Leverage F5 BIG-IP APM and Azure AD Conditional Access Easy button

Table of Contents

Introduction

Starting with F5 BIG-IP Access Policy Manager v16.1, users are now able to select Conditional Access Policies created at Microsoft EntraID (Previously called AzureAD) and simplify this integration.

Conditional Access policies at their simplest are if-then statements, those if statements can be based on users, identities or applications.

For more details on conditions and actions at Microsoft EntraID (Previously called AzureAD), please refer to Microsoft Entra Conditional Access: Zero Trust Policy Engine - Microsoft Entra ID | Microsoft Learn

This article is based on a great demo created by  @Matt_Dierick

Is this only available for 16.1 or if the guided configurations are updated to latest version can this be used on 15.1 ?

Hey @Nikoolayy1 , in case you are running 15.1.3+ you can do that, here’s the support matrix for the guided configurations support.

I got you some samples from before 15.1.3

Once we go beyond 15.1.3+ (below shot from 15.1.5)

So the support started with 16.1.0 and the compatibility is extended till 15.1.3+ with the latest guided configuration.

I hope that helps :slightly_smiling_face:
