We ran into this very issue several years ago. This is where we did not want to spend the extra $$ for a module on the BIGIP. The problem we encoutered was that the BIGIP didn't know when a client had successfuly logged in. So we decided that once the login page successfully authorized, the client is redirected the client over to HTTP.

 

 

So yes we found a solution, but it wasn't a bigip solution

 

 

As for your second question if you refering to monitoring then use you can monitor for strings in a page which is a common technique to use.

 

 

Hope that helps
