NimbostratusCall External Webservice for second factor authentication
Hello
We want to define an APM profile with two factor authentication. First of all, there would be an AD Authentication. After that, the APM would call an external webservice passing the username and session ID as parameters. The webservice responds with a token. Then, the APM shows a second logon page asking the user to provide the token, so that the APM can check that both tokens match.
We're trying to call the webservice with an iRule. Is is possible to call a webservice with SSL from an iRule?

If the token is provided based on the user's credentials the process you describe doesn't seem to meet the requirements for two-factor authentication as you'd be using the same factor twice.

I would think this would be possible with an iRule and Sideband connections. Have you made any further progress on this issue?
Maybe you could use HTTP Auth and use that to send the HTTP request to the OTP??
