Which method for sso and basic auth
Hi
New to F5, currently evaluating APM/LTM on virtual BIG IP
currently reading the implementation guide for exchange
our environment - single cas, owa,ews,ecp, activesync, autodiscover
plan, to deploy bip ip to provide proxy access to this server, for both single sign on from various applications for various exchnage services (Lync, outlook anywhere) and also support basic auth for the same services
what is the best implementation plan to follow in the exchange guide for a combined LTM/APM
currently i was thinking of going with option 1, LTM will load balance and optimize CAS traffic, however on exploring this further it seems I will be limited to forms based authentication, which is fine if it is restricted to the /owa iis folder.
is scenario 1 my best option given my LPM/ATM combination or would scenario 3 be better 3. BIG-IP Edge Gateway or APM will provide secure remote access to CAS, even though they are on the same box ?
just discussing at this stage and looking for input, whilst I kick the tyres.
Thanks
Andrew
