Secure a web service using APM

Hello Simon,

Check the "HTTP 401 Response" action. It will be useful in your case and you won't need to use an irule to make the 401 response.

Your VPE will look like this "HTTP 401 Response" + "AD AUTH" + ending allow or deny

From the HTTP 401 Response you can choose which auhtentication protocol you want to in the HTTP 401 Response Header.

Hope it helps

Regards
