View for iPad working with Juniper?

I've gotten VDI to work internally, but it makes more sense if I could VPN in and access my VDI machine from a starbucks etc....

Right now we have Juniper in place and configured on the FW, so we access a URL, which then redirects us to a webpage that has our VDI capable machines on it... this doesnt work for the iPad. We set this up with the VM/Juniper document. Has anyone used the iPad over SSL VPN? I've downloaded Junos Pulse, (which everywhere I read says theres one for the iPad but theres not) but that doesnt seem to work.

if you want an external access, you will need to install PCOIP Security Server. This server would need to be port open of 443 and 4172. With that in place you would not need a VPN too. For more info please refer to this: http://myvirtualcloud.net/?p=1685

justinsmith, the view cliente uses pcoip, and does not support NAT enviroments, in this case you need the security server. I am using the view over vpn but just only with the ipad client.

I tried using the Secure GW in 4.5 (the current version at the time) and it seemed like it required the ports to be open from the secure GW to EVERY VDI machine we spun up... so initially it was a 192.168.1.x range... which our FW team did not like. So VM and Juniper (the FW we use) published a document on how to configure the Juniper FW to work with View... and we did it... its pretty basic and simple. Uses a host checker etc... but its a webpage that you have to go to. Long story short, I can use view internally, but the webpage we use with Juniper gives me an unsupported OS version, thats why I was hoping someone got it to work with the Juniper. I guess I could try 4.6 Smiley Happy

webpage access is no longer supported with the latest view. you will need to download the client and then do a VPN connection instead.
