SSL Orchestrator can require a user to authenticate before traffic will be proxied.

.. note::
   This feature leverages the BIG-IP Access Policy Manager (APM) software module, so requires the APM module to be licensed and provisioned on the SSL Orchestrator system to function. To learn more about APM, click |apm-link|.
