@Pal: I guess you misunderstand how it works.
This irule allow to support clientless authentication according to browser / office compatibility.
Without this irule, office apps (even libreoffice) can't edit online documents. This irule allow to use such applications to edit documents online by changing authentication method.
A persistent cookie is also inserted to allow office apps to download documents without reauthentication if both browser and app accept to share cookies. Until now, only Microsoft products allow such configuration (Explorer, Edge, Office).
If Apps can't share cookies, there is no solution.
