form/windows base authentication

Hello Community,

Does any one know if it's possible to send login into sites that use form/windows base authentication? Or intercept credentials and manipulate them during IRules execution?

 

 

 

Thanks in advance.

 

 

 

Regards,

    Are you asking if you use AD / LDAP for access to the Management Console of the F5?

     

     

    If so, yes.

     

     

    You can configure it here:

     

    System -> Users -> Authentication

    I mean IIS basic authentication. Any ideas?

     

     

    Also thanks for the forms base solution.

    Your options for the Big-IP itself are:

     

     

    Local

     

    Remote - Active Directory

     

    Remote - LDAP

     

    Remote - RADIUS

     

    Remote - TACACS+

     

     

    They are all under the System -> Users -> Authentication Area.

     

     

    I do not believe that iRules are included in this, but someone did make a Basic Authentication iRule some time back, but if I am not mistaken the credentials it used where stored locally.
