NimbostratusLTM reverse proxy for Lync security capabilities
Hello we are planning to use LTM as reverse proxy for lync mobile, however I can't find any document explaining how LTM is making lync more secure, is LTM able to detect DDOS attack and to prevent account lockout? Thanks for your help
Hello,
In fact, you are able to do reverse proxy (full proxy capabilities - tcp connection on each side not correlated)
You can add some offloading for error messages from the lync servers, you can add some security headers, you can restrict access to some specific uri and using irules you can protect against account lockout. (irule from devcentral named Lync_NTLM_Stalker_v1)
You can also protect against L3 to L7 DDoS attacks.
But, I don't remember that there is any official documentation explaining how to secure Lync services.
So, you can do plenty of things using the BIG-IP for SFB architectures
