What I did Booted Debian bookworm version 12.12 Started the Wayland compositor kwin-wayland version 4:5.27.5-3 Launched f5vpn version 7262.0.0.2 Expected result f5vpn GUI starts Actual result Did not start, and printed an error: qt.qpa.plugin: Could not find the Qt platform plugin "wayland" in "" More info In order to support Wayland, the Wayland qt6 libraries need to be bundled with the Linux Edge client. In particular, the /opt/f5/vpn/platforms/ directory should include libqwayland.so .
Is Window 7 supported?
Hello. I sucessfully used BIG-IP Edge Client in Windows 7 but yesterday it auto-updated installing CAB files for a long time and after that it was impossible to connect to any server. I uninstalled it and now I cannot install it again. Installation process installs ActiveX components, then drivers and quickly rollbacks saying that there was error and installation was not successful. I understand that Windows 7 maybe not supported, but just to be sure that it is so. If you need some additional logs and information feel free to ask.
Linux CLI VPN Client - "Server certificate verification failed."
Hi all, We've recently gone live with our VPN (on v13 HF2) and some of our users have reported their having issues accessing the VPN from their Linux command line. On RHEL/Fedora, the VPN connection doesn't work. On Ubuntu, I can see the errors in the logs but it lets me through anyhow. After installing the package, they run the command to connect to the VPN: f5fpc -s -t https://ourvpn.com When querying how the connection went, I can see: f5fpc -i Connection Status: logon failed Server certificate verification failed. The certificate we're using is a properly signed QuoVadis cert. The ~/.F5Networks/standalone.log shows: 2017-07-24,14:39:27:019, 2839,2849,standalone, 0, /LinuxEventHandler.cpp, 924, , LinuxEventHandler::loadCAStore()- Using default Trusted cert store at=/etc/ssl/certs, for CA cert validation 2017-07-24,14:39:27:019, 2839,2849,standalone, 2, /LinuxEventHandler.cpp, 1052, LinuxEventHandler::verify_context_chain(), Server Cert chain is empty 2017-07-24,14:39:27:021, 2839,2849,standalone, 0, /LinuxEventHandler.cpp, 1063, , LinuxEventHandler::verify_context_chain() - X509_verify_cert(): verification error=2, string=unable to get issuer certificate 2017-07-24,14:39:27:021, 2839,2849,standalone, 48, /LinuxEventHandler.cpp, 68, CLinuxEventHandler::HandleEvent(), exit with, 0 2017-07-24,14:39:27:022, 2839,2849,standalone, 2, /USSLChannel.cpp, 312, USSLChannel::Write, SSL_write failed (result: -1, error: SSL_ERROR_SSL) 2017-07-24,14:39:27:022, 2839,2849,standalone, 1, /UHTTP.cpp, 38, UHTTP::makeRequest(), EXCEPTION - send request error 2017-07-24,14:39:27:022, 2839,2849,standalone, 1, /UHTTP.cpp, 115, , EXCEPTION caught: UHTTP::makeRequest() - EXCEPTION 2017-07-24,14:39:27:022, 2839,2849,standalone, 48, /UFirepass.cpp, 679, UFirepass::doGetRequestWithoutRedirect, server returned HTTP code, return code, 0, -1 2017-07-24,14:39:27:022, 2839,2849,standalone, 1, /UFirepass.cpp, 688, UFirepass::doGetRequestWithoutRedirect, (0x27) EXCEPTION - Channel error, 39 2017-07-24,14:39:27:022, 2839,2849,standalone, 48, /UChannelChain.cpp, 34, UChannelChain::~UChannelChain(), destroying channel 2.

Thanks, NickPassword input field on OTP Logon page already filled in
Hi, I'm having an annoying issue where the password field on the OTP Logon page is already filled in (with *****) each time I log in to the APM. (Seems to only be this way in the Edge Client). I would like to have the field cleared and not remembered since it's an OTP after all. I've searched in the VPE / Customization where to configure this without any luck, and my html/javascript coding skills are too lacking. Any tips? Kind Regards, MarcusBig-IP Edge Client can I clear the user entered servers?
Hi, I have a significant number of users that have been using an IP address as the server they connect to when they initiate a connection with the big-ip edge client. I would like to automatically force their edge client to use our FQDN, but am trying to do it without having to send out instructions on how to do it. Our connectivity policy originally had "Save Servers on Exit" set to true, so the IP address has been saved in their list. I tried setting it to false in the hope it might reset the list to only inlcude the ones set in the server list, but that didn't work. I was able to add a branch to the access policy that checked the server.network.name variable and then redirect them to the correct FQDN, but unfortunately that didn't update the selected server in the edge client, so next time they fired it up it was still defaulting to the IP. Does anyone have any idea how I might be able to achieve what I want? Thanks, Simon
VPN BIG-IP Edge client : firewall rules applied by BIG-IP Edge Client
We have established a VPN connection between a Windows client and a BIG-IP v15. We are using BIG_IP Edge client, with network access. According to table 3.5 in this document : https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K49720803#link_05_04 when "always connected" mode is enabled, BIG-IP edge client applies firewall rules. Is there any other feature that allow BIG-IP edge client to apply firewall rules ? What kind of rules are applied ?
VPN BIG-IP Edge client : difference between dynamic and static configuration ?
I have a VPN connection between a Windows client and a BIGIP v15. I am using BIGIP Edge client, with network access. According to this document : https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K24416258 "Edge client connects to the APM Virtual Server and downloads the configuration". 1. What are precisely the features downloaded ? 2. Does this mean that the msi file installed on Windows client provides static configuration ? 3. May the dynamic configuration (1.) overwrite the static configuration (2.) ?F5 client - Only want it to connect from the webtop
Hi Everyone, I wanted to setup a scenario where a user has to always sign in and authenticate to a webtop (which we have 2 factor setup), click on the vpn resource on the webtop, and launch the F5 bip-ip client for the connection. I don't want the user to be able to just fire up the VPN client and get access without logging in to the web portal/webtop setup. (no bypassing the 2fa piece) Is this possible to always enforce?full webtop using edge client
I am trying to establish an edge client session ending with a full webtop. From the IE browser, I am able to complete the session and establish a full webtop at the end. When I go through the edge client, I am able to establish a session; however, the webtop minimizes just as the connection is established. How can I establish an edge client session and keep the full webtop IE browser open and not minimize? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
SSLVPN auto-posting user creditials/password missing adding additional auth prompt
When adding a additional password prompt (radius) for numeric pin within the logon page, the user's username and password are not automatically posted added to the logon page screen when the new input field is added. Using - Version 14 BigIP Edge Client Windows 10 Working - With access policy - Failed - With Access policy failed - Do I need to add a "Variable Assign" or something else? Help is appreciated.
