How do you perform an Authentication Bypass in APM VPE

Can you assign a static ACL to a VPE policy to bypass authentication(NTLM/Kerberos), the access policy is associated with an explicit forward proxy vip? or should Authentication be bypassed via iRule even before the request hits the access policy?

    You can do that within the VPE, you just need to define the logic you want. You can test for a condition, if true you send the user direct to allow, if false you perform the authentication.

    Hi,

     

    If you configure bypass in VPE, an access session will be created anyway!

     

    The best solution is to configure the bypass in irule.

     

    NTLM can't be bypass in VPE because it is evaluated before VPE! NTLM box only evaluate if NTLM was successful!
