APM Launch Application MAC OS X

Hello,

 

I'm trying to give access to a CIFS share through a Network Access (since that's the only way I could find that works). It's not a very good solution, but it works until we have a proper solution in place like WebDAV, etc. If you have any recommendations on that, I would love to get some, but that's not the main purpose of this post.

 

We have two types of clients: Windows XP through 7 and MAC OS X 10.6 through 10.8. I've successfully been able to launch an application on Windows using the Application Launch type on a Network Access. However, I've not been able to launch anything on a MAC OS X 10.8 (didn't try the other versions yet). I understood, from the documentation (http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/prod...tml107913), that I need to use "open" as the application path and "-a ..." as the parameters. Unfortunately, this isn't working and I'm wondering why. The following is in the Java Console logs: RunFP_LaunchApp(), App not found:, . I've tried every combinations I could think like using the full path to open or calling the .app directly. I'm attempting to launch at least one app and then I can work my way back to launch exactly what I want.

 

I'll be contacting F5 Support on this one, but I wanted to share my thoughts with the community and post back once I find the answer!

 

So my question is, has someone successfully used that before on MAC OS X?

 

Thanks,

 

Jon

  • I've managed to launch an URL on a broser using this with version 11.3:

     

    Application path: /usr/bin/open

     

    Parameters: -a safari https://www.apple.com

     

     

    Try to use /usr/bin/open instead of just open
