NimbostratusWindows 8 RT VPN access
Does anyone have a idea how to access F5 VPN using Windows 8 RT? I've seen the clientless VPN example but I can't figure out if this could be adapted to RT. Open to any suggestions. (Love my new Surface)

Unfortunately, Microsoft did not provision VPN hooks in Windows 8 RT, so no vendor, including F5, is able to offer full tunnel-VPN access. :( You can access web-based internal resources through APM clientless Portal Rewrite mode - but that is about it.
Terrence_92821Thank you Michael. I'm disappointed but hopeful MS will provide an update that adds that functionality. Neatest thing since sliced bread. I was really hoping to be able to access servers and workstation via RDP. The RDP works great as long as the tablet is connected to the specific network. VPN would make it almost perfect.
Thanks Again!
Jessica_42876Hi, I want to connect one surface RT to the F5 VPN client, the APM have the 11.4.1 version, is it posible to configure???
- Michael_Koyfma1Yes, please see this documentation : http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_apm/releasenotes/related/config-note-f5-inbox-vpn-client-windows8.html Your RT must be updated to 8.1
- Jessica_42876Thanks for the link, I checked it but I have two questions when the policy require a active directory authentication in the windows rt I should type username and password or domain\username and password?? The access policy is "client type">>" client os">> the policy need to include both???
