Sharepoint 2016 without APM shows only RO word documents

I have SP 2016 and we deployed it with iApp but not using the APM.

 

Everything works but the document only shows read-only.

 

Then when I use the SP without f5 it works fine.

 

I saw many posts pointing to an irule for this same problem but that's with APM - https://devcentral.f5.com/codeshare/apm-sharepoint-authentication

 

How can I fix this problem if I am not even using APM in the first place.

 

We are doing SSL offloading and the backend is http only.

 

Thanks.

    The problem is not "APM or not APM"!

     

    The problem may be a sharepoint authentication issue through bigIP!

     

    What authentication is configured on sharepoint application?

     

    Do you have an authentication popup? or is it a form based authentication?

     

    If it is kerberos / negotiate, did you check that kerberos will work with the new IP address? (DNS A record moved to F5 VS, F5 VS configured as DNS PTR to sharepoint app SPN, ...)
