F5 APM as an authentication web proxy
Hi,
I'm new to F5 and have questions about integrating with Azure ACS as authentication provider (AP) for our SharePoint 2010/2013 based extranet solution. I've read in bits and pieces that Azure ACS follows WIF (Windows Identity Foundation) and relies on WS_Federation protocol for SAML based authentication and not SAMLP which is currently used by F5. If that holds true then this scenario makes F5 web proxy not a workable solution for any Azure ACS based SharePoint system.
Can you share your experiences in using ACS for a SharePoint solution using F5 APM web proxy.
Thanks in advance
