CirrusF5 Management Single Sign On
Hi,
I'm wondering if there is any way to sign into the F5 management web console with single sign on. I have SSO authenticating users for many resources behind the F5, but being able to authenticate to the web management console re-using my current authentication checking would be very nice. I would be using LDAP(Active Directory) for authentication.
Has anyone tried/accomplished this?
Thanks!

Yes. This is how you would configure an F5 APM to do it.
- BIG-IP® Access Policy Manager® Single Sign-On Configuration Guide specifically the "Form-Based Client-Initiated Single Sign-On Method"
With the HTTP form-based client-initiated method of authentication, when Access Policy Manager® detects the request for a logon page (URI, header, or cookie that is configured for matching the request), APM™ generates JavaScript code, inserts it into the logon page, and returns the logon page to the client, where it is automatically submitted by the inserted JavaScript. APM processes the submission and uses the cached user identity to construct and send the HTTP form-based post request on behalf of the user.
