Anyone tested F5 as a adfs proxy?

[Mayur_Sutare]

Hey,

Currently we have deployed adfs using iApp template on our F5. Here F5 is just acting as reverse proxy and load balancing traffic between two of our adfs servers. Now we want to explore F5 as ADFS proxy option. Is anyone have worked on this or tested in LAB setup?

Need your suggestions on this. I am very clear about configuration part. But need few more information like pros/cons of this deployment or anyone faced any kind of issues under this setup?

Hi,

It depending on the function that you need to enable on F5. I suggest to read all the things from https://www.f5.com/content/dam/f5/corp/global/pdf/deployment-guides/microsoft-adfs-dg.pdf

Hi,

My experience is F5 LTM load balancing ADFS proxy for customer. I think design & solution might be different.

Okay, I have also worked on kind of setup where we are load balancing 3 windows based adfs proxy on F5 LTM. Now we are planning to use F5 acting as ADFS proxy.

I'll check few docs on it and update here also if i get some stuff. Thanks for your responses.
