Application through F5 does not direct to home page after username/password auth

Hello,

 

I have a client that connects to a server which is load balanced via F5 the connectivity goes like this :

 

Client > https:443 > f5 VIP > F5 SNAT > http:8080 > Server

 

The first page that is presented is a login page asking for username and password.

 

When we enter credentials accessing the application directly (not via f5) the application authenticates and we are redirected to the /home page.

 

When we use the F5 the application still authenticates however the page stays on the login screen as if authentication was unsuccessful however if we then F5-refresh the page we are directed to the /home page.

 

Has anyone seen these symptoms before ?

 

Thanks.
