Linux Ubuntu Setup-Guide:

1.) Open the UZH-Sharepoint VPN Access folder: UZH-Sharepoint

2.) Open the folder with the highest version number (newest)

3.) Open "Ubuntu - Debian" --> Download the file ending with ".deb"

4.) Now open the Command Line:

• Installing the needed libraries:

  sudo apt-get install libnss3-tools

• Entering the directory where the installer was saved (In this example the installer was saved in /Downloads, make sure to check where you downloaded the installer):

  cd ~/Downloads

• Installing the Client (here you will need the exact name of the installer file):

  sudo dpgk -i name-of-the-installer.deb

5.) The client should now be installed --> start it and set up the VPN-Connection by following these steps:

• Press the Plus-Sign to add a Connection

• Insert the following information --> then press "Add":

6.) The connection should now be visible under "Connections" --> simply press "Connect" to activate the VPN

Troubleshooting:

If you get this Error: Chromium embedded browser (cef) is not installed on this machine when trying to connect, then try the following steps:

• Open the command line and enter the /pulsesecure/bin directory by executing :

  cd /opt/pulsesecure/bin 

• Execute this command to install the missing program:

  ./setup_cef.sh install

• Execute this command to verify the installation:

  ./setup_cef.sh check_installed

• Now retry connecting, it should work.

Verifying if the VPN is active:

Open this page IP-check Before connecting to the VPN --> make a note of the IP shown.

Now connect to the VPN and refresh the page --> if the IP shown is different from the one you made a note of, it most likely means that the VPN is active.
