Hello,

I am trying to put some condition to allow the API call from specific client IP . to achieve that I am trying to fetch the IP Address as follows , it's not working for me on APIC 10.X

session.ClientAddress == 'X.XXX.XXX.XXX'

A quick help is much appreciate !!!

Also if I want to debug on certain variables , how can I do that.

Regards,

Rajesh Swain

Hi,

You can retrieve and compare Client IP address like this: message.headers.x-client-ip == 'X.XXX.XXX.XXX'

This format was changed after API Connect v5.

I hope this helps. Please reach out with any follow-up questions.

Hi Rajesh,
See https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/api-connect/10.0.5.x_lts?topic=reference-api-connect-context-variables, the variable name has a lower case c not a capital C, ie, session.clientAddress.

HI All,

We working in IBM APIC SaaS Base Edition.

In both case where we specify message.headers.x-client-ip == 'XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX' or session.clientAddress == 'XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX', we get a syntax error.

However when we specify $apiCtx().session.clientAddress = 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' or $apiCtx().message.headers.x-client-ip = 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx', it works.

Thanks,

Paul

Hi Paul, 
Since the SaaS Base Edition doesn't support the GatewayScript policy, I'm assuming the syntax you're showing is from a switch conditional.   Switch conditionals use JSONata syntax where you'd use a single = equality operator, whereas the == is JavaScript syntax for an equality operator.  If you were to make that change, do you still require the $apiCtx() function?
