Bind a smartcard of a user to a local user on an SVN server

Hi All, I have a smartcard question. We have a visualSVN server that we want to use in the DMZ. I would like to use the APM if possible. Scenario: You launch the URL, If you use an employee account name you sign in with your regular credentials from AD and get a Duo push and you are in. As for the Smartcard users I need a way to look at the local SVN users and prompt for a their smartcard. The user will need to bind their smartcard to the local account pre-built on the svn server and then be able to sign in. The smartcard must not be AD integrated.

 

Reason: We need a way to get multifactor for our customers without having to add them as users to the Domain. Is there any way to make this happen with the F5 and a smartcard?

 

Thanks

    You would need to find an identifying factor unique to each smartcard. Extract that factor via iRule, have an event in APM to initiate the extract, then it would need to query the server using the unique factor, followed by associating A factor to B local user account dependent on unique i.d.
