Also you may try API protection profile as I think you are getting redirection based on APM login page or something like that. You can't use client cert but oauth access token is something similar as this is only what you have:

The oauth server can still accept the client ssl cert before giving the token:

-----------------

When configuring On-Demand certification authentication in a

per-request policy

, avoid having any other agent before the On-Demand Cert Auth agent if the client SSL profile on the virtual server has the

Client Certificate

field set to

ignore

. This configuration makes the per-request policy re-execute the subroutine when it reaches the On-Demand Cert Auth agent. This can cause the per-request policy to go to the unexpected branch on each agent located before On-Demand Cert Auth agent.
