The OU is using a VPN. You can connect with a Java applet, unfortunately, we’re still running an older version that relies on the 32 bit java version.
Instructions for working around that can be found
here.
Moreover, my home dir is encrypted, which apparently a problem (see comment about encrypted home dirs).
Solution to that one from here:
move the setuid binaries somewhere else and symlink them.
I.e.:
- sudo mv $HOME/.juniper_networks/network_connect/ncsvc /opt/juniper-vpn/ncsvc
- ln -s /opt/juniper-vpn/ncsvc $home/.juniper_networks/network_connect/ncsvc
This gets it working. Funnily enough, I still cannot connect directly to intranet – so what is Juniper now doing for me anyway? :)
Edit
Note that you should *ONLY* link the SUID binary. If you symlink the whole directory, it doesn’t work and Juniper crashes.
(Thanks Juniper, for that fun-filled 45 minutes of hunting the internet on why you crashed!)
