Overall Satisfaction with F5 BIG-IP Access Policy Manager (APM)

SSO with saml idp for our 15000 students and 2000 faculty and staff across multiple virtual servers. We also use the oidc provider for jet. Solve the problem of seamless single sign on across multiple applications third party and in-house developed. Also helps having a centralized place for session management and load balancing.

Pros

  • Saml idp
  • Insanely customizable
  • Oauth web tokens

Cons

  • User interface
  • Needs responsive design
  • MFA implementation is clunky
  • Single sign on is great for students and faculty and staff
  • Users don't have to log in multiple times
  • Users don't need to remember multiple login IDs and passwords
If F5 BIG-IP Access Policy Manager usability is fine it's not hard to use if you read the documentation but it does feel dated and could use a responsive design update to modernize user interface to current standards.

Big IP access policy manager is well suited for single sign-on with an active directory or radius backend. F5 BIG-IP Access Policy Manager also let me or I was able to build a bridge between Samuel and Olaf Jason web tokens from a third party provider. I created the Olaf client objects and parse a valid token into a Samuel session using the global policy profile type.
