API Gateway supports Proxy Protocol in order to forward client IP address

Products

• CA API Gateway

Issue/Introduction

Does the API Gateway support TCP Proxy Protocol : https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/citrix-adc/current-release/system/proxy-protocol.html?

We need API Gateway to see and forward Client IP addresses, but we cannot use x-forwarded-for because this requires our load balancer to decode and code SSL stream making it an ssl end-point.

Environment

Release : 10

Component : API GATEWAY

Resolution

TCP proxy mode is not supported as Layer7 API Gateway name suggests, it's designed to operate at the Application Protocol layer (layer 7 in OSI model).
