Hi Guy,

Use this iRule :

when HTTP_REQUEST {
        Check the requested HTTP uri
       switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] {
              "/support*" -
              "/helpdesk*" {
                      Disable APM for these uri
                     ACCESS::disable
              }
              default {
                      Enable APM for all other uris
                     ACCESS::enable
              }
       }
}

Hope it helps

Please mark it as answer if it works

Thanks, we tried the above to disable the pre-defined access policy APM for a few URLs:

but it keeps asking the credential again and again, it can not pass the login. any idea? thanks

By default if you put an access profile on a vip, it suppresses all of the HTTP_REQUEST events until after the session is started.

You can turn that suppression off using this irule command:

The reasoning about why it's like this is so that admins can re-use "non APM" irules on an APM virtual and have them work without modification.
