Hi Stanislas,

 

Thank you so much for your provided iRule. This is working great. Our only problem is getting it to work with Safari on Mac OS with Office for Mac (currently testing 2016). What happens is just like you describe. When your authenticated with Safari, and then try to open a Office document within SharePoint, this trigger the Office product (word, Excel, Powerpoint). But when the office application opens this trigger the access policy/authentication process within a browser - just like you describe. In reference to your last post - does that mean that this will not work with Safari on Mac?

 

Are there any customization that can be done to get it to work?

 

Thanks again.

 

Sincereley, Pål Andrè
