NimbostratusF5 SSL VPN an Mac OS X 10.7 Lion
What's the story on F5 SSL VPN support for Mac OS X 10.7 Lion?
Myself and others cannot get a connection to work in any browser and have had to downgrade to Snow Leopard.
Is this a known issue? Are there any plans for a fix?
It would be nice to have this information so we can plan our workstation upgrades.
Thanks.

Install the latest version of Java for Lion.- Spongerius_8687Have run the Mac OS Software update, and all files are updated. But still not able to get the SSL VPN going.
My current version of Java are 1.6.0_26-b03-383 (32-bit and 64-bit)
Aaron_688Having the same issue with the same versions. Does a work-around exist?- No, there isn't a workaround. There is an F5 hotfix coming out soon to resolve this.
Boon_Khai_Tie_1fyr, i've tested BIG-IP Edge Mac Client version 7002.2011.0329.1. But somehow it's not able to connect successfully. Will wait for F5 hotfixes. Thanks.- nsxwolf_68260I've had some success with the Python script referenced in this post on the Apple forums:

Don't know if it can be made to work with two-factor authentication, though. - nsxwolf, it should work if you've setup securid for example to use token+pincode for the password of each user.
- Mike_61719Can the users who are having problems do this please?
Go into Java Preferences and check the box "Enable applet plug-in and Web Start applications", quit safari after it's saved and try again? - Mike_61719Oh and please respond if you've tried it with or without success :)
