IIS 7 , WebFarm and ARR module

Question

I'm configuring my servers to work with WebFarm and the ARR module . I'm looking ofr implementing a functionality to use the ARR for versioning purposes on my system. Example : - I have N clients connect my Wcf service hosted on my Farm servers . - Client connects the service via WsHttpBinding. - Client user username / password authentication to use the service methods.

Username and password is the only way I can recognize which client I get in the server side . I want to control for example clients (1,5,8) to use the service on version 1 , and clients(2,3,4,6,7) to user the service with version 2.

Can I do it with ARR . I don't understand if there is an option to wire the username and password with the url rules.

I'm aware about the Wcf routing service , but I need a more generic control for routing , for example web sites and not only Wcf.

Answer 1

ARR uses Condition rules. I have not tested this myself, but you could try creating a rule on the field REMOTE_USER.
