iOS 7 - Per App VPN

Does F5 support the per app VPN available now on iOS 7?   If so, can each app authenticate as different "users"?   Apple Documentation: Profile Configurations

Yes, it certainly works, but provisioning/configuring it requires an MDM device that is updated to the version that is compatible with Per-App VPN settings specifically for iOS7. If you are not using MDM product, you won't be able to provision this - this limitation is from Apple and not F5.

 

If you are using MDM and having issues provisioning Per-App VPN, please post more details here.

    We have the same problem as Alex. We are using: F5 BIG-IP 11.4.0 MobileIron 5.8.3 as MDM and the latest iOS version and Edge Client The Edge Client is able to connect when initiating manually, but Per-App-VPN doesn't work. Console says 'App layer vpn required', when tunnel is not established manually. When we start the tunnel manually and try to use the app again, console says 'no local address specified' and 'no remote address specified'. Does the specific app need to support this or what could be the problem here? Thanks in advance

    I am seeing similar issues. We are using Airwatch as our MDM solution and have configured a single app as "managed" with Per-App VPN support. When I launch this app (Google Chrome), it does not appear to attempt to launch the VPN connection, but appears to have no connectivity. Any help would be appreciated.
