SAML SSO - Secure Sideband Connections
Curious as to the community's thoughts on this.
I'm planning out a SAML SSO that will require data not contained in Active Directory (and thusly not able to be natively queried by APM). We've previously accomplished this with non-sensitive data using an http sideband connector in an iRule that's called by the Access Policy.
The proposed solution will potentially contain more sensitive data, so there's a requirement to secure it. However, I don't see an ability to use SSL connections with sideband connections. Additionally, I don't see any sideband options that natively support NTLM or other authentication methods.
Are there any thoughts out there on how to best accomplish a sideband connection that requires authentication and SSL?
