The Cisco AnyConnect VPN client for Linux works fine in NoTouch and some OS images have it included. To enable it, a special set-up procedure is used:
- Repurpose one PC with the latest NoTouch image that includes the VPN client
- Create your normal connection (View, Citrix, whatever)
- Create a connection named "Start VPN" and with connection mode "Custom command".
- As soon as you have clicked the Change button, the parameter "Command to be executed" will appear a bit below. Set this parameter to:
- vpnclient connect ProfileName
- As soon as you have clicked the Change button, the parameter "Command to be executed" will appear a bit below. Set this parameter to:
- Enable Cisco VPN service (under Services)
- Reboot the machine, do NOT start any of the connections
- Open a terminal window (Configuration -> Console)
- Configure the Cisco VPN service
- This means that you create/edit your ProfileName.pcf connection file
- See here: Install Cisco VPN on Linux
- Save its profile to the standard location /etc/opts/cisco-vpnclient
- This means that you create/edit your ProfileName.pcf connection file
- Execute this command: cp -a /etc/opts/cisco-vpnclient /config/ciscovpn
- In the local configuration application of NoTouch, click on "All" and then on "Eventscripts". Set the parameter "Startup command 1" to the following value:
- mkdir -p /etc/opts ; cp -a /config/ciscovpn /etc/opts/cisco-vpnclient
- Save the config as usual, and reboot the machine, check the workflow:
- Boot
- Start the "Start VPN" connection
- Start the VMware connection
