i-Rule Help: Authenticate based on Source Ip addr.

Folks, I am new to the BIGIP and i-Rule world.

 

 

I need to achieve following using an i-Rule

 

 

- When Client is connected

 

-Check the Source IP address

 

-if the source IP address is from 172.16.x.x/24 range

 

- Display the Autentication page in Client's browser asking username and

 

password.

 

- after the authentication reply is received from client

 

- pass the authentication to the webserver

 

- if server authenticates it successfully, redirect the traffic to the right pool and serve the web content.

 

 

Please correct me if I am wrong

 

 

I need two different pools one serving the actual traffic and other hosting the authentiation page.

 

 

Could some one explain me how could I achieve this using an i-rule and what other elements (pool etc) are required to be configured??

 

 

Thanks in Advance.

 

 

Best Regards,
