If you have a listener with multiple modules policies applied, the order of operations is as follows:

 

Clientside: LTM, AAM, ASM, APM, PROXY

 

ServerSide: PROXY, LTM, ASM, AAM, APM, LTM

 

For your particular scenario, APM login triggers before ASM parsing, so the login page is not protected by ASM in a single-VIP deployment, but if you deploy a layered VIP, that's possible as well on a single BIG-IP.
