Symptoms

The external logon page does not post the Action required pop-up dialog box of BIG-IP Edge Client.

Impact

The impact is that the user does not know that there are required actions to perform.

Conditions

This occurs when APM uses the external logon page.

Workaround

To workaround this issue, you must inject the following JavaScript code into the External Logon page: <body onload="OnLoad()"> ... <script language="javascript"> function OnLoad() { try{ if ( "undefined" != typeof(window.external) && "unknown" != typeof(window.external) && "undefined" != typeof(window.external.WebLogonNotifyUser) && "unknown" != typeof(window.external.WebLogonNotifyUser) ){ window.external.WebLogonNotifyUser(); } }catch(e){alert(e)}; } </script>

Fix Information

None
