Hi,

 

the modified iRule did not work. I still receive regularly 401 password prompts? Do you have an idea why these changes occur? When I disable all 401 requests, it seems to me that cert auth does not work either?

 

Kind regards,

 

Gilles

Yes, I'm aware of this. I finally found a way to remove the password prompts. I was related to the "OPTIONS" calls from the device where my iOS device seems to hang around.

 

I added as suggested in the post from "R Marc" (https://devcentral.f5.com/s/feed/0D51T00006i7aPXSAY) a static "OPTIONS" response from F5 to Exchange. This seems to have solved the problem. It is now 4 hours ago that I did the modifications in the iRule and I got no "Password Prompts" since then. So it looks ok.

 

The only concern I still have is that the "PUSH" of new mails does not look like it is working when the iPhone is locked. I'm not understanding still why the "PUSH" of new mails does not work.

 

But the problem of the "Password Prompt" is maybe solved.

 

Kind regards,

 

Gilles
