Calling .Net application

Hi All,

 

 

Can the F5(irules) call .Net libraries?

 

 

Cheers,

  • HI Raymond,

     

     

    There isn't any such tie-in between iRules and .NET, so you cannot referenced a .NET library from an iRule.

     

     

    What are you trying to do?

  • Hi Aaron,

     

     

    I would like to call a .Net method or WS which accepts an input parameter and then return a boolean. Can the F5 do this? I'm not familiar with F5.

     

     

    cheers,

  • There isn't a way to call a .Net method from an iRule, but you might be able to make an HTTP call to a web service. Deb posted a useful article on this:

    If that's not in line with what you're trying to do, could you elaborate on what you're trying to implement?

     

     

    Thanks,
