Installing NetExtender on Linux
Secure Mobile Access supports NetExtender on Linux. To use NetExtender on your Linux system, your system must meet the following prerequisites:
- i386-compatible distribution of Linux
- Linux Fedora Core 15 or higher, Ubuntu 11.10 or higher, or OpenSUSE 10.3 or higher
To install NetExtender on your Linux system
- Log in to the SonicWall Virtual Office.
-
Click NetExtender. A pop-up window indicates that you have chosen to open a
.tgz
file. Click OK to save it to your default download directory.You must be logged in as root to install NetExtender, although many Linux systems allows the
sudo ./install
command to be used if you are not logged in as root. -
To install NetExtender from the CLI, navigate to the directory where you saved the
.tgz
file and enter thetar -zxf NetExtender.tgz
command. - Enter the
cd netExtenderClient/
command. -
Enter
su -C “ ./install”
to install NetExtender. - Enter your system password.
-
The installer asks if you want non-root users to be able to run NetExtender. Enter either y for yes or n for no.
To allow non-root users to run NetExtender, the installer sets PPPD to run as root. This could be considered a security risk.
