F5 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'
OS X F5 Access Scripting
Hello All, Is there any way to script the F5 Access client on the Mac? The documentation does not indicate that any scripting language can be used. AppleScript is not an option because all of tcc is now behind SIP, so we'd like to do BASH or Pyton, but Swift/Coca would also be acceptable if that was my only option. I would like to... Install the app via VPP (using my MDM for this) Configure it to launch through a LaunchAgent Create a new configuration Manage (Enable/Open and Disable/Close) a configuration If none of that is possible, does anybody know if the F5 environment can be configured to allow the Mac's built-in VPN (L2TP over IPSec, IKEv2 or Cisco IPSec) clients and what that configuration may look like. If I can be pointed to the right documentation or if anybody has examples, I would greatly appreciate the assist. Thank You, Nick Lucia
How to access RDP from Mac OSX on BIG-IP APM 12.0
Hello Devcentral, First of, there have been many "MAC OSX RDP" topics on here, I think I've read through all of them but I still cannot seem to get RDP working for my MAC OSX users. As with our Windows users I want them to be able to log onto the BIG-IP APM, click a link (Application Tunnel for MAC OSX of course) and then have them be able to log onto a Windows Server through RDP. I'm getting Java errors, "ClassNotFoundException" from the AppletTunnelProxy (seems to be something wrong with f5apptunnel.jar?). I've tried JRE 1.8 and 1.7 on my test Mac Mini here (OSX 10.11.6 El Capitan) and using Safari as well as Firefox. I did get this to work on BIG-IP APM 11.6 if I recall correctly. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. I have Java error logs/traces but didn't want to immediately spam this topic. If need be I can paste them into here. Thanks in advance!
DNS issue with VPN connection from OSX
Hi all, I have an issue with the DNS resolvers when I'm connecting with a Mac computer. Problem is the local DNS server already configured on the computer still remains as the "resolver 1", i.e. first resolver to query, even though it should be overwritten with the new resolvers provided from the big-ip. At the very least the "local DNS" should be placed after the new ones. The problem with the current situation is that sometimes the local DNS server will respond with a "REFUSED" message after the client is connected to the VPN, the reason for this I'm not sure but is something out of our hands because the DNS server might be random X wifi somewhere... Is there any way I can alter how the DNS servers will be handled? I have tried to play around with the options "Enforce DNS search order" and "Allow local DNS" but both these settings doesn't change how the DNS config on the client look like (at least not on the Mac computer). Also there's no difference between portal access (web based) or Network access (from the Edge client). Best Regards, MarcusBIG-IP and sharing connection on OS X
Hello, My Macbook running OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) is connecting well to a BIG-IP network with my Ethernet interface. What I would like to achieve is to share this connection through the WiFi interface. I'm trying to do it with the built-in functionality (System Preferences -> Internet sharing) using the "Thunderbolt Ethernet" interface as the source. Unfortunately all clients connecting to the WiFi does not have access to the vpn. Did someone already have this problem? Thanks.
