X-Forwarded-For 10

Hello,
I want to add "X-Forwarded-For" on the load balancer ADC. Please direct me to where I can add it.
Thank you,

Thanks for everyone

To add the X-Forwarded-For header on a load balancer ADC, you will need to follow the steps below:

    Identify the load balancer ADC that you want to add the header to. This may vary depending on the specific load balancer ADC that you are using.
    Log in to the load balancer ADC's management console.
    Navigate to the section of the management console where you can configure HTTP headers. This may also vary depending on the specific load balancer ADC that you are using.
    Create a new HTTP header with the name "X-Forwarded-For" and the value of "CLIENT.IP.SRC".
    Bind the new HTTP header to the appropriate virtual servers. This will ensure that the header is added to all incoming requests that are forwarded to those virtual servers.

Here are some specific instructions for adding the X-Forwarded-For header on some popular load balancer ADCs:

    Citrix ADC:

    Go to Traffic Management > Load Balancing > Virtual Servers.
    Select the virtual server that you want to add the header to.
    Click the Edit icon.
    In the HTTP tab, click the Add button.
    In the Header Name field, enter "X-Forwarded-For".
    In the Header Value field, enter "CLIENT.IP.SRC".

If you are using Sangfor ADC , to add the X-Forwarded-For header , follow these steps:

1.    Log in to the Sangfor load balancer ADC.
2.   Navigate to Configuration > Server Load Balancing > Service Groups.
3.    Select the service group that you want to add the X-Forwarded-For header to.
4.    Click Edit.
5.    Under Advanced Settings, click HTTP Header.
6.    Click Add.
7.    In the Header Name field, enter X-Forwarded-For.
8.    In the Header Value field, enter the IP address of the client.
9.    Click OK.
10.  Click OK to save your changes.

Once you have followed these steps, the X-Forwarded-For header will be added to the HTTP requests that are forwarded to the backend servers.

When configuring the "X-Forwarded-For" header on your load balancer ADC, access the ADC management interface using either a web browser or an SSH client, depending on your setup. Within the interface, locate the section related to HTTP profiles or policies, where modifications to HTTP headers can be made. Here, you'll find an option to add custom headers. Add the "X-Forwarded-For" header along with the appropriate value, typically representing the original client's IP address. After making these changes, ensure to save and apply the configuration. It's crucial to test the configuration afterward to confirm that the "X-Forwarded-For" header is being added correctly to the HTTP requests sent to the backend servers. If you're uncertain about the specific steps for your ADC model, consult the official documentation provided by the manufacturer for detailed and tailored instructions.
