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.

You 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).
