MVPAPM - configure local ip / port of App tunnel
is it possible to configure the local ip and local port for an App tunnel? like it was possible in the Firepass. or is this something which is determined by the software and can't be configured?
...
To add a little more information here: It can't be configured. In APM, apptunnels operate differently than Firepass.
APM App tunnel has 3 access possibilities:
1-You can access using direct backend IP if you have F5 DNS Relay Service installed.
2-You can access using hostname if a) the definition is made with a hostname, and b) hostname is resolvable at connect time by APM, and c) either DNS Relay Service is installed OR user has permission to write to the local hosts file
3-You can access using the loopback IP (127.x.x.x) and port of the apptunnel. This is what's populated in the %host% and %port% in the Application Launch area. Unfortunately there is no way to predetermine what this 127.x address will be.
Also, F5 DNS Relay Service is NOT installed automatically, you must manually install it with the Edge Client installer.
