F5 VPN SSL from a Linux desktop

Hello guys,

 

 

We are running a F5 gateway to connect at the company network via a token. Once logged in, i can see a TSE windows server link.

 

When I'm on Windows, this link open a TSE client (rdesktop) and connect to the TSE remote server via the SSL tunnel created automatically.

 

When i'm on Linux, i click on the link but nothing happens at all (I'm using Firefox). i tried to start a linux rdesktop client and reach the TSE remote server IP : nothing.

 

 

Is there a way to use this remote TSE server from a Linux desktop ? is there a tutorial somewhere or so ?

 

 

Thanks by advance,

    It sounds like you may be talking about the FirePass AppTunnels feature. This is not supported in Linux.

    Yes, there was a recent video and script published in DevCentral that demonstrate this:
