Andreas,

 

 

F5 solution takes security to the next level - since we proxy all the connections through the APM, customers expressed desire to have an enhanced level of control where existing ICA sessions for the user terminate when the APM session for that user terminates. That said, in your case, there is a very easy solution to your problem.

 

 

Our default iApp setting is to tie in Web Interface Logout action to the termination of the APM session. That is accompished by the iRule that is created by the iApp. All you have to do is uncheck "Strict" updates from the Application Service you deployed, and then remote that iRule from the Virtual server- and your applications will now stay active after you log off WI, since APM session will not be terminated.
