passing OWA Light selection to Exchange 2010

The standard logon form provided with Outlook Web App (OWA) for Exchange 2010 contains a radio button for Premium versus Light mode. Most users, provided they are using a web browser that supports the full feature set of OWA will default to Premium mode. However, some users who require that OWA be optimized for accessibility, such as for users who are blind or have low vision, will click on the Light mode radio button on the OWA logon form. With the Big-IP LTM/APM in the mix, users are not provided this option on the F5 logon form. Is there a way to provide this option using the F5? How do I specifically display an option on the F5 logon screen that lets the user select either OWA premium or light mode and have APM pass this selection to the OWA application?

    Hi, there is a Tech Tip on DevCentral about customizing your APM logon page: http://devcentral.f5.com/Tutorials/TechTips/tabid/63/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/1086465/BIG-IP-APMCustomized-Logon-Page.aspx

     

     

    I imagine we may be able to do this for OWA mode as well, by using the WEBSSO::select command in the accompanying iRule to select an SSO that passes the parameter for Light mode. I'll see if I can set this up and let you know the results.

    Have just been asked by a client to look at this, just wondering whether you have any tips to share?
