APM :: VMware View :: Blast Extreme
Anybody have any luck getting Blast Extreme configured for VMware View and APM via Horizon Client? Currently we launch the Horizon client via webtop link (vdi/rdp) and PCoIP is tunneled through the F5 via udp/4172... but our systems engineers are looking to upgrade to Blast Extreme, and I know NOTHING about how it works with the F5. Not too much on the interwebs in regards to this relationship. Is it just a matter of creating another virtual server on the BIG-IP and assigning the VDI profile? Or does the protocol work on TCP/443 and F5 just knows what to do with it on the existing virtual server? Thanks-APM :: VMware View USB Redirection
I'm trying to get USB redirection working with VMware View 6.1.1, but I am not having any luck (BIG-IP v13.0). I took a look at the deployment guide (https://www.f5.com/pdf/deployment-guides/vmware-horizon-view-dg.pdf) and I noticed that my setup is a little bit different. The deployment guide talks about USB redirect when you're initiating the connection with the Horizon client: ... however I'm using a scenario where the user logs into a webtop, and then they launch the Horizon client from within the webtop (using a VDI/RDP profile that points to the VMware View pool). I have my assignment like so: ... where View USB is the VMware View Policy with USB redirection enabled, and View Assign is the Active Directory Resource Assigment. Is this supposed to work? Am I missing something that you know of? Thanks! -Ryan
iAPP vmware view (only ltm)
Hi, I'm trying to get the v1.5.1 iapp to work with our vmware connection servers. I've tried multiple setup's even with the virtual IP on the same subnet as the connection servers. We only have LTM enabled on our Big-IP Little overview of the setup: url with public certificate virtual ip: different subnet OR same subnet as the connection server. I switched the IP for this ssl offloading (also disabled the checkboxes on the vmware view connection server + edited the locked.properties file) For the rest is most likely the same I've tried this only with the DNS host file on my pc to change the url towards the virtual i on big-ip I'm not getting this to work. Any Suggestions? Kind regards, IgorAPM :: VMware View :: PCoIP & UDP/0
Has anybody ran into an issue where the virtual machines reply back with UDP/0? After I log-on and am presented the webtop, I click the VMware View desktop link, I click to launch the VMware View Client, and then the client opens and connects. I'm shown the infamouse black/grey screen, and then it errors-out. If I look at the firewall logs, I see the following: The F5 floating IP connects to the virtual machine on TCP/4172 (for PCoIP I presume) Data is transmitted between the two and it finishes FIN/ACK The virtual machine then attempts an outbound connection to the F5 floating IP from UDP/4172 destined to UDP/0 Of course, the outbound connection-attempt to UDP/0 is dropped by the firewall since it's invalid. Any ideas on what could be causing this? I would anticipate the virtual machine would connect to UDP/4172 and not port 0. Thanks -Ryan
RSA then AD connection. How to autopopulate and keep the username ?
Hello, I want to give access to our VDI platform through a F5 APM 11.4.1. (with view client and html5). All work fine but I want to make it easier for the user, and more secure. So, I have 2 questions: 1- when view client connection, how to prevent the user to change the username (the RSA and AD ID are similar) ? I have put the Read-Only attribute in the logon page with no change. Perhaps in the view.inc ? but how ? 2- when browser connection, how to autopopulate the username and domain when the user clic on remote desktop ressource ? thanks in advance. Regards Patrice
