trouble replacing NetScaler for AccessGateway with F5 APM
I'm running 12.0.3, trying to replace my Citrix Netscaler w/ Citrix VDI iApp 2.4. I have XenApp 6.5, StoreFront 3.0 and 3.6 (trying to get either one to work, I don't care which one I end up with).
I've gone through the iApp, everything looks, feels, seems right. I've tried ssl offloading and bridging, tried having a different fqdn for the internal StoreFront server from the F5 virtual server, and having the same. But everything after I logon via the F5 form in my browser, I see the background images load for storefront, and get a message "Cannot get your apps from the store." with an OK button.
I increased the APM logging, I see these lines at the bottom of the log for my session.
Thoughts?

Hi Jason,
Is your remote desktop resource pointing toward the connection brokers or the storefront server(s)? (Access Policy ›› Application Access : Remote Desktops : Remote Desktops)

Hi Kees, I actually don't have anything in there, should I? I've not seen anything about that, and I'm not even getting that far yet, still trying to enumerate my apps from StoreFront :)
It's looking to me like I'm not hitting the 'start uri' for the SSO, not sure what may be a miss, I've looked through the manual configuration tables in the iApp and all looks solid, but perhaps the 'start URI' needs to be triggered by the logon form?
Hi Jason,
Sorry, now I see your running in LTM+APM mode. Your right, the "start URI" should be the uri of the storefront login page.
SSO is looking for '/Citrix/citrixtestWeb/ExplicitAuth/Login' but this uri is never presented by storefront. I think it should look like: /Citrix/XenApp/auth/login.aspx
Cheers,
Kees

Hi Kees, Did you get an answer on this? I am going thru the same issue now
Hi Manuel,
No I did not. What does your APM logging (debug on SSO )say??
Cheers,
Kees

can you try this debugging?
tmsh modify sys dblog.accesscontrol.level{ value “debug” }
and tmsh modify sys dblog.vdi.level{ value “debug” }
Hi Manual,
I think we got mixed up. I am not the one asking the question, I tried to help Jason but he stopped responding.
So I can help you with your issue.
Cheers,

sorry I didn't mean to disappear or keep you hanging, just decided to keep my NetScalers as they were much simpler for this function :)
Hi Jason,
No problem. I am glad you got it worked out (with the wrong devices ;-) )
Cheers,
Kees
