Maintenance Window with Security

Question

Regarding the irule discussed here: 
&nbsp; http://devcentral.f5.com/Default.aspx?tabid=63&amp;articleType=ArticleView&amp;articleId=70 
&nbsp;  
&nbsp; Is there any way to build some kind of client IP based security into the rule?  All of our admin traffic comes from 192.168.1.99 as far as the bigIPs know, so I would want to restrict the /enable, /disable etc. pages referenced in the irule to be accessible from that address only. 
&nbsp;  
&nbsp; Thanks! 
&nbsp; Kevin

Hi, 
&nbsp;  
&nbsp; you can do it by controlling IP addresses that are authorized to connect.

Thanks for the reply, I've got it restricted to traffic generated from a specific IP, is there any way to use the BigIP to password protect the /enable, /disable, /check, and /usage pages with username and password?  I don't think LDAP authentication will be possible but was hoping for some other method?
