AUTHENTICATING USER SESSION FROM 3RD PARTY APP AGAINST ACTIVE DIRECTORY

I have an application which has a link to BIGIP on its webtop. When the BIGIP app link is clicked on the webtop, I want BIGIP to verify user session coming from there before passing it on to the servers its loadbalancing.

 

If the user is not authenticated ( using his AD credentials), he should be redirected to the login page otherwise, grant access to the resource.

 

Please How can I achieve that with an iRule? Thanks

    why? the webtop is only shown to authenticated users i assume?

     

    you could look into Per-Request Policies to always do the check instead of only once, but i don't quite see why.
