Has anyone had experience getting a browser-based SSL VPN to work on the n810? Our company uses F5 FirePass which created a browser plugin to connect to its VPN hardware. I tried to install a plugin both through the browser and manually as root with the terminal and had no luck. The components are all in the right places and have the right permissions according to F5 but the browser just does not seem to recognize the plugin. F5's directions are below. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I'm going to have to return this to Nokia if I can't access my work network with it.

Mobile" 2003 First Edition Here are the installation instructions: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When you use Network Access for the very first time on a remote system using recent versions of Netscape or Mozilla browsers, the automatic plug-in installation mechanism downloads the Network Access client-side components. There are two components: the plug-in itself, and a standalone application that needs to run with root privileges. Therefore, it must be installed on the remote system as a suid root application. The plug-in installation process tries to use 'su' or 'sudo' utilities to elevate user privileges to perform the installation. Sometimes, due to policy restrictions, these privileges are unavailable. In this case, you can download the plug-in and other components, and install them manually. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To install the Network Access plug-in manually, download the plugin and the SSLVpn.tgz file from the following locations: Plugin-- https://vpn.emory.edu/vdesk/vpn/nogzip/downloads.php/linux/np_F5_SSL_VPN.so Other components-- https://vpn.emory.edu/vdesk/vpn/nogzip/downloads.php/linux/SSLVpn.tgz SSLVpn.tgz contains the full paths to the application files (under /usr/local/lib). Do not attempt to install these in a different directory. For security reasons, it is important to preserve all the directories permissions and ownership of the files included in the package (and, of course, to make sure that the svpn application is suid root). This command: cd /; tar xpzvf should do the job on most systems. [root at mybox]# cd /; tar xpzvf /downloads/SSLVpn.tgz usr/local/lib/F5Networks/SSLVPN/ usr/local/lib/F5Networks/SSLVPN/svpn usr/local/lib/F5Networks/SSLVPN/etc/ usr/local/lib/F5Networks/SSLVPN/etc/version.txt usr/local/lib/F5Networks/SSLVPN/var/ usr/local/lib/F5Networks/SSLVPN/var/log/ usr/local/lib/F5Networks/SSLVPN/var/run/ You can install the plug-in np_F5_SSL_VPN.so for a particular user (for example, in the directory $HOME/.mozilla/plugins) or system-wide (for example, in /usr/local/lib/mozilla/plugins). cp np_F5_SSL_VPN.so /usr/local/firefox/plugins/ Restart your browser. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To uninstall Network Acces client-side components from the system, simply remove (recursively) the directory /usr/local/lib/F5Networks/SSLVPN, and the plug-in from the installed location. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
