The error is "failed because of Certificate difficulties." Again, nobody can make it clear to me why we get that vague error or why this stupid fix works, but in /usr/local/firefox, create the symbolic links it asks for in Step 2.Ĭaution: I'm on Debian Multiarch right now, and first I tried to create the symbolic links from the That unexpected operator error is annoying, but if you read vpn_install.sh, you see it is complainingĪbout the cleanup after the install, so I think it is harmless.Īfter that, the app menu does have Cisco An圜onnect under Internet, but it won't run. vpn_install.sh: 166: [: unexpected operator Vpnagentd_init 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off Insserv: warning: script 'vpnagentd_init' missing LSB tags and overrides Insserv: warning: script 'K01vpnagentd_init' missing LSB tags and overrides The script has some flaws I've not diagnosed fully yet, resulting in this error. That won't work when run with sudo, but logging in as root does work (sudo -s).

That still assumes that the chkconfig software is installed. Tarball, not a single self extracting script.

I just went through this same install with the VPN setup that the university is now providing. This would have us insert symbolic links from several shared libraries in a directory /usr/local/firefox I found it at these sites, just a few hours before I received this message from itcsc describing the same fix Carry out the weird, ad hoc fix that is described in the email I just received from KU IT and also on these websites. This makes no sense to me at all, but it does work. vpnsetup.sh assumes chkconfig is installed and used to set daemons, but it is no longer default on Fedora or RedHat.Īfter installing chkconfig, run vpnsetup.sh again, then there is an error message you try to use Cisco An圜onnect client:Īn圜onnect cannot confirm it is connected to your secure gateway. There are several flaws in the script, however, which make this a relatively tough, confusing install. The University adopted Cisco An圜onnect, which is provided in a shell script "vpnsetup.sh". Since I wasn’t aware of the DNS server’s address on the other end I used Google’s DNS server (8.8.8.8) which worked just fine because the network on the other side provided Internet access.I've just wasted several hours on configuring VPN for my university's system.

In any case this can easily be fixed by clicking on the IPv4 tab of the VPN configuration in the NetworkManager and choosing ‘Automatic (VPN) addresses only’ as configuration method and then supplying the DNS server’s IP address manually in the provided input field for DNS server addresses. For some strange reason, however, the DNS server was not configured correctly during the connection establishment and I’m not sure if that’s a problem with the VPN connector or the VPN server setup on the other side. That’s all there was to it and I got a connection to the VPN server the first time I tried.
