F5 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.

    Have 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)

    Having 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.

    fyr, 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.

    I'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.

    Can 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?
