APM - App tunnel - Internal error

all my app tunnels end up in an internal error, to rule out config issues i made them really simple (hostname, port, command with an %host% parameter), but still im getting nowhere. did anyone encounter this before? what can i do to trouble shoot?

 

when i click the app tunnel on the webtop the screen opens and the tunnel start to initalize but then gives an internal error in the screen. using windows 7, ie9 / 10, ff, no difference.

 

app tunnel log shows:

[EDIT] by cleaning up all old config and trying again it started working fine. unsure what exactly was the cause, but not an issue anymore.

  • Hi, when you said : " by cleaning up all old config and trying again" which config you mean ? since i have the same issue

     

  • it was a test unit, so i just deleted all apm related stuff and started it.

     

    never quite understood what i did wrong, but i had some odd tunnel experiences over time. usually just deleting config and starting over works.

     

  • I wanted to reply to this thread, and say that I recently encountered this issue, and it turned out to be caused by the cookie option "HTTP Only" being enabled within the Access Profiles > (profile name) > SSO / Auth Domains. It is documented in SOL15387 that HTTP Only is only supported for LTM+APM Access Policies only. I am not sure if this is the same issue you encountered boneyard, but wanted to put this out there.
  • thank you for replying on this. it can very well have been the issue back then.
