F5EIHelper.exe triggering UAC with Big-IP Client
I am trying to set up Win 7 pc's with a Big-IP client + Certificate to launch on login, but the UAC pops a permission request every time to allow F5EIHelper.exe. Does anyone know what this exe does and if it's needed. Otherwise, has anyone figured out how to bypass the UAC message without disabling UAC altogether? I've tried working with the MS Application Compatibility Toolkit, but can't seem to get it to fix the issue.
couldn't connect to termial server xxxxxx (Redirected Local Devices) error
Hi all: I am trying to connect through Firepass and am getting "couldn't connect to termial server xxxxxx (Redirected Local Devices)" where xxxxxx is the actual computer name. I think the problem may be because of a missing F5 network addin. I am on an XP Pro machine with IE 7. The installed addin components are F5 networks auto update, F5 networks cachecleaner, and F5 networks host control. It seems I am missing F5 networks dyamic application tunnel control. Other machines in the office can connect fine so I now it is on the client side that I'm having issues. I don't know how to uninstall the f5 network addins and then go through the install process again in case something messed up during the install. Screenshot attached. Ron
how to run F5 Network Access on a 64-bit linux?
How to run F5 Network Access on a 64-bit linux? Particularly, can I use the VPN without a browser plugin? If not, which browser versions are supported? What I mean, why I ask: My employer is giving me remote access via an RSA SecurID token and instructions for web-based access using the F5 Network Access Plugin. My personal systems are all 64-bit linux, running versions of debian (with 3.2 kernels). My primary laptop has 2 browser versions installed: Firefox 12.0 and Iceweasel 13.0.1. (Note that Iceweasel is just Firefox with an open-license logo and branding. The debian package=iceweasel tracks the latest release version of Firefox from Mozilla.) Using Iceweasel (my usual browser), I received and activated my token and set my credentials on the provided remote-access website. I was then instructed to install the F5 Network Access Plugin. Unfortunately, that fails: the xpi begins running, but then quits with the message F5 Network Access Plugin could not be installed because it is not compatible with Iceweasel 13.0.1 I quit Iceweasel, started Firefox, logged into the remote-access site, and attempted to install the plugin, which similarly failed: F5 Network Access Plugin could not be installed because it is not compatible with Firefox 12.0 So my first question is, with which current linux and browser versions *is* F5 Network Access Plugin compatible? My second question is, can one obtain F5 network access on 64-bit linux *without* the browser plugin? I am also a graduate student, and obtain VPN access to my school's compute clusters via the Cisco VPN client built into debian's stock Gnome NetworkManager. I also find good comments regarding an unofficial F5 VPN client. Hence I'm not seeing why one needs to install a browser plugin to do networking.
WINDOWS 2003 RADIUS SERVER Configuration wiith Firepass
We are trying to add Windows 2003 IAS server with firepass for RADIUS authentication. The configuration on the RADIUS server is as following: 1.On the AD we have enabled “Store Password using reversible encryption for all users in the domain” by going into Computer configuration--- windows settings---Security settings---Account Policies – Password Policy. 2.We have installed IAS on a separate WINDOWS2003 SERVER R2 which is a part of the same domain. 3.We have registered the same server with AD by rightclicking on “IAS” and then selecting Register Service in AD and restarted the IAS service. 4.We have set the RADIUS ports 1812 for the authentication and 1646 accounting . 5.We have added a new RADIUS client , named it as “FirepassVPN” added the self ip of the Firepass as the Radius client ip selected the protocol as RADIUS standard and entered a shared secret. 6.Added a new “Remote access policy” by creating a custom policy . Added a Windows groups by adding the domain users,to the group and set the permission as “Grant remote Access permission” and selected the authentication protocols as 7.In the AD , made sure that for the user groups , in the dial-in tab ,”Control access through Remote Access Policy” was selected. Made the following changes on the Firepass: 1.Created a new master group on the firepass called “Radius Authentication”. 2.Selected the Authentication method for the Master group as “Radius” and users as “External”. 3.In the RADIUS settings page , entered the ip of the “Windows 2003 RADIUS “ server as the Radius server ip, in the shared secret tab Put in the same shared secret which was entered on the “IAS server”, the port as “1812,1645” and saved the setting Now when we try to authenticate an user to firepass through the “Windows 2003 Radius server”, this is the error msg we get on the “Windows 2003 RADIUS server”. User arpan was denied access. Fully-Qualified-User-Name = MACROSOFTLLC\arpan NAS-IP-Address = 192.168.1.99 NAS-Identifier = Called-Station-Identifier = Calling-Station-Identifier = Client-Friendly-Name = vpnclient Client-IP-Address = 198.162.1.50 NAS-Port-Type = NAS-Port = 0 Proxy-Policy-Name = Use Windows authentication for all users Authentication-Provider = Windows Authentication-Server = Policy-Name = Authentication-Type = PAP EAP-Type = Reason-Code = 48 Reason = The connection attempt did not match any remote access policy. Not sure why we are getting this error. Any help on this error msg will be greatly appreciated. Avik

Hi Everyone, I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on an issue I'm having with a LAB setup. I have a pretty average APM policy setup (Built from the wizard), but I'm attempting to check if the users are a member of a AD group, and assigning resources accordingly. So for example, members of Administrators would see the server(s) RDC connections, while everyone else would just be able to access apps/network connect. To do this, I'm attempting to use 'Active Directory Auth has Passed' AND User is a member of CN=Administrators, CN=Builtin, DC=mydomain, DC=local, which is set to the top most item in the branch rules. Below that is just a simple 'Active Directory Auth has Passed' condition. On execution of the policy, I will never hit the top most condition, no matter how many ways I've tried it. On further review, I noticed the following in the logging of APM. Mar 25 22:31:49 apm debug apd[8648]: 01490000:7: AccessPolicyProcessor/AccessPolicy.cpp func: "execute()" line: 294 Msg: Rule to evaluate = "expr { [mcget {session.ad.last.authresult}] == 1 && [mcget {session.ad.last.attr.memberOf}] contains "CN=Administrators, CN=Builtin, DC=mydomain, DC=local" }" Mar 25 22:31:49 apm debug apd[8648]: 01490000:7: ./AccessPolicyProcessor/Session.h func: "getSessionVar()" line: 240 Msg: variable "session.ad.last.attr.memberOf" was not found in the local cache for session "46ca3a01" Mar 25 22:31:49 apm debug apd[8648]: 01490000:7: memcache.c func: "mc_convert_session_var_to_mc_key()" line: 854 Msg: Converted Var: session.ad.last.attr.memberOf to Session Var tmm.session.46ca3a01.session.ad.last.attr.memberOf Mar 25 22:31:49 apm debug apd[8648]: 01490000:7: ./AccessPolicyProcessor/Session.h func: "getSessionVar()" line: 262 Msg: variable "session.ad.last.attr.memberOf" for session "46ca3a01" was not found in MEMCACHED Which tells me the var in memory is never actually populated. I have ran adtest and verified the F5 VM is able to communicate with AD, so I'm a bit at a loss on how I might get this working. If anyone has any tips, it would be a great help. Thank You!
