What is F5 BIG-IP Access Policy Manager (APM)?
The F5 BIG-IP Access Policy Manager (APM) is a robust access management solution that serves as a unified gateway, consolidating and governing access to a user's network, cloud providers, applications, and application programming interfaces (APIs). This comprehensive platform harmonizes authentication processes for remote users, mobile devices, distributed networks, virtual environments, and web access, seamlessly bridging modern and legacy authentication and authorization protocols. By translating user credentials into the appropriate authentication standards supported by the applications, BIG-IP APM enables access to even those applications unable to natively handle modern protocols like SAML and OAuth with OIDC
