User documentation for this release

Features and enhancements in 2.0.5
| ID Number | Description |
|---|---|
| 457325 | Edge Client now supports the ability for IBM MaaS360 Mobile Device Management 5.0 to configure and enable Edge Client for secure connectivity. |
| 428089 | A user can now hide the Edge Client UI when a connection has been successfully established. |
| 462111 | Previously, if a user types a user name in the configuration user name field, Edge Client uses a two-factor authentication that consists of a certificate as well as a user name and password combination. Now, the user can configure a certificate-only authentication without a user name and password by adding a certificate to the configuration while leaving the user name field empty. |
Fixes in 2.0.5
| ID Number | Description |
|---|---|
| 426900 | Edge Client does not use the password provided in the URL with syntax "f5edgeclient://start". Previously, a user is asked to enter credentials even when they are already specified in the URL. Now, if the user name and password are specified in the f5edgeclient://start URL, they will be used for authentication. |
Known issues in 2.0.5
| ID Number | Description |
|---|---|
| 472747 | The Samsung keyboard auto-spacing feature on certain Samsung devices installed with Android 4.4 can cause a problem with Web Logon authentication if a password string contains punctuation marks. Newer Android builds, such as 4.4.2, do not have this issue. To work around this issue, disable the auto-spacing feature in the Samsung keyboard settings. Authentication with a client certificate is not currently supported in Web Logon mode with Android 4.4. |
