The ICAP interface will differentiate these services by a unique URL, similar to an HTTP URL. An ICAP server will also often differentiate request traffic from response traffic, thus this setting will set the URL path for response traffic flows (server to client).

With this feature, a BIG-IP virtual server can conditionally forward HTTP requests to a pool of Internet Content Adaptation Protocol (ICAP) servers for modification, before sending the request to a web server. In this implementation, you create a standard HTTP virtual server and pool of web servers for processing client requests.

An ICAP inspection service enables SSL traffic to be processed by an external ICAP server. It can be defined as a load-balanced set of multiple ICAP devices on the same IP subnet. SSL Orchestrator acts as the ICAP client, encapsulating packets and directing the traffic to a listening IP address and port on the ICAP server.

2016年7月29日 · You can configure the BIG-IP ASM system to check requests for viruses by configuring the system to connect with an Internet Content Adaptation Protocol (ICAP) server. When you configure antivirus protection, the system connects to an external ICAP server and prompts the server to inspect file uploads and attachments for viruses before releasing ...

iRules commands and events enables the usage of ICAP (Internet Content Adaptation Protocol) servers to modify HTTP requests and responses. . The ICAP* events can take any ICAP, SSL, TCP, or IP commands, except:

2023年7月14日 · F5 Adapt profiles support some iRule events and iRule commands like "ADAPT_REQUEST_HEADERS" that allow you to return different response pages, based on the HTTP headers that the ICAP server sends to the F5 device.

2024年10月15日 · ICAP server configured and "Anti-Virus Protection" enabled on ASM policy; Cause. Communication with the ICAP server may fail due to a large amount of lost packets and the associated required retransmits. Recommended Actions. Check the network path between the BIG-IP and the ICAP server and eliminate lost or out-of-order packets as much as possible.

With this feature, a BIG-IP system virtual server can conditionally forward HTTP requests and HTTP responses to a pool of Internet Content Adaptation Protocol (ICAP) servers for modification, before sending a request to a web server or returning a response to the client system.

2015年6月8日 · Starting in BIG-IP 11.3.0, you can configure an internal virtual server to load balance requests and/or responses to a pool of ICAP servers for content adaptation before returning the modified content to their intended destinations.

An integrated F5 and OPSWAT MetaDefender solution solves these two SSL/TLS challenges. F5® BIG-IP® SSL Orchestrator® centralizes SSL/TLS inspection across complex security architectures, enabling flexible deployment options for decrypting and re-encrypting user trafic.
