Use DevTools in your browser to see what's going on client side. If not - then probably "tcpdump -vnni 0.0:nnnp -s0 -w /tmp/test.pcap" will give you the answer when analyzed in Wireshark :)

I removed the forwarding profile and instead just pointed the virtual server directly to the pool for the backed app. This removes the forwarding policy from the equation. With this configuration it has a slightly different behavior which my expose the issue a bit more. After going through the virtual server using the rewrite, I get to the backend application login page like before. After I log in, the page begins to render like it did before. However, this time a second login window pops up and the page rendering pauses as if it needs my login to continue. It appears that the authentication from my first sign isn't recognized. It appears some extra configuration may need to be added to handle the first authentication?
