iRule - Combine HTTP::redirect and Basic Auth in HTTP header

[Gerald_Meese]

Hello,

I'm trying to adapt an iRule that would combine the redirect to a specific URI on the backend server, while sending Basic Authentication in an HTTP header to that backend server :

when HTTP_REQUEST { set logindata [b64encode "username:password"] HTTP::redirect "/internalURI" HTTP::header replace Authorization "Basic $logindata" }

Both commands work well separately, and I believe I understand where the problem is (the redirect sends a new path to the client while the HTTP header is added into the traffic to the backend) but I can't figure out how to get this to work.

Thanks in advance for your help !

Kind regards,

Gerald

You can try this code:

when HTTP_REQUEST { if {[HTTP::uri] starts_with "/internalURI"} { set logindata [b64encode "username:password"] HTTP::header replace Authorization "Basic $logindata" } else { HTTP::redirect "/internalURI" } }
