There has been some odd behavior in Firefox on Windows machines when connecting to Juniper SSL VPN. Immediately after login users are taken to a blank white page. The URL of the page contains data/home/starter0.cgi?check=yes . The page you should be redirected to includes data/home/starter.cgi?check=yes.
Juniper’s suggested work around is to go back to the sign in screen and login again or to remove the 0 from between starter and .cgi. Both are manual solutions, wouldn’t it be easier to have an automatic solution.
Well here it is.
Download the Firefox add on Redirector - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5064
After installation you will need to restart Firefox
Open Redirector by right clicking on the R in the status bar in Firefox
Click Add…
The Example url is the full url you get stuck on i.e. https://this.ismyexample.com/data/home/starter0.cgi?check=yes
The Include Pattern is https://this.ismyexample.com/data/home/starter0.*
Redirect to is https://this.ismyexample.com/data/home/starter.cgi?check=yes
Set the Pattern Type to Wildcard and click Test pattern
You should get a message that indicates that the pattern matches. If not go back and check your typing.
Click Ok
Click Close
Go back and log in again. You should go right past the page you were getting stuck at previously.
Be safe
