BIG-IP system forward proxy chaining and APM
benefits
The BIG-IP system supports forward proxy chaining which enables
connection to a next hop proxy server. Access Policy Manager (APM®) brings these abilities
to forward proxy chaining:
- Offload authentication from and support authentication to the next hop on the client's behalf.
- Support single sign-on to the next hop and to resources at the next hop.
- Select different proxy servers for different requests.
- Select different SSO configurations for different requests.
