Since OctaGate Switch acts as an intermediate, the web server will not report the correct IP address of the client - it will always report the IP address of the OctaGate Switch server. However, OctaGate stores the IP address of the caller in a custom server variable called "OGCallerIP".
Note that if you're using ASP pages, you must refer to the header as "HTTP_OGCALLERIP".
OctaGate Switch adds three headers, these are;
| Server Variable | Description |
| OGCALLERIP | The IP of the actual client making the request. |
| OGORIGURL | Since OctaGate Switch can perform URL rewriting, it can sometimes be useful to keep track of the actual URL that the user requested. |
| OGHOPCOUNT | An internal header that OctaGate Switch uses to prevent users from creating circular references between domains. |
These are the results that OctaGate Switch have created for this session;
| Server Variable | Value |
| Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_OGCALLERIP") | |
| Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_OGORIGURL") | |
| Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_OGHOPCOUNT") |
Here's a list of all server variables that have been reported to this asp session;
