F5 access

VPN Configurations do not migrateVPN configurations created in F5 Access 2.1.x do not migrate to F5 Access 3.x. This applies to both manually created VPN configurations and configurations deployed with an MDM or with .mobileconfig files. For manually created VPN configurations, users must recreate the VPN configurations manually in F5 Access 3.x. For VPN configurations deployed with an MDM or .mobileconfig files, device-wide and Per-App VPN configurations deployed for F5 Access 2.1.x will not work on F5 Access 3.x. These configurations need to be re-deployed using updated VPN MDM profiles. See guidance on how to create VPN MDM profiles for F5 Access 3.x in the Managing Devices chapter, and in the Guide BIG-IP APM and F5 Access for iOS. Changes with client certificates All certificates that are installed in F5 Access 2.1.x are not used with F5 Access 3.x. This applies to certificates installed manually or with MDM or .mobileconfig files. If a client certificate was manually installed by the user, the certificate must be imported again into F5 Access 3.x, using the new procedure, as described in the F5 Access User Guide on the device. Certificates in the system certificate storage are no longer used. If client certificates were installed with an MDM or using a .mobileconfig file, such certificates must be reinstalled with the new VPN MDM profile. See information on how to create these VPN MDM profiles for F5 Access 3.x in the Managing Devices chapter, and in the Guide BIG-IP APM and F5 Access for iOS. Notifications F5 Access 3.x prompts users to allow notifications. It is important that the user Allow these notifications if your deployment presents any prompts to user, including native prompts for username and password, Web Logon prompts, and device-authentication prompts. If notifications are not allowed, these scenarios cannot complete. Device identity information Because of changes with iOS, in F5 Access 3.x there is no method to obtain the UDID from the device. The session variable session.client.mdm_device_unique_id is submitted during authentication, if the value for this session variable is provided in an MDM profile. Restriction: The variable session.client.mdm_device_unique_id is submitted only on BIG-IP version 13.1.0 and later. This variable is not submitted on 11.5.1, 11.5.7, 11.6.3, or 12.1.3. For the purpose of backwards compatibility, the same value will be submitted as session.client.unique_id too, but again, only if this value is defined by the MDM profile. Note: This variable is submitted on all versions (11.5.1 through 14.1.0). If the device is not enrolled with an MDM, then no value for this variable is submitted. See information on how to create VPN MDM profiles for F5 Access 3.x in the Managing Devices chapter, and in the Guide BIG-IP APM and F5 Access for iOS.

MyF5 Home BIG-IP Access Policy Manager: Edge Client version 7.1.9 and Application Configuration Configuring Access Policy Manager for MDM applications Manual Chapter : Configuring Access Policy Manager for MDM applications Applies To: Show Versions BIG-IP APM 17.1.2, 17.1.1, 17.1.0, 17.0.0, 16.1.5, 16.1.4, 16.1.3, 16.1.2, 16.1.1, 16.1.0, 16.0.1, 16.0.0, 15.1.9, 15.1.8, 15.1.7, 15.1.6, 15.1.5, 15.1.4, 15.1.3, 15.1.2, 15.1.1, 15.1.0, 15.0.1, 15.0.0, 14.1.5, 14.1.4, 14.1.3, 14.1.2, 14.1.0, 14.0.1, 14.0.0, 13.1.5, 13.1.4, 13.1.3, 13.1.1, 13.1.0 Overview: Configuring APM for device posture checks with endpoint management systems MDM solutions are responsible for managing user devices, where a user enrolls a device (or devices) and sets certain compliance policy which dictates whether a device is compliant or non-compliant. The endpoint management system determines whether the APM recognizes the device before allowing access from the access policy. An endpoint management system also controls the corporate data on mobile devices. Edge Client establishes a VPN connection with APM, and an endpoint management system (Airwatch, MaaS360, or Intune) manages and sends device details to APM. To reduce the number of queries to the MDM server, the Database Synchronization Manager lists all the compliant devices in the case of Airwatch and MaaS360 & non-compliant devices in the case of Microsoft Intune and stores the information in the local cache. The synchronization interval is configurable to fit your situation and is refreshed after every 4 hours by default to get a new list of devices. When a device tries to connect through the F5 Access client, the local cache is queried for the device ID. When the device ID is not found, the device is verified by the MDM server. When the device is found compliant, the device ID is added to the local cache after the user logs in. Only iOS devices and Android devices with VPN access to APM from specific mobile device apps that are being managed by MDM (F5 Access Client Apps) are supported. For example, if you connect to APM WebTop from a browser in a device then APM will not get a device ID and cannot check for device compliance. F5 Access for MacOS and Windows are currently not supported. For devices with iOS 12 and later, F5 Access client could not retrieve device ID from iOS due to Apple imposed constraints and compliance check failed. Microsoft's Network access control (NAC) integration with Intune provides a new temporary NAC ID to identify the device. This ID is pushed to the F5 Access client through the F5 Access profile in Intune. For iOS devices, the device is always verified by the MDM server as the NAC ID is not stored in the local cache. To use NAC for VPN on iOS devices, the Enable network

F5 has issued a security advisory warning about a flaw that may allow unauthenticated attackers with network access to execute arbitrary system commands, perform file actions, and disable services on BIG-IP.The vulnerability is tracked as CVE-2022-1388 and has a CVSS v3 severity rating of 9.8, categorized as critical. Its exploitation can potentially lead up to a complete system takeover.According to F5's security advisory, the flaw lies in the iControl REST component and allows a malicious actor to send undisclosed requests to bypass the iControl REST authentication in BIG-IP.Due to the severity of the vulnerability and the widespread deployment of BIG-IP products in critical environments, CISA (Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency) has also issued an alert today.The complete list of the affected products is given below:BIG-IP versions 16.1.0 to 16.1.2 BIG-IP versions 15.1.0 to 15.1.5 BIG-IP versions 14.1.0 to 14.1.4 BIG-IP versions 13.1.0 to 13.1.4 BIG-IP versions 12.1.0 to 12.1.6 BIG-IP versions 11.6.1 to 11.6.5F5 has introduced fixes in v17.0.0, v16.1.2.2, v15.1.5.1, v14.1.4.6, and v13.1.5. The branches of 12.x and 11.x will not receive a fixing patch.Also, the advisory clarifies that BIG-IQ Centralized Management, F5OS-A, F5OS-C, and Traffic SDC are not impacted by CVE-2022-1388.Affected products and fixed versions (F5)F5 has provided the following three effective mitigations that may be used temporarily for those who can't apply the security updates immediately.Block all access to the iControl REST interface of your BIG-IP system through self IP addresses, restrict access only to trusted users and devices via the management interface, or modify the BIG-IP httpd configuration.F5 has provided all the details on how to do the above in the advisory, but some methods like blocking access completely may impact services, including breaking high availability (HA) configurations. As such, applying the security updates is still the recommended pathway to follow, if possible.Finally, F5 has released

Backup is successful only for two F5 devices out of 12 which are standby. We have checked, Device configuration, all settings & F5 Template is same for all working and non-working devices.Checked with Solarwind and F5 OEM, but received nothing specific which will address the issue.Anyone can suggest, what could be the issue.Thanks in advance...!!! It sounds like it used to work and now doesn't. So you need to check what has changed. Check firewalls, permissions etc. Did you manage to get this to work? Which version of NCM are you running? Yes, it was working previously and nothing has been changed from Device as well from Solarwind end. No, its still not working. We are using NCM 7.8. Today, received revert from support team ", it seems related to the encryption that NCM is using. They need match inoder for NCM to be able to access the device." I am also having this issue. I am running into the same thing. We are also running 7.8. It had been working up until recently. We are also running F5 version 14.0.0.3 build 0.0.4 We are now able to take backup for F5. TAC support given one DLL file to replace with existing one. After changing it, backup is successful.
