charon-cmd howto?
Dear community
I want to connect to our server in the school, but our stuff only supports M$-Windows and Mac. For OS X for example, they provide the following information: *** VPN für OS X Open System Config -> Network -> ADD VPN type: CISCO IPSec, Server Addrers XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX User-Name, Password, Group-Name, Group-Key now, I have tried to connect using shrew-ike. But the provided source cann't be compiled under lubuntu 19.10, and the pre-compiled version for debian leads to a core-dumped. So I looked around and found "charon-cmd". Which I hope I can use. Problem: I have not found, which switches (options) I have to set to connect to our VPN. Because our IT-Team only supports Windows/Mac, they have not many ideas either. Has anyone found a way to connect to a VPN using charon-cmd? Thanks for any help. φ |
Doesn't network-manager have VPN functionality already?
Unfortunately Lubuntu does not use it by default; try installing network-manager, then see if you can create a new VPN connection. Maybe you have to install some network-manager VPN plugin as well. |
Thanks ondoho
I already had installed network-manager. I added network-manager-strongswan (for IKE), network-manager-vpnc and network-manager-vpnc-gnome. I have not found a network-manager-ike, which could possibly connect to our shrew-server (shrew.net). Unfortunately shrew.net did not work on the linux software since 2013 (?); at least, this is the newest linux-client-version I have found. It helped that far, that I have now new a "Cisco Compatible VPN (vpnc)" menu point, when I create a new VPN connection. I have also found a field "group-name" and "group-password" which are provided by my employer. But when I leave all other values as "default", the connection does not provide a VPN (or does it? I can't see any). It seams, that the IKE Protocols are not implemented by the Linux-CISCO-VPN-Client? Any help is welcome. φ |
Apparently this shrew product does not work with network-manager?
Try this: https://askubuntu.com/questions/9820...r-ubuntu-16-04 (result of a quick web search) |
Thanks ondoho
That's what I initially tried (after a deeper web-search), whith no success. The binaries are outdated (lead to core dumped) and the build crashes. φ |
davfs
We have now also davfs.
So solved for me. |
