BIG IP Edge Client linux

Hello, I'm using Linux and currently in my company we use F5 VPN. Problem is that my company doesn't support Linux, so I need to somehow get the VPN client to be able to login to different machines. ...

I have a similar issue, I need to use a client for connecting using OTP --token-- from linux that works, I have downloaded the BIG-IP Edge linux client that install the f5fc command but I can't log on due to there isn't option for the OTP by CLI and I can't connect, please, give me a solution -- I use Ubuntu 16/18, help me, we can't install Windows due to licenses and the only issue is the VPN Client.

    This solution is not clear about OTP for Linux:

    I never had any project that I had to play with the Linux version, so not sure about the options there.

     

    Basically, you need to send the username + password + token, however, I am not sure if you can send the token via CLI. If that is not possible, you can ask the user the token together with one of those fields. As passwords can have any characters, the user could send the username@token, you then split that in the APM.

     

    Have a look at what options you get, if you need more help let me know.
