Opened: Jun 05, 2015

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

When an APM & Horizon v6.1.1 deployment is configured to use an APM Full Webtop, the HTML5 client will not correctly launch. A new tab will open and the user will see a HTTP 405 error on that page.

Impact

HTML5 Client access will stop working.

Conditions

View Connection Server backend is running version 6.1.1.

Workaround

None

Fix Information

Starting with the 6.1.1 release of View Connection Server, the communication protocol used by the View HTML5 client has changed. This change breaks BIG-IP APM's HTML5 View client implementation. As such, APM users cannot use this client to access their View Desktop. This fix implements the new View communication protocol to support launching of the View HTML5 client from an APM Full Webtop.
