ldap query from within irule?

Hi,

 

 

Over time we are migrating users between two different mail systems both providing imaps.

 

 

I'm writing an iRule to hand users to a correct backend-server,

 

The information about what pool the client should be connected to is stored in ldap.

 

For now it all works - except the ldap-lookup-part.

 

 

The below query always return one value, and from that it is possible to parse information about what system the user is in.

 

 

ldapsearch -LLL -x -h ldap.server.se uid=username mailRoutingAddress

 

 

It seems that the tcl way of executing shell scripts and including external packages have been disabled... is it possible to re-enable it?

 

 

 

Best regards,

 

David Syk

    i understand it is possible by using either auth profile or sideband connection. anyway, i have not seen an example code.

     

     

    this is an article about the sideband.
