Hello Stanislas,

 

Thanks for your reply. I did not know that only microsoft products allowed the sharing of Cookies.

 

So then i understand that the form authentication that triggers from Safari/Office for Mac when accessing documents on SharePoint is expected. But when i complete the login/authentication I recieve the message: "Good work, you are authenticated". But it does not trigger the download/access to the requested document/resource. If I try to open the document one more time nothing happens.

 

I understand that this might not be related to the iRule at all. This could be a LTM/APM/Sharepoint 2016/Safari/Office for Mac or OS X issue. But does that make any sense to you? Appreciate any help!

 

And another question: Should I use Persistent Cookie on the access profile itself in addition to your iRule?

 

Thanks again!
