Fix Recommendation

If intermediary services for remote access communications traffic are provided, configure the BIG-IP Core as follows:

Configure a policy in the BIG-IP APM module to control remote access methods.

Apply APM policy to the applicable Virtual Server(s) in the BIG-IP LTM module to control remote access methods to virtual servers.

Check Contents

If the BIG-IP Core does not serve as an intermediary for remote access traffic (e.g., web content filter, TLS, and webmail) for virtual servers, this is not applicable.

When intermediary services for remote access communications are provided, verify the BIG-IP Core is configured to control remote access methods.

Verify Virtual Server(s) in the BIG-IP LTM module are configured with an APM policy to control remote access methods.

Navigate to the BIG-IP System manager >> Local Traffic >> Virtual Servers >> Virtual Servers List tab.

Select Virtual Servers(s) from the list to verify.

Verify under "Access Policy" section that "Access Policy" has been set to use an APM access policy that controls remote access methods to virtual servers.

If the BIG-IP Core does not control remote access methods, this is a finding.
