Hi,

 

Native RDP is not very secure, because of it we are using comunication via HTTPS. Is there any different type of authentication instead of NTLM, when I want to use F5 as RDP GW ?

Hello, as of right now the only option is NTLM ( I believe this is a MS limitation at this time). That solution was developed before APM supported Native RDP which why I suggested Native RDP in version 13.1 and above. Even if you use Native RDP the traffic will still go over the HTTPS connection to APM or am I not understanding your concern here?

 

Also if you look at the APM Operations Guide, Table 5.1, here is a comparison of the options:
