Passing Authenticated Header to SSLO

Hi all,

Starting to rollout SSLO in our organization and we are using the architecture Explicit Proxies ( Symantec ) -> F5 SSLO -> Internet. To simplify the introduction of SSLO we are keeping the authentication of our users on the Symantec proxies and passing headers to the F5.

 

We are able to insert header data this WITHOUT having to SSL Intercept via Symantec proxies ( which is pretty cool ) so the next step is to get the SSLO appliance to recognize these headers ( currently customer headername with auth user and clientIP ), use them when passing to services ( such as DLP / CAS ) and remove the headers before forwarding out to the Internet.

 

Pretty sure in theory this is all possible, just working through the implementation is where I am needing some direction :). Any interesting articles around SSLO have people seen ?
