Hello you guys
Need your help. I have an ACE architecture based on source-nat but I want to have the real source IP info on the destination real server.
For HTTP packets I can set up x-forwarded-for, but is there a way to do the same for other TCP protocols? And, just for the fun of it, UDP also?
Best wishes

Hi,
Sorry but this is not feasible with ACE. It can be controlled at software level itself but I am not aware.

Hi,
it is designed specifically for HTTP. ACE cannot insert the same to any other protocol.
Even if you look at the commands it says :
"insert-http x-forward header-value "%is"
which itself indicate that it is desinged for HTTP. This is a process of adding a header to HTTP message.
Hope that helps.

Thank you for the reply.
I'm aware that x-forwarded-for is for HTTP only, that was why I was asking for a equivalent: some protocol, script, trick that can manipulate the TCP header in order to help me identify the real source IP address (?)
