NimbostratusF5 APM and external authentication
Hi all,
I am researching the possibility to include authentication and SSO of external users in a F5 APM/LTM solution. I have so far found support of SAML 2.0 in APM, but there are so few sites ...

CirrusStig,
What exactly is your use case? You're stating that you want external users to authenticate to your site. Where are these users coming from? What is driving the need to federate external identities? If we understand your use case and need a little bit better, we can provide more accurate guidance here.
Stig_88256Sorry if this is a bit thin, but I'm really in the investigating phase as this part is new to me (claims-based authentication etc.). This is a site at "company X" which today has ordinary AD Auth and SSO for logging into their pages. The company now wants to allow external users into parts of their pages. I'm not really too informed about the real reason for this, but they have asked me how this could be done and how the F5's would be involved. They want a loginpage with their ordinary login and a box with "login with xxx, yyy, zzz" where the x'es, y's and z's are f.ex. google, facebook, twitter etc.
