F5 APM as IDP using Custom Page
Hello,
Currently we are trying to use BIG IP APM as idp provider. Please suggest how can this be achieved:
Currently our site is public. There is a login form embedded in the landing page. To access any protected resource user has to enter username. password that gets validated against the Database. If Database authentication is successful user can see the resources and links to external partners.
Our requirement: When authenticated user clicks on an external partner link we want them to access the partner site without prompting them to login again.
We can configure APM as IDP and SP. The challenge we are facing is how to set up the authentication in APM in the above scenario. Since landing page is unprotected, User enters credentials and when It clicks on partner link we would like to use already authenticated username and pass them to external partner (SP)
Any suggestions?
Thanks Msid
