO (you are doing SSO right?)

 

you might want the client initiated one, there you wouldnt have to worry about the csrf-token issue

Hi, no, I used Access -> Authentication -> HTTP. But if SSO is better then I use it.

I am using form based SSO, and I tried pass csrf_token as hidden parameter, still I am getting 403 forbidden error - CSRF verification failed. Request aborted. 

Hidden parameters - csrf_token submit
