Issues when deploying Lync 2013 iApp
We are currently running our lync 2013 environment through our F5 Bigip running v11.4.1. The config was previously working on 11.3 according to users but the upgrade was performed on 9/17 and it is just now being reported. Using the iApp we have deployed the Reverse proxy portion and we are trying to deploy the external Edge Services portion but we are running into some issues with A/V and Web conferencing. Whenever a user joins a meeting it will immediately disconnect the user from the meeting. We have been able to isolate this behavior as being something with the F5 but we can not troubleshoot where or what is causing this behavior. Has anyone else encountered the same thing or something similar?
Another unrelated observation, the iApp for 2013 needs to be modified for the reverse proxy portion because of how lync 2013 mobile clients connect originally. They first make a HTTP connection to lyncexternalfrontend.domain.com:80 that is forwarded to your lyncinternalfrontend.fqdn.domain.com:8080. After successful connection to 80, they connect via HTTPS for the rest of the session.
