Folks, I am looking to use the F5 to act as an authentication proxy as follows: user ----> login screen (presented by F5) ---> redirect to radius server (2 factor) -----> response back to F5 ----> F5 redirects to webserver. Is this possible? Any pointers/help to this newbie appreciated in advance.

Hello, There is a default auth profile and rule which performs radius based authentication if you're licensed for advanced client authentication. The rule is called _sys_auth_radius and it's located in the /config/profile_base.conf file. Or you can also search this forum for "radius authentication" to find a few examples. Aaron
