NimbostratusIE11 support release date for firepass v7
Any ideas when F5 might release a patch for this problem?

NimbostratusHello KRR_arg,
well you could be right.
You are talking of the IE11/Win8.1 "Compatibility Mode". In IE pressing F12 for the developer mode, what did you select under "Browser Mode" and "Document Mode" to get the plug-in working? We are interested in getting the "Dynamic Tunnels" and RDP working.
Cheers Thomas
Postscript: Well since yesterday under http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/14000/800/sol14846.html?sr=34887478 we got this:
"The FirePass controller does not support Microsoft Windows 8.1, and F5 has no future plans to add support for Windows 8.1. However, F5 will support Microsoft Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 7 and Windows 8 in an upcoming maintenance release of the FirePass controller."
Is this statement new?

NimbostratusDear Thomas 02,
I have not used Developer Mode yet. So far the "Compatibility View" (CV) option is clearly visible in the settings (cogwheel) menu from Internet Explorer 11. If your Firepass domain is "f5.sslvpn.com" simply add "sslvpn.com" to the compatibility list. This has allowed me to both use Firepass (with the latest hotfixes) and install the plug-in both under Win7 and Win8.1. I hope this helps you somewhat along the way. I cannot tell whether the CV option is mandatory with all IE11 installations or not. Hopefully it is and you can find it with ease.
Ref. your kb link, I too would love to know if this is a "new" or "same old" statement.
Kind regards,
K_a
