http monitor (webpage logon)

I currently have the below http monitor used to verify that a webpage is present on all of the members of a certain pool.

 

Send String: GET /portal/viewLogin.eig HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: (host)\r\nConnection: Close\r\n\r\n

 

Receive String: Welcome to Active Directory Login.

 

 

This works fine but I want to actually be able to logon to the webpage and scrap off text. Is this something I can accompish without creating a custom EAV monitor? Below is the link I can use to logon to the page (removed internal info from link). Can someone help guide me through getting this to work? I have tried a few variations but have so far been unsuccesfull. Thank you.

 

 

http://(server name)/portal/ADprocessLogin.eig?adLoginId=(logon)&adPassword=(password)&domain=(domain)&start=Sign%20In

 

 

Environment:

 

BIG-IP 11.3.0 Build 2968.0 Hotfix HF1

    Soap, you may want to edit your post and remove the Host value shown in the first Send String.

     

     

    Regarding the monitor, can you do a packet capture of a login request and see if there are any other headers that might be related that will need to be presented in the monitor. Also I assume the login is a POST, not a GET?

    Okay, I tried the below string without any success. I will run the requested traces and also look at some more POST examples to see if I just have something wrong or missing below. Thank you for your reply.

     

     

    POST /portal/viewLogin.eig HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: (host)\r\nConnection: Close\r\n\r\nadLoginId=(login)&adPassword=(password)domain=(domain)

    I'd say it should look more like this, I don't see a need to split the URL up; 

    
POST /portal/ADprocessLogin.eig?adLoginId=(logon)&adPassword=(password)&domain=(domain)&start=Sign%20In\r\nHTTP/1.1\r\nHost: (host)\r\nConnection: Close\r\n\r\n

    What do you mean? Sorry, this isn't something I have supported in great detail in the past, but am really leanring everything from the ground up as I migrate everything from our old hardware that was running 9.4

     

    Below is the communications I see when performing a trace while logging into the site.

     

     

    Request, POST /portal/ADprocessLogin.eig

     

    Response, HTTP/1.1, Status: Moved temporarily, URL: /portal/ADprocessLogin.eig

     

    Request, GET /portal/displayApplication.eig

     

    Response, HTTP/1.1, Status: Ok, URL: /portal/displayApplication.eig

     

    HTTP Payload, URL: /portal/displayApplication.eig

    Hmmm, seems Nitass is right. Where is the login and password information? Doesn't look like it's in the request URL.

    The application group that wanted the monitor had given me that URL, which when plugged into the address window will log you into the site. I am trying to login and then pull something from the page to validate that the servers in the pool are functioning as they have been having issues where the application will hang up not allowing a user to login but the login page itself is present.

    OK, does it work if you paste the URL into a browser? Can you do a packet capture to really get the lowdown on what's what? The trace above is very low on detail.

    Yes, if I use the link in my first post I am able to logon to the page I need. Can't seem to add an image file without getting some editor errors, will just copy/paste instead....
