Secure VCenter SSO with F5 APM

Hey folks,   hope somebody can get me the proper hint for this, we have a VMWare VCenter env, which we want to secure with F5 APM (Signle Sign On). The only way on Vcenter SSO is to configure ADFS ...

Reading this it looks like you can configure Vcenter as an OIDC Resource Server and OIDC Client. Then you could configure APM as an OIDC AS (using your AD as a directory source)

But if your directory is is Azure AD anyway, you might as well just use it as an OIDC AS directly instead of adding the extra APM step.

    Thanks for the suggestion, in the end we wanted to have everything on the F5 as we also want to have some special iRules applied on the Vcenter VS.

     

    But yeah this would be also a good idea to just connect VCenter directly to Azure AD and kick out the APM part, guess the LTM part with the VS should still work then. 

    Will try this out in the next days and come back to this
