We have F5 BigIP APM (16.1.5.2) for VPN SSL and for some user some LDAP field are base64 encoded (because of french accent). I have try in Variable Assignement : session.ldap.last.attr.displayName = set encoded [mcget {session.ldap.last.attr.displayName}] set decoded [b64decode $encoded] return $decoded But in log 2025-04-17 19:06:54 x.x.x.x - err apmd[1069]: 01490086:3: /Common/AP:Common:77c07d2d: Rule evaluation failed with error: invalid command name "b64decode" Is it possible to have the good syntax for this conversion ?

Hi, Problems connecting to vpn after upgrading to ubuntu 24.04 | DevCentral After switching to Ubuntu 24 LTS, I encountered the connection issues as described here https://community.f5.com/discussions/TechnicalForum/problems-connecting-to-vpn-after-upgrading-to-ubuntu-24-04/329549 . Applying the fix symlinking /etc/resolv.conf made things work partly. What I am seeing is that, after connecting with f5fpc, /etc/resolv.conf contains the two nameservers of my vpn domain (great), but also still my local lan nameserver (192.168.1.1 , not so great). This makes that about 1 in 3 DNS requests for hosts on the vpn side fail. $ cat /etc/resolv.conf 17 │ nameserver 192.168.20.2 18 │ nameserver 192.168.20.25 19 │ nameserver 192.168.1.1 20 │ search . Any ideas what could be causing this ?238Views0likes0CommentsNeed to log the VPN Pool IP Address on the Edge Firewall Logs

Hello, I have deployed a pair of r5900 series appliances. On these appliances, I have an Active/Standby tenant cluster of F5 BIG IP running with the APM module provisioned and an APM configuration dedicated to SSL VPN using the F5 Edge Client. The F5OS chassis are using 3 licences : r5900 Best bundle APM 1000 VPN Users (x2) This means that the production environment can handle up to 2000 concurrent users connected at the same time, on the APM-enabled BIG-IP tenants. My question is the following : Can I create 2 new tenants running BIG-IP with APM module and create a new APM configuration for VPN testing purposes ? How are the "APM 1000 VPN Users" licence shared across tenants running on the same r5900 chassis ? In the official F5OS documentation, I have noticed that every tenants inherits the licences provisionned on the F5OS chassis. But there is no explanation regarding the sharing of the VPN seats included in the APM VPN licences. Thank you.Solved110Views0likes4CommentsHow can I find the current connectivity sessions via SNMP?

After upgrading to version 16.1.4 the users need to manually start the End Point Inspector and the Web Initiated VPN by clicking on a "Start" button. This is describe in this KB. I created a user-common.js that will automatically click on the start button for the user. However, please note that this workround works as of 3rd of November 2023, but might stop working in the future in different browsers. In order to activate the workaround you need to have an Access Policy of the Moden type. Then go to Customizations -> Advanced -> Acces Profiles -> <Your Access Profile> -> Common Add the followinf to the file user-common.js define(["require", "exports", "apmui"], function (require, exports, apmui_1) { "use strict"; Object.defineProperty(exports, "__esModule", { value: true }); var app = apmui_1.App.get(); app.subscribe(apmui_1.EventType.EPS_CHECK_PROGRESS, function (_, store) { var btns = document.getElementsByClassName("apmui-button"); if (btns.length == 0) { console.log("Failed to find button..."); return; } btns[0].click(); }); app.subscribe(apmui_1.EventType.DIALOG_OPEN, function (_, store) { setTimeout(function () { var dialog = document.getElementById("sna_auto_start_not_supported"); if (dialog == null) { console.log("Didn't find the right dialog"); return; } var btns = dialog.getElementsByClassName("apmui-button"); if (btns.length == 0) { console.log("Didn't find the start button"); return; } btns[0].click(); }, 100); }); }); If you have a better solution to this, please let me know. This was just what I came up with when asked by customers that the new "Start" button had created confusion among their users.Solved1.4KViews5likes3Commentscant access to management interface after vpn using apm established

How it possible to edit the domain in Internet Security when it's prompt as this image below example image I has set the F5 APM to fixed the domain name, using Variable Resource Assign expr { "[mcget {session.ad.last.actualdomain}]\\[mcget {session.logon.last.username}]" } I try with Chrome, Firefox so it's work well, but in IE have fixed the Domain for each PC. For my guess, I think the behavior of Chrome and Firefox will be like Username : username Password : password after we input the information above the Variable Resource Assign will automatically add the domain to be the domain\username . On the other hand, the result of IE (that browser fix domain) will be like RINGWORLD\domain\username that will make authentication abort. My idea is to check the browser type, if the client use IE -> the F5 APM will remove the domain that fixed from the browser. Finally, I am not sure that it's possible to do it like this way or someone can give me a better solution. -F5 APM with Version 12.1.2 HF1 -IE Version 11 -F5 SSL VPN Thank you very much223Views0likes1Comment
