Add the FirePass client to that browser and the operating system.įor the Firefox install, follow the “Manual Installation” instructions from the Ubuntu Community Documentation site.
Solution: Install a dedicated, 32-bit version of Firefox in a supported version create a single-purpose Firefox profile for VPN use. The manual download instruction links are also broken on the FirePass install I connect to. There is no Google Chrome support that I am aware of.įurther, F5’s automated client installation tools have unfortunately never worked for me on Linux, even when the architecture and browser are in their support matrix. For Firefox 3.6 support, a comment on the post linked above states that you need to request a special hot fix from F5 (which my site has not applied). F5 has also been somewhat slow in supporting new browser versions: They announced support for Firefox 3 on October 6, 2008, nearly four months after its release and with only two months to go before Firefox 2 was end-of-lifed. Preliminaries: Although the F5 FirePass SSL VPN product supports Linux, as best as I can tell, that support is somewhat limited: My understanding is that they officially claim support for 32-bit installs only, and they do not appear to track new distribution releases particularly aggressively. A CLI FirePass client is quite likely a better solution than separate browser instances, etc. See also: f5vpn-login.py, described here, and brought to my attention by sh4k3sph3r3. There may be better methods to address this issue please comment if you know of one. Disclaimer: I am not a FirePass administrator only an end-user and have no other relationship with F5.
