The ADC-as-a-Service / Cloud Load Balancer does not send the X-Forwarded-Proto HTTP header. However, we have one of our own that will give you the information you’re looking for as well as the IP address the user connected on. So while it’s not exactly what you’re looking for, it gets the job done with a […]
Enabling HTTP/2 support is quite easy in the Total Uptime ADC-as-a-Service platform. In fact, if you’ve deployed SSL within the last few years, then HTTP/2 support is probably already active and ready to go on your packs in addition to HTTP/1.1. In this article we’ll discuss a little bit about the history and benefits of […]
If you have ever worked on a farm or have done construction, you probably got used to carrying things. And you might have heard your supervisor say at some point, “Get it all in one trip if you can.” That’s the idea behind HTTP/2. Earlier versions of HTTP required multiple TCP streams to transfer the […]
Yes, the three HTTP monitor types do allow for host headers. A host header allows you to send the appropriate domain name with the IP address being tested. Often this is required if you have multiple websites behind the same IP, or if you have configured your website not to load by IP address only. […]
To close out January, we have released a few more updates in our effort of continuous improvement but to also complete one of the big items we’ve been working on for a number of weeks which we know you will appreciate! Here are the details: Enhanced 2FA: It’s finally here! After many weeks of hard […]
Persistence or Affinity is a function of load balancing where connections will be routed to the same device (service) based upon the criteria selected. Sometimes this is referred to session stickiness as well. This is configured in the load balancing dialog for your config/pack. Each persistence type has a time-out value which will keep the […]
Today we released version 18.1.0 of our cloud platform after many months of hard work on our part, and anticipation on yours. While there are over 120 bug fixes, feature enhancements and changes, the biggest change you will see is the new skin. It was time to update the look and feel of the UI, […]
When using an inline proxy like our ADC-as-a-Service or Web Application and API Protection service, you’ll often want to know the original client IP address for security, to track in your logs for stats or for other reasons. In our KB article entitled Getting the original client IP with X-Forwarded-For in your code, we’ve already discussed […]
Yes, this is absolutely possible, and recommended! To accomplish this, you will need to configure the “protocol” as SSL and map it also to SSL on your servers (both probably on port 443). This ensures SSL is maintained between the client and your servers, while still allowing you to take advantage of our SSL acceleration, […]
NOTE: This article covers obtaining the original client IP for logging purposes. If you need to obtain it for use in your code, check out this article. Because the Total Uptime ADC-as-a-Service acts as a proxy between the client and your device or server(s), you will no longer see the client’s IP address but one […]
