"FirePass SSL/VPN VE 7.0 and Bring Your Own Device"

Hi all,

 

 

I have a question about the BYOD hype and i have to say that i am thinking about how F5 especially FirePass VE 7.0 (which is the one i am using right now) does or have a compatibility for it? which means; is it possible to setup FirePass to create differences between known devices and unknown ones which also applies to known and unknown users ?

 

 

is somewhere here some publication or documentation on this matter ?

 

 

Thank you very much.

 

 

 

Cheers,

    I would recommend installing a package or two to check for registry entries. If you don't want to do that, check for certificates would be the best choice.

    Hi Mike,

     

    thanks for your reply.

     

     

    the matter is that beforehand you'll never know who is trying to access your network, that' s the concept of BYOD.

     

    i am wondering if it possible to setup a policy in FP Access Control List so that you can provide external unknown users and devices limited access to Internet outside your LAN.

     

     

    Cheers,
