APM Sharepoint authentication
Problem this snippet solves: Updated version to support Webdav with windows explorer after Nicolas's comment. APM is a great authentication service but it does it only with forms. The default behavior is to redirect user to /my.policy to process VPE. this redirect is only supported for GET method. Sharepoint provide 3 different access types: browsing web site with a browser Editing documents with Office browser folder with webdav client (or editing documents with libreoffice through webdav protocol) This irule display best authentication method for each of these access types: browsers authenticate with default authentication method (form based authentication) Microsoft office authenticate with Form based authentication (with support of MS-OFBA protocol) Libreoffice and webdav clients authenticate with 401 basic authentication Form based authentication (browser and Microsoft office) is compatible (validated for one customer) with SAML authentication Editing documents is managed with a persistent cookie expiring after 5 minutes. to be shared between IE and Office, it requires : cookie is persistent (expiration date instead of deleted at the end of session) web site defined as "trusted sites" in IE. How to use this snippet: install this irule and enable it on the VS.

f5 sharepoint tenacious session issue
Good evening! We are experiencing a security issue with our f5 sharepoint deployment. I have used the iapp f5.microsoft_sharepoint_2010, Software Version is BIG-IP 11.4.1 Build 608.0 Final The problem is that once a browser session is established, it will continue even though the browser is closed and even if the client is rebooted. When I call up the url of the sharepoint it will connect me without asking for authentication. How can I achieve that upon closing the browser the session becomes invalid? Thanks for advice! AlexTo Pre-authenticate or Not to Pre-authenticate
I’m bouncing around in the friendly skies, (turbulence sucks!) on my way back from the Microsoft Exchange conference and one question keeps rolling around in my head; how important is pre-authentication? Granted, it may not be a very compelling topic to most but with the recent announcement of TMG’s end-of-life, it’s at least relevant. Along with other remote access / pre-authentication solutions, including F5’s Access Policy Manager, (APM) many organizations from SMBs to large enterprises have utilized Microsoft’s TMG, (Threat Management Gateway) to provide external pre-authentication for a variety of applications such as MS Exchange and SharePoint. In a nutshell, reverse-proxy with pre-authentication, (aka remote access) solutions act as a secure doorway on the perimeter of the organization and prevent un-authenticated and un-trusted traffic from accessing resources residing on the private internal corporate network. Now to be honest, there’s not much debate in my mind around the value provided by pre-authentication at the edge of the Network. However, discontinuing the use of pre-authentication entirely in the light of TMG’s demise was proposed as a possible solution. Disclaimer --> This is not an official Microsoft recommendation but rather the opinion expressed by an individual presenter. It’s also important to mention that while TMG will no longer be offered as a product after December 1, 2012, mainstream support will still continue into 2015 which should give current users sufficient time to investigate and implement alternative solutions, (such as APM). Now with that said, I think it would behoove us all to quickly review some of what remote access solutions provide the organization before we tear the door off its hinges. Isolation of Internal Domain-joined Resources As I already mentioned pre-authentication resides at the perimeter of the organization’s network and provides a layer of security further isolating internal resources from external access. Rather than allowing direct access to the internal resource, (an Exchange CAS server for example), only authenticated and authorized user connections will be able to pass into the corporate LAN. To provide a multi-layered perimeter security solution this functionality can be combined with other security systems such as IPS and layer 7 firewalls. Multi-factor Authentication I’ll leave it up to you the reader to determine the value of multi-factor authentication. Regardless, whether it’s username and password, certificates, hard/soft tokens, pre-defined security questions, adaptive auth, or any of the other various flavors of authentication methods available; many remote access solutions provide a much more secure authentication mechanism than what can be natively found on most applications. This is especially critical when we consider the vast and ever-growing number of devices organizations need to provide access for as a part of doing business. Endpoint Inspection To dovetail onto the previous comment, providing a username and password is simply not enough. In the age of BYOD, (Bring Your Own Device), an organization should not only have confidence in who the user is that’s accessing the corporate resource, (Exchange via ActiveSync for example) but have confidence that the device used to connect, (smartphone, corporate laptop, personal tablet, etc.) adheres to corporate policies. Some remote access solutions provide a means to identify and evaluate the client endpoint as part of the authentication/authorization process. For example, (here comes a shameless plug), utilizing APM on the F5 Big-IP with LTM can provide a means to manage access to corporate resources based upon the device trying to connect as well as ensuring the approved device adheres to corporate policies for such things as AV status, OS versions, patch levels, etc.. A Strategic Point of Control for Application Delivery Pre-authentication / reverse-proxies provide a central point to administer access to multiple applications. Consider the alternatives. Without a reverse-proxy / pre-authentication solution access must be configured and controlled separately at each internal resource. All too often these internal resources, (such as Microsoft Exchange and SharePoint), are administered by different individuals or groups. What’s more, independent access control makes applying corporate security policy consistently a challenge to say the least. On the contrary, implementing an application delivery controller like the F5 Big-IP with Access Policy Manager provides a strategic point of control where corporate applications can be deployed in a secure and consistent manner. End-User Experience It’s not all about security. An application delivery controller that provides, among other things, pre-authentication can improve the user experience. Deploying applications behind the Big-IP with APM can provide single sign-on access as well as advanced application delivery. For example, once authenticated at the Big-IP users can access various corporate applications such as SharePoint and Exchange, often from a single namespace, while only needing to provide credentials once and often from a single namespace.

Sharepoint health monitors
Hey Everyone, I am currently load balancing two servers in my SharePoint setup. I am currently using the default "http" health monitor. Sometimes in the morning, one of the servers goes into an error and responds back with a 503 error. The F5 still sees the server as up and 50% of the people get the error page. I am looking for a health monitor that checks the ICMP of the server and also checks to see is the server responds back with a 503 error. If the server responds back with a 503 error I need the F5 not to send traffic to the server. In a perfect world I would also love to receive an email when this server shows a 503 response. I don't play with health monitors too often and was wondering if anyone out there could help me out. Cheers!Sliding session for "FedAuth" Persistent cookie delivered by ADFS
Problem this snippet solves: ADFS deliver persistent cookies that allow the user to connect to Sharepoint using WS-Fed. By default, the lifetime is about 12 hours and for security reason, should be changed to a lower value. This irule provide a 12 hours validity for the cookie but add a shorter timeout for inactivity. How to use this snippet: This irule change the default expiration time of the FedAuth cookie to a lower value. The expiration time is reset every time a user make a request until it reach the max expiration time. After the timeout or the max expiration time has been reached, the user is redirected back to the ADFS for authentication.

SharePoint Server Farm F5 LoadBalancer with SSL
Hi All, First off i should let you know that i am not managing the F5, I am posting here to maybe find out if error is caused from f5 config, if so steer the customer to fix their f5 config with regards to specific sharepoint settings. I have a 2x2 MinRole HA SharePoint Server Farm. 2 App servers, 2 WFE servers. I have had the customer set up F5 LoadBalancer with SSL being handled with F5. I have setup my alternate access mapping as follows. public url is the dns set up for f5. and in internal urls i have added http/s version of app server, and the two web servers. https://i.hizliresim.com/CiSVLD.png As for problems I have faced, I found out when i want to pick a date from calendar the widget is not loaded from server. It throws a x-frame set to deny error. https://i.hizliresim.com/ezYNAZ.png One other problem i found out is that workflows dont work and throw an ssl connection can not be established error. https://i.hizliresim.com/Djt61R.png How should the customer set up f5 load balancing with ssl handled in f5? Thanks in advance.
Health Score iCall - Dynamic Modification of a Pool Member's Ratio
Problem this snippet solves: Code Use Case: This iApp can be used to control an iCall script that will dynamically modify a pool member's ratio based on the result of a header received from each individual pool member. The iApp exposes a list of typical questions that will in turn modify the iCall scripts behavior without having to dive into the iCall code itself. The most common example and what the original iCall script was written and tested against is SharePoint web servers will return a header called X-SharePointHealthScore with a value ranging from 0-10(0 being best) based on internal monitored metrics. The iApp managed iCall will then look at this value on an interval and apply a ratio to the pool member ranging from 10-1 as the inverse to the score above. This allows for a more in-tune approach to load balancing. Note: This will work against a pool managed by another iApp (tested with SharePoint 2010/2013/2016 iApp) as well as a manually configured pool (or a pool managed by an iApp with strict updates turned off). Link to Original iCall: https://devcentral.f5.com/codeshare/prioritize-sharepoint-nodes-on-reported-health How to use this snippet: Unzip the file, then upload the iApp template to Big-IP.
