I'm currently using Junos Pulse 3.1.1.26369 on OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2 connection to an SM160 SA running 7.3R1.   Everything seems to work well (including the MDM-managed certificate for authentication - snazzy!) but I have one problem: after choosing Disconnect in the Pulse menu, the tunnel disppears but by network connection to my LAN and the Internet appears no longer functional. I cannot access anything at all.   The only way to get it back is to disable the WiFi interface and re-enable it again.   Anyone else experiencing this problem or is it just me? ... View more

My understanding is that Windows 8 is 'officially' supported as of 7.3R1.   Our issue is that we're still running quite a few SA6000s that only support up to IVE 7.1. Does anyone know if there is a workaround to getting Host Checker to work on Windows 8 with IVE OS 7.1? Our rollout of MAGs is still 3-6 months away so this will likely become a bit of an issue in the interim... ... View more

This is very strange.   I've figured out why applets some times will not load in Mountain Lion. Check out the screenshot - you'll see that ML refuses to trust the certificate because the key size is unsupported.     Note however in the 2nd screenshot, sometimes applets are signed with a different certificate that is fully trusted (issued by Verisign) and has no keysize or other issues. When applets are signed with this cert, everything is fine and the user can opt to allow the applet to run.     What I haven't figured out yet is what controls which certificate is used to sign the applets. It seems to me at the moment to be random.   We're currently running 7.1R6 in production.   ... View more

Just in case this helps anyone else, we've just managed to get this working in our environment. As the OP suggested, you configure it like a regular ActiveSync connection to a Microsoft Exchange server. The only difference from a regular ActiveSync configuration is that you must configure the server hostname on the iOS device as: junipersa.companyxyz.com/servlet/traveler Once we did that, everything (so far) just works! ...

From what I understand, the rewriter doesn't support HTML5 features like WebSockets yet so AccessNow will not work. We've recently been told HTML5 support is due 2H12 at present. ... View more

Hi, Glad to know it's not just us. We also have the same workaround in place at the moment. For those on Windows 7, we're advising to use Internet Explorer until it is fixed. I did attempt some debugging of the login page templates to see if it was something in the user-editable portion of the login pages. After digging around a little, it appears the function dsIsJavaAvailable() in clientSetup.js is returning false instead of true. This also explains why it works on Windows XP; a separate block of code is used to evaluate Java availability on XP. Unfortunately clinetSetup.js is part of the core SA javascript code and not something that is properly fixable in the logon template (you could however probably hack in a temporary fix). There are apparently already hundreds of reports of this issue on Mozilla's site so hopefully it'll be fixed in the next patch release: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/880125 ...

FYI we've had a Request For Enhancement open for this for several years now but still to no avail.Adding a few more may help but it sounds like Juniper have prioiritised this one as 'not important' or perhaps 'too hard' (although I doubt it - surely it's just a switch you pass to the Microsoft RDP ActiveX control?) It's a seemingly simple change so I'm not sure why it hasn't been implemented yet. Personally speaking and from the outside looking in, it appears Juniper are not all that interested in making any changes to the client interface or adding relatively simple end-user enhancements like this. How about native RDP/ICA support for Mac OSX? OSX is still a decidedly 2nd-class citizen with IVE, despite it's rapid uptake at home for personal use (where the majority of our RAS access comes from). Java is OK but not as fast as native and not without its own set of problems (have yet to see what the experience is like on Lion, which will be the first OS to ship without a native JVM from Apple I believe). Ok enough of my griping, our alternative solution has been to use the HobLink JWT Java applet - not free but it does support multi-monitor mode just fine. ... View more

We've done some more testing and it looks like this isn't just affecting ActiveSync - cert auth in Junos Pulse for iOS isn't working either. It's definitely looking like a generic issue with this build verifying and authenticating our certificates. I'd be interested to know if anyone else has run into this. One possibility is that it's the CA we're using isn't issuing certificates with the correct purpose flags set. There doesn't appear to be any documentation, configuration or log messages that make this clear so I'm wondering if anyone else has successfully used certificate auth in 7.1R2? If so, which CA are you using and what purpose are your certificates provisioned for (IPSec, Client Authentication, Smart Card etc)? ... View more

You could create a separate realm for Mobile devices that have Host Checker enabled along with a UserAgent check (eg. *iPhone*, *iPad*) to prevent it being used on non-mobile devices. Not bullet-proof but might get you over the line... ... View more
