vmware view optimized v1.1.0 on F5 apm/ltm 11.4.1 HF4

Hello All,

 

I have the optimized vmware view iapp configured to point to our brand new vmware view 6.0 environment. We have followed the design guide to a tee, however no matter what I do, I am unable to get the vmware view client to consistently connect via the apm proxies. The internal Virtual Servers work as expected and the HTML5 client works via apm as expected, however both the vdi client via the webtop and the vdi client pointed directly at the external virtual server provides inconsistent results. Both have worked periodically, but not consistently.

 

11.4.1 hf4 running as a vcmp guest on a pair of v5200's. There is no other configuration on these guests except for the vdi configuration as they have not been put into production yet.

    Terry,

     

    Check out this support article: http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/15000/400/sol15409.html?ref=rss

     

    If you are using a newer client you may need to implement this iRule.

     

    Here is the iRule that you may need to add: when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [HTTP::path] == "/broker/xml" && [HTTP::header Expect] == "100-continue" } { SSL::respond "HTTP/1.0 100 Continue\r\n\r\n" } }

    You may have run into a known issue were View client 2.3 and 3.0 have trouble connecting to desktops after authentication and pool selection has been made. Page 26 of the DG has guidance for a workaround. I would also verify your connection server is set to not use "HTTP(s) Secure Tunnel" or "PCoIP Secure Gateway" as this is a common step that is improperly configured on the View servers.

    Both of these are the Correct answer. Two correct answers in less than an hour.

     

    But now I have another issue. It will initially work, but then will say "You are not Entitled to that desktop or application"
