Bypass maintenance page

Help!

Thank you for your quick reply @lukastribus

You don’t have any persistence configured, so forcing persistence is not going to achieve anything.

This explains everything. So force-persist isn’t exactly what I’m looking for.

Here the ACLs I was testing with:

    acl from_authorized_ip src 192.168.1.11/32
    acl from_authorized_ip src 10.0.0.23/32
    acl has_bypass_cookie_true hdr_sub(cookie) -i BYPASS_MAINTENANCE=true
    force-persist if from_authorized_ip or has_bypass_cookie_true

I finally decided to use a “maintenance” backend:

frontend http
   ...
   acl ...
   #use_backend maintenance unless from_authorized_ip or has_bypass_cookie_true
   use_backend app

backend maintenance
   errorfile 503 /data/shared/maintenance/http/503.http

For the moment, I un/comment the line, but I plan to use a value in a file to trigger it.
