Hello,

 

can you clarify your question!

 

You want to LB an application. this application need authentifcation. Does the authentication embedded and managed by the application? What type of authentication is it (basic, form, header ...)

 

If your application embedded and managed authentification, it is potentially possible to bypass the authenticaiton (sso, irule that inject credentials, ...). The question is if you bypass the authentication how the user should be logged on the application? generic account? ...

 

Regards
