INTRANET APPLICATION THROUGH PORTAL_ACCESS

I am currently doing APM POC.

 

Customer wants to access their intranet application through APM SSL-VPN solution.

 

Only hostname is specified in this intranet application html file

 

For example http://tnservice/default.aspx or http://server1:88/default.aspx http://helpdesk/default.html

 

FQDN - is not defined in the html file.

 

Their Active directory fully qualified domain name is tno.local.

 

I configured this intranet application through portal access full patching method and also tried minimal patching Application URI was defined as follows http://tnvservice

 

we got the DNS resolution error when accessing this application through APM portal access.

 

I configured the host entry in the f5 local hosts file still - got the DNS error.

 

I tried with stream profile attached to portal access virtual server as follows

 

source: tnservice.tno.local target: tnvservice

 

I got the initial log screen from the application after that application throws an error http://tnservice/---- not found

 

But it is working fine - via full Network access and web application access (LTM virtual server)

 

is it any other way to resolve host name specified in the application.

 

BIG-IP Software and Hardware details

 

version 11.5 LTM + APM

 

Appreciate your response and feedback

 

Regards Thasin

    The DNS server is it able to resolve the hostname? Have you configured the DNS server?

     

  • you should rewrite the URL. Normally it's done "automatically" in full patching mode (maybe not the case because you do not have a FQDN?) In minimal patching your can provide the rewritten hostname in the configuration screen. Try to write a FQDN instead of just a hostname for the URL
