what TMOS version are you using? and which platform?

 

in principle i would say use the APM module, it isn't free and will require extra configuration but is the future proof method for adding authentication on the BIG-IP platform.

 

the PAM module seems to be the authentication profile functionality from the virtual server configuration. i believe it can do some things, but this remains quite limited without buying the PAM addon which isn't for sale anymore i blieve.
