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 workaround is to use the ignore certificate switch (-x) but I don't really want to do this. f5fpc -s -t https://ourvpn.com/ -x Any ideas??

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 ?1.4KViews0likes4CommentsWindows BIG-IP Edge Client cannot verify certificate revocation information
Hi, I have the local Windows firewall on for my test machine ONLY allows access to the IP address of the SSL VPN. This all works fine. However the Windows BIG-IP Edge Client cannot verify certificate revocation information. The funny thing is, Internet Explorer can and doesnt give me any warnings. I've tried making it a trusted site, installing the certificate. I just don't know why IE can check it/trust it, but the Edge Client can't?1.4KViews0likes4CommentsBig IP Edge Client Issue
Recently when connecting using BIG-IP Edge Client, users are now getting a popup window that seems to be coming from "https://www.f5.com/apps/all/avail.txt"; and the window is blank and has the text "avail" in it. If the window is closed the connection is terminated, if the window is left minimized the client stays connected. Running APM version 11.5.3, no recent changes have been done. Attached image of the popup window. Any suggestions what could be causing this all of a sudden?Solved1.3KViews0likes4CommentsIs Window 7 supported?
Hello. I sucessfully usedBIG-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.1.2KViews0likes2CommentsBig IP Edge Client windows 10 no connectivity with VPN - works on windows 7
Hi we are using Big IP Edge client for VPN connection. We validate with user creds, machine certificate check and antivrus check. When connecting from a windows 7 machine all is well and works as expected. When connecting form a windows 10 machine, the VPN connects (Access policy is passed A-OK) and it all seems ok (ip address assigned from correct lease pool etc) but I cannot connect to anything! I can see the traffic leaving the client (when I look at firewall logs the client is sending out the traffic to servers i am trying to RDP to for example) but it seems when the traffic is on its way back it doesn't properly get handled by the client (as if maybe its not getting decrypted by the edge client and sent on to application layer or something like that) Now we are running 11.6 Hotfix 6 which is compatible with windows 10 but so far support haven't been much help. I provided them decrypted tcpdump from F5, wireshark from client, f5wininfo output but last update from support was to disable windows firewall which made no difference (I knew it wouldnt as all outbound traffic allowed anyway and VPN connection is all outbound) then they asked to check that machine has latest windows updates! (As if thats got anything to do with it) This is causing much grief as we are about to rollout win 10 to the company but unless I can get VPN working its delaying rollout. Anyone seen this before? Any help would be greatly appreciated.1.1KViews0likes7CommentsBig-IP Edge Client seems not to work with Windows 10 1803
Hi everybody Windows 10 Release 1803 will be delivered in the next few days to the public. We are running the latest build from the Windows Insider Program: Unfortunately the Big-IP Edge client version 7160,2018,118,2335 (APM 13.1.0.5) is not working with this Windows build. The VPN connection cannot be established. First error message in logterminal.txt [User]: Error CURDialer::InitializeConnectionThreadProc, Failed to set entry properties in C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Network\Connections\Pbk\rasphone.pbk (error: 0x278) Does anybody get the Big-IP Edge client worked with Windows 10 1803? Thank you, John792Views0likes7CommentsBIG IP Edge Client
Hi, I am working with my Windows desktop from remotely and using the BIG IP Edge client [SSL VPN], when my internet connection drops, the Edge client stops and when it reconnects it prompts me with AD credentials again, As I have typed in my AD credentials at first instance [when first time I launched it], Can I not avoid this authentication again [when internet drops and come back again]?750Views0likes0CommentsAPM Always connected mode
Hey support, Wondering if anyone is using the always connected mode for windows big IP edge client? When we create a package with this feature off, everything works as desired. The auto-connect button stays selected for users and connects when the program sensing it is not on the domain (at home for example). When I create a new edge client package with "Enable always connected mode" selected I run into issues when computers are brought back into the office (on the domain). A popup senses it is on the local LAN and says disconnected but nothing works. Cannot ping default gateway (general failure). Nothing seems to work. (This does work when you take it out of the office domain). Am I missing a setting to allow computers to work as normal without any VPN features when this feature is enabled?725Views0likes7CommentsF5 Access for Mac OS client
I've upgraded APM to 13.1.0.1 and would like to test the 'F5 Access for Mac OS' client that can be found in the Appstore. However, it's not working out of the box for me. I've not found any success stories, so I was wondering if it is even production ready. The client immediately gives me this error: Failed to get NA settings The operation couldn’t be completed. (PacketTunnel.VpnFavoriteParamsOperationError error 2. The server says: New session from client IP xxx Session deleted due to user inactivity. All works fine with 'BIG-IP Edge Client'700Views0likes2Comments
