UIE for Akamai True-Client-IP Header Persistence or source address persistence

All,

 

I'm looking into putting together a UIE which has an iRule that would persist to Akami's True-Client_IP if it exists and the traffic is routing from Akami. If the traffic is not from Akami, I need to persist it off of source address for 60 minutes. Trying to figure out how to piece it together.

 

**Akami request pulled from dev central *** *** Source Address persistence for 60 minutes, and is based off of calling a pre-existing source address persistence profile set to 60 minutes (source_addr_60) ***

 

**Below are the pieces I have so far, just trying to see if this is feasible.

 

when HTTP_REQUEST { set True_Client_IP [HTTP::header "True-Client-IP"] if { $True_Client_IP ne "" } { persist uie $True_Client_IP log local0. "[IP::client_addr]:[TCP::client_port]: True-Client-IP: [HTTP::header value True-Client-IP], persist record: [persist lookup uie $True_Client_IP]" } if { [persist lookup source_addr [IP::client_addr]] ne "" } { persist source_addr_60 [IP::client_addr] } }

    Can you try this?

     From: https://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/iRules.Akamai-True-Client-IP-Header-Persistence.ashx
when HTTP_REQUEST {
    set True_Client_IP [HTTP::header "True-Client-IP"]
    if { $True_Client_IP eq "" } {
        persist source_addr 3600
    } else {
        persist uie $True_Client_IP 
        log local0. "[IP::client_addr]:[TCP::client_port]: True-Client-IP: [HTTP::header value True-Client-IP], persist record: [persist lookup uie $True_Client_IP]"
    }
}
