F5 BIG-IP APM

My WebTop users are not being prompted to reauthenticate if they close the F5 session browser tab. How can I force them to reauthenticate?

The F5 APM 11.4 may not be clearing out the WebTop session cookies correctly. Try creating an iRule to remove the cookie on the Local Traffic branch of your defined WebTop Access Policy with the following definition (in this example the name of the Access Policy is dfw_vpn):

when HTTP_REQUEST {
  if { ([HTTP::uri] == "/") && [HTTP::cookie exists MRHSession ] && [ACCESS::session exists [HTTP::cookie value MRHSession]] }{

HTTP::redirect "https://[HTTP::host]/vdesk/webtop.eui?webtop=/Common/dfw_vpn_webtop&webtop_type=webtop_full"

  } elseif { [HTTP::cookie exists MRHSession] } {

  HTTP::cookie remove MRHSession

  }

}

Consult the BIG-IP Access Policy Manager Configuration Guide for more information about iRule creation and syntax or contact F5 support.
