Programmatically authenticate with F5 VPN
I have a question regarding a project I have that requires me to use the F5 VPN.
In short, we have the following:
- a PHP application on a server (Digital Ocean)
- this application needs to receive data updates every 30m from an external data source
- a database on a server managed by a different source (external to both our team and environments)
- to access this DB, we must first sign into the F5 VPN
What I'm looking for is a manner in which we can programmatically auth with F5 VPN so we can achieve a data pull programmatically every 30m per our requirements.
Any insight is greatly appreciated
Yes, so you could start them here: https://techdocs.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_apm/manuals/product/apm-authentication-sso-13-1-0/36.html#guid-c1b617a7-07b5-4ad6-9b84-29d6ecd789b4
And then likely looking into the following chapters for setting up as a Resource Server to authN for an API
