Shiraz,

 

Can you describe what they are currently using on the Firepass? This might help us give you a better idea if it can be done on APM today.

 

I agree with boneyard... Firepass is End of Sale and will be End of Support soon. I have already noticed that they aren't paying much attention to Firepass Development as we still don't have a fix for Windows 8.1 or IE 11 and APM had this fix over a month ago.

 

APM is the new SSL VPN/Portal/Application Access platform for F5. It is not an upgrade from Firepass as the system works completely different and has different functionality. The core concepts are the same just different on how they are implemented and the features supported.
