Preparing Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit for Juniper VPN client
Raw
juniper-vpn-ubuntu-64-bit-notes.md

I have followed the superb guide at MadScientist, and it was very helpful. Also, their client written in Perl works like a charm!

But as I have found the guide uncomplete when you are installing the client from scratch in a clean system, I'm writing this gist.

  1. You have to install both icedtea-plugin and icedtea-netx packages in order to get the Juniper VPN client files for the first time using the Juniper applet launched in your VPN https site. In a clean system, it will pull openjdk-7-jre and icedtea-7-plugin, among other packages.
  2. It is advisable your account has administration privileges, at least when Juniper VPN client files are installed by the Juniper applet.
  3. Once you have got the Juniper VPN client files installed into your account, icedtea-plugin, icedtea-netx and their dependencies are not needed.
