Bug ID 716180: Some browsers may prevent the Start Screen from opening in a new tab when set to Network Map

Last Modified: Jul 12, 2023

Affected Product(s):
BIG-IP LTM(all modules)

Fixed In:
14.1.0

Opened: Apr 20, 2018

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

Network Map opens in a new tab when it serves as the Start Screen (as set in System :: Preferences), essentially acting as a popup window. Depending on the browser and the security settings you have, the browser might prevent the Network Map from opening and might post an error, or show the general Welcome page instead.

Impact

The browser does not open Network Map in a new tab, and posts an error or the main Welcome screen instead.

Conditions

-- Set the Network Map as the Start Screen. -- Log out and log back in to the BIG-IP system.

Workaround

To work around this issue, add the BIG-IP system's IP address to the browser's whitelist or allowed-popups list.

Fix Information

Network Map opens in a new tab when it serves as the Start Screen. The main Welcome page also opens at startup.
