Webtop will not launch when using the BIG-IP Client

When using the Big-IP client, I cannot get the webtop to launch. If I connect from a browser, the webtop will launch. I am using APM version 11.5.1.   Since browser support is going away & we are ...

Well, the webtop is really just a display (Generated by javascript in the browser)... There's no reason any of that has to stop...

 

I'd say don't panic and see what develops... For example Chrome has the chromestore... It's possible F5 will just have to submit their chrome plugin for inclusion (Just like they & Citrix/VMWare have to for iPhone/iPad).

 

Plus the plugins are used for network access and verification. If you only use Citrix or VMWare Horizon, I don't think you'll have an issue... That's just a handler. Not a plugin (i.e. the APM delivers a file... .ica for Citrix) and hands that file to the handler app when it downloads it... In Citrix case it's Citrix Receiver. In VMWare it's Horizon View. [Both of which work stand-alone as well. Without plug-in OR F5 client software].
