The IT unit at my institution just announced:
The Juniper SSL VPN system has been successfully upgraded to a secure
operating system. VPN connections are now available. An upgrade to your
Pulse client will be pushed down to secure the client side connection.
End quote.
Looking at:
http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/software/pulse/releasenotes/j-pulse-5.0r3-supportedplatforms.pdf
it does not appear that a Juniper Junos Pulse client exists for any
environments under than MS Windows and Apple Mac OS X . It appears from
the above that due to the SSL issues, Pulse will be required to use the
VPN here -- and for my work, I absolutely need VPN (all non-VPN remote
logins to a system, e.g., ssh -X, are blocked except through the VPN
channels).
Is anyone aware of a linux, and specifically SL 6x, workaround or port
of Pulse or a Pulse compatible application?
