Using APN to check the browser type and version in APM

I am trying to create an access profile that checks for the browser being used to access my Internet facing application. If the access is not using the supported browser, then I wan to display an information message. I need to know what is being used in the active session and not what is loaded on the users system. My assumption is that this would be an object before the login. It would then branch to a message screen that informs the user they have a non-supported browser (IE or Chrome) or version (IE 10 or better).

    You should be able to test the user agent string for the browser being used.

     

    The BIG-IP APM system uses the information it obtains from the User-Agent (session variable session.user.agent), extracting the user's browser type and operating system.
