Actual Client IP in LDAP query via IRULE

I have received a requirement of getting actual client IP in "Secure LDAP" (port 636) query to pool member. LB is configured in transparent mode with SNAT Automap enabled. I have gone through other posts with the same query but didn't got much help.

 

No option to configure the server's gateway with LB floating self-ip. so the only option I am left with is IRULE. Any suggestions?

iRules
LTM

    Hi,

     

    The question is : Does LDAP protocol support real client IP inserted in the request packet?

     

    I guess it doesn't, so the only option is to manage server changes.

     

    One solution is to create a IPv6 network between F5 and server, then enable one-to-one IPv4 / IPv6 NAT with LDAP server defined with IPv6.
