Pre-fill logon form (username) in APM?

Is there any simple (or not) way to pre-fill logon form in APM (username field)? The use case is for a registration site which redirects after successful registration to login page (APM). The new registered username can be parsed either from url parameter or cookie.

  • Yes. Set the variable session.logon.last.username with an iRule or Variable Assign action in the VPE. Then, on the logon page, set the Username field to be Read-Only. I use this technique when using an external two-factor authentication system. Works great!

    Setting the username variable Read-Only works fine, but as it is read-only the user cannot change the value in case he wants to log in with another username. Is there any way to pre-fill the username so that it can be overwritten if needed? --timo
