NimbostratusRandom characters in portal app HTML
I have seen this a number of times, and have never been able to resolve it. In portal access applications once in a while I see random (hex) characters strewn throughout the page. For example, I added www.google.com as a portal app (I actually need this to work) and I get a random "8000 0" at the top of the page. These numbers are the same every time, in the same places on various pages/sites/servers.
I'm at a loss. Any ideas?
This one in particular is in the lab and is running newer software than our production appliances but same result.
BIG-IP 11.6.0 Build 0.0.401 Final

JKGF_212732That worked! I figured it was something simple, thank you!

Are you using all default profiles for the VS? If you are, can you see if you use all the default profiles if you have better results?
I have seen some issues in the past where when using APM+LTM (not portal access mode) and SSOv2 (Forms-Client Initiated) that the chunk values from the response will show up in the HTML. Since you are not using APM+LTM I don't believe this is the same exact issue but you probably are seeing the chunk info displayed.
