I started my F5 journey as a customer in 2009 where I was first introduced to it as a "load balancer." I have since deployed and maintained all modules realizing the BIG-IP is so much more.

Great article. We finally got it working when the Citrix team starting to use the Federated Authentication Service (FAS) solution.
