Dears, Can someone tell what is the issue here as the BIG IP is reporting the illegal metacharacter "#" in parameter name but the highlighted part of the violation doesnt contain metacharacter # in the first place and the parameter which BIG IP displayed in the highlighted part is actually not a parameter. I believe the issue is with the BIG IP only. Any suggestions here, please? I think issue is that BIG IP is not paring the Json payload properly8Views0likes1CommentAgentic AI with F5 BIG-IP v21 using Model Context Protocoland OpenShift
Introduction to Agentic AI Agentic AI is the capability of extending the Large Language Models (LLM) by means of adding tools. This allows the LLMs to interoperate with functionalities external to the LLM. Examples of these are the capability to search a flight or to push code into github. Agentic AI operates proactively, minimising human intervention and making decisions and adapting to perform complex tasks by using tools, data, and the Internet. This is done by basically giving to the LLM the knowledge of the APIs of github or the flight agency, then the reasoning of the LLM makes use of these APIs. The external (to the LLM) functionality can be run in the local computer or in network MCP servers. This article focuses in network MCP servers, which fits in the F5 AI Reference Architecture components and the insertion point indicated in green of the shown next: Introduction to Model Context Protocol Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a universal connector between LLMs and tools. Without MCP, it is needed that the LLM is programmed to support the different APIs of the different tools. This is not a scalable model because it requires a lot of effort to add all tools for a given LLM and for a tool to support several LLMs. Instead, when using MCP, the LLM (or AI application) and the tool only need to support MCP. Without further coding, the LLM model automatically is able to use any tool that exposes its functionalities through MCP. This is exhibit in the following figure: MCP example workflow In the next diagram it is exposed the basic MCP workflow using the LibreChat AI application as example. The flow is as follows: The AI application queries agents (MCP servers) which tools they provide. The agents return a list of the tools, with a description and parameters required. When the AI application makes a request to the AI model it includes in the request information about the tools available. When the AI model finds out it doesn´t have built-in what it is required to fulfil the request, it makes use of the tools. The tools are accessed through the AI application. The AI model composes a result with its local knowledge and the results from the tools. Out of the workflow above, the most interesting is step 1 which is used to retrieve the information required for the AI model to use the tools. Using the mcpLogger iRule provided in this article later on, we can see the MCP messages exchanged. Step 1a: { "method": "tools/list", "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 2 } Step 1b: { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 2, "result": { "tools": [ { "name": "airport_search", "description": "Search for airport codes by name or city.\n\nArgs:\n query: The search term (city name, airport name, or partial code)\n\nReturns:\n List of matching airports with their codes", "inputSchema": { "properties": { "query": { "type": "string" } }, "required": [ "query" ], "type": "object" }, "outputSchema": { "properties": { "result": { "type": "string" } }, "required": [ "result" ], "type": "object", "x-fastmcp-wrap-result": 1 }, "_meta": { "_fastmcp": { "tags": [] } } } ] } } Note from the above that the AI model only requires a description of the tool in human language and a formal declaration of the input and output parameters. That´s all!. The reasoning of the AI model is what will make good use of the API described through MCP. The AI models will interpret even the error messages. For example, if the AI model miss-interprets the input parameters (typically because of wrong descriptor of the tool), the AI model might correct itself if the error message is descriptive enough and call the tool again with the right parameters. Of course, the MCP protocol is more than this but the above is necessary to understand the basis of how tools are used by LLM and how the magic works. F5 BIG-IP and MCP BIG-IP v21 introduces support for MCP, which is based on JSON-RPC. MCP protocol had several iterations. For IP based communication, initially the transport of the JSON-RPC messages used HTTP+SSE transport (now considered legacy) but this has been completely replaced by Streamable HTTP transport. This later still uses SSE when streaming multiple server messages. Regardless of the MCP version, in the F5 BIG-IP it is just needed to enable the JSON and SSE profiles in the Virtual Server for handling MCP. This is shown next: By enabling these profiles we automatically get basic protocol validation but more relevantly, we obtain the ability to handle MCP messages with JSON and SSE oriented events and functions. These allows parsing and manipulation of MCP messages but also the capability of doing traffic management (load balancing, rate limiting, etc...). Next it can be seen the parameters available for these profiles, which allow to limit the size of the various parts of the messages. Defaults are fine for most of the cases: Check the next links for information on iRules events and commands available for the JSON and SSE protocols. MCP and persistence Session persistence is optional in MCP but when the server indicates an Mcp-Session-Id it is mandatory for the client. MCP servers require persistence when they keep a context (state) for the MCP dialog. This means that the F5 BIG-IP must support handling this Mcp-Session-Id as well and it does by using UIE (Universal) persistence with this header. A sample iRule mcpPersistence is provided in the gitHub repository. Demo and gitHub repository The video below demonstrate 3 functionalities using the BIG-IP MCP functionalities, these are: Using MCP persistence Getting visibility of MCP traffic by logging remotely the JSON-RPC payloads of the request and response messages using High Speed Logging. Controlling which tools are allowed or blocked, and logging the allowed/block actions with High Speed Logging. These functionalities are implemented with iRules available in this GitHub repository and deployed in Red Hat OpenShift using the Container Ingress Services (CIS) controller which automates the deployment of the configuration using Kubernetes resources. The overall setup is shown next: In the next embedded video we can see how this is deployed and used. Conclusion and next steps F5 BIG-IP v21 introduces support for MCP protocol and thanks to F5 CIS these setups can be automated in your OpenShift cluster using the Kubernetes API. The possibilities of Agentic AI are infinite, thanks to MCP it is possible to extend the LLM models to use any tool easily. The tools can be used to query or execute actions. I suggest to take a look to repositories of MCP servers and realize the endless possibilities of Agentic AI: https://mcpservers.org/ https://www.pulsemcp.com/servers https://mcpmarket.com/server https://mcp.so/ https://github.com/punkpeye/awesome-mcp-servers

We are trying to deploy a VIP that will do SSL Bridging but also rewrite the fqdn to the server... So Client goes to https://www.example.com and is terminated on the F5 VIP and then send the traffic on the server as https://www.myexample.com with the F5 terminating both TLS connections. I have tried several profile combinations, but I see that the traffic going the server as the original domain and not being rewritten.

Introduction F5 Application Delivery and Security Platform (ADSP) is the premier solution for converging high-performance delivery and security for every app and API across any environment. It provides a unified platform offering granular visibility, streamlined operations, and AI-driven insights — deployable anywhere and in any form factor. The F5 ADSP Partner Ecosystem brings together a broad range of partners to deliver customer value across the entire lifecycle. This includes cohesive solutions, cloud synergies, and access to expert services that help customers maximize outcomes while simplifying operations. In this article, we’ll explore the upcoming integration between Nutanix Flow and F5 Distributed Cloud, showcasing how F5 and Nutanix collaborate to deliver secure, resilient application services across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. Integration Overview At the heart of this integration is the capability to deploy a F5 Distributed Cloud Customer Edge (CE) inside a Nutanix Flow VPC, establish BGP peering with the Nutanix Flow BGP Gateway, and inject CE-advertised BGP routes into the VPC routing table. This architecture provides us complete control over application delivery and security within the VPC. We can selectively advertise HTTP load balancers (LBs) or VIPs to designated VPCs, ensuring secure and efficient connectivity. Additionally, the integration securely simplifies network segmentation across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. By leveraging F5 Distributed Cloud to segment and extend the network to remote locations, combined with Nutanix Flow Security for microsegmentation within VPCs, we deliver comprehensive end-to-end network security. This approach enforces a consistent security posture while simplifying segmentation across environments. In this article, we’ll focus on application delivery and security, and explore segmentation in the next article. Demo Walkthrough Let’s walk through a demo to see how this integration works. The goal of this demo is to enable secure application delivery for nutanix5.f5-demo.com within the Nutanix Flow Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) named dev3. Our demo environment, dev3, is a Nutanix Flow VPC with a F5 Distributed Cloud Customer Edge (CE) named jy-nutanix-overlay-dev3 deployed inside: *Note: CE is named jy-nutanix-overlay-dev3 in the F5 Distributed Cloud Console and xc-ce-dev3 in the Nutanix Prism Central. eBGP peering is ESTABLISHED between the CE and the Nutanix Flow BGP Gateway: On the F5 Distributed Cloud Console, we created an HTTP Load Balancer named jy-nutanix-internal-5 serving the FQDN nutanix5.f5-demo.com. This load balancer distributes workloads across hybrid multicloud environments and is protected by a WAF policy named nutanix-demo: We advertised this HTTP Load Balancer with a Virtual IP (VIP) 10.10.111.175 to the CE jy-nutanix-overlay-dev3 deployed inside Nutanix Flow VPC dev3: The CE then advertised the VIP route to its peer via BGP – the Nutanix Flow BGP Gateway: The Nutanix Flow BGP Gateway received the VIP route and installed it in the VPC routing table: Finally, the VMs in dev3 can securely access nutanix5.f5-demo.com while continuing to use the VPC logical router as their default gateway: F5 Distributed Cloud Console observability provides deep visibility into applications and security events. For example, it offers comprehensive dashboards and metrics to monitor the performance and health of applications served through HTTP load balancers. These include detailed insights into traffic patterns, latency, HTTP error rates, and the status of backend services: Furthermore, the built-in AI assistant provides real-time visibility and actionable guidance on security incidents, improving situational awareness and supporting informed decision-making. This capability enables rapid threat detection and response, helping maintain a strong and resilient security posture: Conclusion The integration demonstrates how F5 Distributed Cloud and Nutanix Flow collaborate to deliver secure, resilient application services across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. Together, F5 and Nutanix enable organizations to scale with confidence, optimize application performance, and maintain robust security—empowering businesses to achieve greater agility and resilience across any environment. This integration is coming soon in CY2026. If you’re interested in early access, please contact your F5 representative.

F5 Application Study Tool is a powerful utility for monitoring and observing your BIG-IP ecosystem. It provides valuable insights into the performance of your BIG-IPs, the applications it delivers, potential threats, and traffic patterns. In my work with my own customers and those of my colleagues, we have sometimes run into permissions errors when initially launching the tool post-installation. This generally prevents the tool from working correctly and, in some cases, from running at all. I tend to see this more in RHEL installations, but the problem can occur with any modern Linux distribution. In this blog, I go through the most common causes, the underlying reasons, and how to fix it. Signs that You Have a File Permissions Issue These issues can appear as empty dashboard panels in Grafana, dashboards with errors in each panel (pink squares with white warning triangles, as seen in the image below), or the Grafana dashboard not loading at all. This image shows the Grafana dashboard with errors in each panel. When diving deeper, we see at least one of the three containers are down or continuously restarting. In the below example, the Prometheus container is continuously restarting: ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ docker ps CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES 59a5e474ce36 prom/prometheus "/bin/prometheus --c…" 2 minutes ago Restarting (2) 18 seconds ago prometheus c494909b8317 grafana/grafana "/run.sh" 2 minutes ago Up 2 minutes 0.0.0.0:3000->3000/tcp, :::3000->3000/tcp grafana eb3d25ff00b3 ghcr.io/f5devcentral/application-stu... "/otelcol-custom --c…" 2 minutes ago Up 2 minutes 4317/tcp, 55679-55680/tcp application-study-tool_otel-collector_1 A look at the container’s logs shows a file permissions error: ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ docker logs 59a5e474ce36 ts=2025-10-09T21:41:25.341Z caller=main.go:184 level=info msg="Experimental OTLP write receiver enabled" ts=2025-10-09T21:41:25.341Z caller=main.go:537 level=error msg="Error loading config (--config.file=/etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml)" file=/etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml err="open /etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml: permission denied" Note that the path, “/etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml”, is the path of the file within the container, not the actual location on the host. There are several ways to get the file’s actual location on the host. One easy method is to view the docker-compose.yaml file. Within the prometheus service, in the volumes section, you will find the following line: - ./services/prometheus/prometheus.yml:/etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml” This indicates the file is located at “./services/prometheus/prometheus.yml” on the host. If we look at its permissions, we see that the user, “other” (represented by the three right-most characters in the permissions information to the left of the filename) are all dashes (“-“). This means the permissions are unset (they are disabled) for this user for reading, writing, or executing the file: ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ ls -l services/prometheus/prometheus.yml -rw-rw---- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 270 Aug 10 21:16 services/prometheus/prometheus.yml For a description of default user roles in Linux and file permissions, see Red Hat’s guide, “Managing file system permissions”. Since all containers in the Application Study Tool run as “other” by default, they will not have any access to this file. At minimum, they require read permissions. Without this, you will see the error above. The Fix! Once you figure out the problem lies in file permissions, it’s usually straightforward to fix it. A simple “chmod o+r” (or “chmod 664” for those who like numbers) on the file, followed by a restart of Docker Compose, will get you back up and running most of the time. For example: ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ ls -l services/prometheus/prometheus.yml -rw-rw---- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 270 Aug 10 21:16 services/prometheus/prometheus.yml ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ chmod o+r services/prometheus/prometheus.yml ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ ls -l services/prometheus/prometheus.yml -rw-rw-r-- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 270 Aug 10 21:16 services/prometheus/prometheus.yml ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ docker-compose down ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ docker-compose up -d The above is sufficient when read permission issues only impact in a few specific files. To ensure read permissions are enabled for "other" for all files in the services directory tree (which is where the AST containers read from), you can recursively set these permissions with the following commands: cd services chmod -R o+r . For AST to work, all containing directories also need to be executable by "other", or the tool will not be able to traverse these directories and reach the files. In this case, you will continue to see permissions errors. If that is the case, you can set execute permission recursively, just like the read permission setting performed above. To do this only for the services directory (which is the only place you should need it), run the following commands: # If you just ran the steps in the previous command section, you will still be in the services/ subdirectory. In the case, run "cd .." before running the following commands. chmod o+x services cd services chmod -R o+X . Notes: The dot (".") must be included at the end of the command. This tells chmod to start with the current working directory. The "-R" tells it to recursively act on all subdirectories. The "X" in "o+X" must capitalized to tell chmod to only operate on directories, not regular files. Execute permission is not needed for regular files in AST. For a good description of how directory permissions work in Linux, see https://linuxvox.com/blog/understanding-linux-directory-permissions-reasoning/ But Why Does this Happen? While the above discussion will fix file permissions issues after they've occurred, I wanted to understand what was actually causing this. Until recently, I had just chalked this up to some odd behavior in certain Red Hat installations (RHEL was the only place I had seen this) that modifies file permissions when they are pulled from GitHub repos. However, there is a better explanation. Many organizations have specific hardening practices when configuring new Linux machines. This sometimes involves the use of “umask” to set default file permissions for new files. Certain umask settings, such as 0007 and 0027 (anything ending with 7) will remove all permissions for “other”. This only affects newly created files, such as those pulled from a Git repo. It does not alter existing files. This example shows how the newly created file, testfile, gets created without read permissions for "other" when the umask is set to 0007. ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ umask 0007 ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ umask 0007 ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ touch testfile ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ ls -l testfile -rw-rw---- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 0 Oct 9 22:34 testfile Notes: In the above command block, note the last three characters in the permissions information, "-rw-rw----". These are all dashes ("-"), indicating the permission is disabled for user "other". The umask setting is available in any modern Linux distribution, but I see it more often on RHEL. Also, if you are curious, this post offers a good explanation of how umask works: What is "umask" and how does it work? To prevent permissions problems in the first place, you can run “umask” on the command line to check the setting before cloning the GitHub repo. If it ends in a 7, modify it (assuming your user account has permissions to do this) to something like “0002” or “0022”. This removes write permissions from “other”, or “group” and “other”, respectively, but does not modify read or execute permissions for anyone. You can also set it to “0000” which will cause it to make no changes to the file permissions of any new files. Alternatively, you can take a reactive approach, installing and launching AST as you normally would and only modifying file permissions when you encounter permission errors. If your umask is set to strip out read and/or execute permissions for "other", this will take more work than setting umask ahead of time. However, you can facilitate this by running the recursive "chmod -R o+r ." and "chmod -R o+X ." commands, as discussed above, to give "other" read permissions for all files and execute permissions for all subdirectories in the directory tree. (Note that this will also enable read permissions on all files, including those where it is not needed, so consider this before selecting this approach.) For a more in-depth discussion of file permissions, see Red Hat’s guide, “Managing file system permissions”. Hope this is helpful when you run into this type of error.

Is your Public Key Infrastructure quantum-ready? Remember waaay back when we built the PQC CNSA 2.0 Implementation guide in October 2025? So long ago! Due to popular request, we've expanded the lab to cover the more widely needed NIST FIPS 203/204/205 quantum standards. The below GitHub lab guide will still walk you through building a quantum resistant certificate authority using OpenSSL but we've made some fun adjustments to reflect more real world scenarios. This guide currently covers: Building quantum safe certificate authority for FIPS 203/204/205 use cases Building quantum safe certificate authority for CNSA 2.0 use cases OpenSSL 3.5 parallel install for PQC-specific use cases OpenSSL 3.x + OQS library installation when you cannot update to 3.5.x. Why learn and implement post-quantum cryptography (PQC) now? While quantum computing is a fascinating area of science, all technological advancements can be misused. Nefarious people and nation-states are extracting encrypted data to decrypt at a later date when quantum computers become available, a practice you better know by now called "harvest now, decrypt later." Close your post-quantum cryptographic knowledge gap so you can get secured sooner and reduce the impact(s) that might not surface until later. Ignorance is not bliss when it comes to cryptography and regulatory fines, so let's get started.

We built more recent second guide for CNSA 2.0 but it's quite specific for US federal audiences. That lead us to build a NIST FIPS PQC guide which should apply to more practical use cases. In the spirit of Learn Python the Hard Way, it focuses on manual repetition, hands-on interactions and real-world scenarios. It provides the practical experiences needed to implement quantum-resistant PKI in production environments. By building it on GitHub, other PKI fans can help where we may have missed something; or simply to expand on it with additional modules or forks. Have at it! Frequently Asked Questions (FAQS) Q: What is CNSA 2.0? A: CNSA 2.0 (Commercial National Security Algorithm Suite 2.0) is the NSA's updated cryptographic standard requiring quantum-resistant algorithms. Q: When do I need to implement quantum-resistant cryptography? A: The NSA and NIST mandate CNSA 2.0 and FIPS 20X implementation by 2030. Organizations should begin now due to "harvest now, decrypt later" attacks where adversaries collect encrypted data today for future quantum decryption. Q: What is ML-DSA (Dilithium)? A: ML-DSA (Module-Lattice Digital Signature Algorithm), formerly known as Dilithium, is a NIST-standardized quantum-resistant digital signature algorithm specified in FIPS 204, available in OpenSSL through the OQS provider. Q: What is ML-KEM (Kyber)? A: Kyber is an IND-CCA2-secure key encapsulation mechanism (KEM), whose security is based on the hardness of solving the learning-with-errors (LWE) problem over module lattices. Kyber-512 aims at security roughly equivalent to AES-128, Kyber-768 aims at security roughly equivalent to AES-192, and Kyber-1024 aims at security roughly equivalent to AES-256. But quantumy (it's a word). Q: Is this guide suitable for production use? A: NOPE. While the guide teaches production-ready techniques and CNSA 2.0 compliance, always use Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) and air-gapped systems for production Root CAs (cold storage too). The lab is great for internal environments or test harnesses where you may need to test against new quantum-resistant signatures and such. ALWAYS rely on trusted public PKI infrastructure for production cryptography.
