Old thread (2015)...

Is there still a problem with MacOS using Pulse Secure to connect with SRX
Dynamic/Remote Access VPN ?  Anyone know how to make it work ?

I do have Windows 10 working fine... but not MacOS Apple laptop.

Using SRX300 15.1X49-D150.2 and Pulse client from Junipers website
5.1R5.1....

ps-pulse-win-5.1r5.1-b61437-64bitinstaller.msi - windows 10 working
ps-pulse-mac-5.1r5.1-b61437-installer.dmg - macos not working

Have you tried 0/1 and 128/1 instead of 0/0?

That's also required for backup-router destination as well, so might solve
this problem too.
