Web SSPR / NTLM Auth via fixed user details

I have been given a minor issue to deal with and would appreciate any help.

 

We have an installation of Tableau using AD authentication via NTLM/SSPR to allow automatic web/html access to internal AD users by group membership.

 

There is now a demand to provide external public access to a limited dataset without the need to login. Tableau requires a login and cannot have mixed AD and local users so I am stuck with AD.

 

Is there any way to have the F5 (which has AD access), via irules or APM, authenticate via a specific AD user, passing username and password (and domain if necessary) for all traffic hitting an external web VIP.

 

I have tried using APM and without a login page using the set variable to pass username and password to an AD login, but Tableau still prompts for authentication.

 

Any help appreciated

 

Thanks

 

Steve

    Hi

     

    Have you tried using a SSO profile with your APM policy so that it would intercept the auth request. In the SSO profile you could either hardcode the credentials or set them as a variable as part of your policy
