iOS 7 - Per App VPN
Does F5 support the per app VPN available now on iOS 7?
If so, can each app authenticate as different "users"?

I would say YES. A VPN SSL tunnel is a VPN SSL tunnel. All the job is done by iOS. The rest is a normal tunnel.

There is a forthcoming update to the F5 iOS EDGE client that will support per-app VPN. It should be available on the App Store within 2-3 weeks.

No, the user credentials would have to be the same for all tunnels.

With the updated 2.0 client, did you manage to get this working?
Yes, it certainly works, but provisioning/configuring it requires an MDM device that is updated to the version that is compatible with Per-App VPN settings specifically for iOS7. If you are not using MDM product, you won't be able to provision this - this limitation is from Apple and not F5.
If you are using MDM and having issues provisioning Per-App VPN, please post more details here.

@Michael Koyfman,
Yes i am using the MDM. I configure the payload as per the Apple MDM reference, and then specify the UUID of the connection for the apps in the settings payload. Once i start the app, i get a 'App layer vpn required' error in console logs; if i start the connection BEFORE i start the app, i get the 'no local address specified' and 'no remote address specified' errors when the app tries to access the internet.
Which MDM are you using, Alex?
