Homefolder in webtop

We are currently migrating from UAG to F5. And right now im trying to figure out how to get our users access to their home folder, and shared folder for that matter.

 

We have 5 servers that host different departments home folders, and 2 servers that have shared folders. What would be the best way to do this? I am an absolute beginner(David Bowie) on F5 configuration.

    The best way to do this is to use a 3rd party app and run it through portal access. F5 doesn't have a file share applet.

     

    If you can find a java applet or other 3rd party web based software then you can run turn this through APM portal access and host the files that way.

    Thank you for the answer Sean.

     

    Do you have any prior experience in configuring a similar solution? I mean, can you point me to a software you might have used in a similar scenario?

     

    Im gonna bring this up next time our F5 tech visits us and have him help, if he can.

     

    Thank you Jonas

      Hey Jonas, I haven't implemented this before so I don't know what vendor you should use. Hopefully your sales team can help you out! Seth
