Native RDP sessions not connecting (13.0 HF2)
Hi there,
we have BigIP LTM/APM configured and working. We have load balanced services, VPN and many other services working without issue.
We recently upgraded to 13 and added HF2. We are currently testing the native RDP client integration (not gateway or remote access) and we're currently failing miserably.
So far I've noticed the following
- I am making a successful connection to the BigIP on 443 from the RDP Client but it disconnects shortly after with a message about can't find the computer.
- RDP Requests seemingly originate from the Self IP of the BigIP not the required SNAT address.
- Requests are dropped by the client, and windows filtering platform shows blocked connection events in the security log.
- The activex/java clients work and connect, however the source IP is still the external self ip of the bigIP.
So I guess I have 2 issues
- The connections appear to originate from the SelfIP of the BigIP not the designated SNAT Pool
- The RDP conncetion makes a connection to the BigIP but then windows is blocking it for some reason.
Steps I've taken so far
Relating to 1 Tried different SNAT Pools Changed the various settings relating to SNAT (Auto Map, SNAT, None) all give the same results Searches returned results about a bug that existed in BigIP 12 that sounded similar, however this is not mentioned in the 13 notes as either being fixed or a known issue.
Relating to 2 Turned off local firewall Turned off require Network Level Authentication in Remote Connection Settings Searches didn't turn up much of any use
Any advice on either issue would be great.
Cheers Spence
