F5 LTM and Form Based Auth for OWA

We would like to move our OWA access to our F5 load balancers, and away from ISA. Everything is configured and working properly with the exception of my boss not liking the two box dialog that the F5 provides the users for logon, as opposed to our current form based authentication on ISA. Is there anyway I can use form based authentication on the F5 without purchasing APM?

    Rando,

     

     

    Which two-box dialog are you referring to? Are you using ACA module on the LTM in front of OWA? If you are trying to replace ISA with F5, then the only proper way to do it is by leveraging APM product - plus APM can handle authentication and session management for all Exchange HTTP-based protocols such as ActiveSync, OutlookAnywhere, etc.

    That's what I believed to be true. I wanted to make sure that there wasn't anything I could do with an iRule to substitute for a form logon screen. Thanks for your help.
