My LTM is set to rewrite. I made a change to the rewrite rule on my LTM, and still could not get the SSO to work. However, I discovered that the server is set to rewrite as well, in order to hide the real server name.
Now it comes down to this: who does the rewriting? It seems inefficient to have a DNS A-record dev.example.com point to the LTM, the LTM pass the traffic to devserver01/02, who then rewrites to the A-record that already points at the LTM.
This is going to be the first server put behind my LTMs. Should I take the rewriting function off the servers and put that responsibility on the LTM exclusively?
