It is becoming increasingly important to have secure access to internal company data and applications when working from home or when on the move. BIG-IP APM enables you to meet your needs for a complete VPN solution in addition to making applications accessible to selected users using a secure portal solution (application delivery). F5 supports a wide range of technologies that can be connected to the BIG-IP for access control purposes (Active Directory, SAML, RADIUS, etc.).
Benefits
Flexible
Your requirements can also be covered thanks to BIG-IP APM’s comprehensive functions and the fact that the product can be extended by programming iRules.
Secure
In addition to two-factor authentication, an access policy can also be used to check other factors to authorise a device for remote access. This includes checks such as the operating system, antivirus software version and more.
Scalable
APM solutions are available for smaller companies with up to 100 employees, large corporations with several 100,000 users and everything in between. We’d be delighted to arrange an individual consultation with you to help you find the right product.
Technologies
We’d be thrilled to implement your individual requirements according to your wishes. F5 BIG-IP APM includes the following features (to name but a few examples).
Granular policy enforcement
The Visual Policy Editor can be used to construct complex access procedures.
SSL VPN, portal access or reverse proxy
BIG-IP APM enables SSL VPN with the BIG-IP Edge Client. Alternatively, you can grant your users access to the desired applications through a web portal or make individual applications available using the classic reverse proxy functionality.
A multitude of authentication options
APM supports the likes of AD, LDAP, NTLM, Kerberos, Radius, RSA or federated identity with SAML or OAuth/OpenID Connect for authentication purposes.
Virtual desktop infrastructure support
VDI resources such as Citrix Xen services, Microsoft RDP or VMware Horizon can be provided through the Access Portal.
SSO with credential caching
Once a user has authenticated themselves using their credentials, they can be used for seamless single sign-on to your applications using Basic, NTLM, form fields, etc.
Corporate policy checks
You can restrict remote access to your applications by implementing various policy checks so that only clients with an up-to-date version of an antivirus product, a specific registry entry or from a defined country, for example, can access them.
Customisation and iRules
Login pages and portals can be almost completely customised. For all requirements that cannot be met by the APM standard functionalities, we are happy to check whether they can be implemented using iRules.
