To obtain the source IP address of the client rather than the self-ip/SNAT address of the F5, you must do the following:
- Configure the SNAT setting on the virtual server to none
- Configure the AD servers to use the self-ip address of the F5 as default gateway*
*The F5 will have to have layer 2 adjacency to the AD server(s). In other words, at least one F5 interface will need to have VLAN configuration on the same VLAN(s) as the AD server(s)

For future reference, web based applications can obtain the true client IP address by way of the x-forwarded-for header. This approach eliminates the need for network reconfiguration:
