Support for XFF Translation

When a user accesses a Web application through, for example, a proxy server, if the proxy server belongs to a different subnet than the clients it proxies, the management console incorrectly reports the Web application traffic from the proxy server’s corresponding client network rather than the actual client network.

If the proxy server uses XFF, you can enable XFF translation in the CA Application Delivery Analysis Manager to extend monitoring support for Web applications and report the Web application traffic from the actual client network rather than the proxy server’s corresponding client network.

Enabling XFF translation consumes additional resources on each CA Standard Monitor. By default, the CA Application Delivery Analysis Manager does not perform XFF translation.
