How To Log The X-Forwarded-For HTTP Header Content In the Oracle iPlanet Web Server Access Log
(Doc ID 1403073.1)
Last updated on JUNE 20, 2024
Applies to:
Oracle iPlanet Web Server - Version 6.1 to 7.0 [Release 6.1 to 7.0]Information in this document applies to any platform.
Goal
The X-Forwarded-For HTTP header contains the originating IP address of a client connecting to a web server through a load balancer(or an HTTP proxy), since the load balancer acts as a proxy and thus all requests look like they are coming from the load balancer. So the default logging of the web server will log the load balancer's IP not the real client IP in the log. How can the logging be customized to log the X-Forward-For header that contains the original client IP address?
