FIGURE 21 Selecting VPN connections and the SSL‐VPN profile
NOTE
If the profile fails, verify that your system has the Network Manager OpenVPN plugin installed.
Depending on your Linux desktop, you might need the following packages:
• network‐manager‐openvpn‐gnome or NetworkManager‐openvpn‐gnome
• network‐manager‐openvpn‐kde or NetworkManager‐openvpn‐kde4
• network‐manager‐openvpn
OpenVPN CLI
The SSL-VPN client bundle can also be used with the OpenVPN command line interface, which
requires that you install the openvpn package.
Enter the unpackaged directory for the SSL-VPN client bundle and run the following command:
$ sudo openvpn SSL-VPN_client_bundle_name.ovpn
NOTE
Using this command requires root privileges.
This Open VPN command-line prompt requests the username and password for authentication. Use
either the IT administrator-provided credentials or your cooperating credentials.
OS X platform
For OS X, the client bundle consists of a generic OpenVPN formatted configuration file for OpenVPN
OS X clients. To make use of the SSL-VPN client bundle for OS X, you must first install an OpenVPN
client application for OS X. There are various OS X OpenVPN clients available. All of those are
compatible with the provided SSL-VPN client bundle configuration for OS X.
