APM Plugins for Firefox and IE

Hi, We are deploying the APM into a network. And we need to push the needed plugins for health check and login in for both firefox and IE through domain group policy or something like that. So, where to get these plugins and how to do that ?

    You can grab the plugins from the APM via the web GUI. Under the policies you can generate and download the required plugins for installation.

    Under Access Policy

     

    • Secure Connectivity

       

      • Clients Downloads

    Then find the link that says 'Component Installer Package for Windows'

     

    That will download the BigIPComponentInstaller.msi.exe (Not sure why it's a .msi.exe, but I don't run Windows, so can't check). Theres also the 'Client Troubleshooting Utility for Windows' available here as well.

     

    That's v12.0.0 BTW... Previous versions were a little different. IIRC you could select which portions of the code you wanted and it would create a custom installer for you. Not sure that's available in v12.0.0 any more (I don't tend to use the pre-install as most people I ever work with use BYOD's).

    It should be in there. Along with everything else.

     

    I checked, and you can still customise the install.

     

    Under 'Secure Connectivity' select the connectivity config for your endpoint. Then at the bottom of the screen is a button 'Customise Package'. Select that and you can create a customised installer that just contains the pieces you want (Third on the list is the ' Web Browser add-ons for BigIP Edge Client')
