About defining a server from a URL
You can add BIG-IP® server definitions to F5 Access from a URL. You can
provide these URLs to users, so they can create and/or start VPN connections without having to
manually start the application.
Use the following URL and parameters to create a server:
f5access://create?server=server_address[¶meter1=value1¶meter2=value2...]
Special characters in parameters must be URL-encoded.
The syntax to define a server from a URL follows.
- server
- The server address is either a DNS name or an IP address.
- name
- An optional description of the server.
- username
- An optional parameter used to specify the user name with which to start the connection. When theusernameis specified without apassword, then an authentication prompt is displayed. If nousernameis specified during server creation, the user is prompted for it at session initiation, if required.
- password
- An optional parameter used to specify the password with which to start the server connection. When thepasswordparameter is specified, it is used as a one-time password and not saved in the configuration.
