Verify the BIG-IP Core is configured with an APM policy to uniquely identify and authenticate organizational users (or processes acting on behalf of organizational users).

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 to uniquely identify and authenticate organizational users when connecting to virtual servers.
