Thanks blwavg - the exchange 2010/2013 deployment guide has said that I must use forms based authentication when using APM. Hopefully your links will show me another way.
- blwavg_10621Nov 19, 2013NimbostratusYou do not have to use Forms based authentication. I have participated in a deployment that uses basic auth (although I would not recommend). It takes some trickery to make it work, but it is possible. It is just not recommended by F5. Kerberos does not actually pass user credentials though. So if the application requires a user name and password, the Kerberos method may not work, unless it is possible to allow the exchange environment to accept kerberos tickets. The F5 can also be designated to sign those tickets (but I think you have to buy a license for that).
- Wolf46_144992May 28, 2014NimbostratusHi blwavg, Do you know how "Basic Authentication" can be made to work in this case please? We are currently testing some deployments using our new F5's and would like to use Basic Authentication.
