Installing Aventail Connect Tunnel Agent into Linux

1. Create a folder in the target client computer where you would place the downloaded Aventail Connect Tunnel Agent for Linux.


2. Go to the folder. Download and untar the attached tar file using the following command.
   
   I found the file required here http://wireless.depaul.edu/downloads/AventailConnect-Linux.tar. We may want to stick this on one of our own sites...
   

tar -xf AventailConnect-Linux.tar



You should see the following files extracted:


AventailConnect-Linux-8.80.146.tar.bz2

install.sh

version


3. Install the agent with the following command:

sudo /bin/bash install.sh



You should see the following message in your screen:

Looking for tun driver... tun is present and correct.
Unpacking archive AventailConnect-Linux-8.80.146.tar.bz2...

Done installing Aventail Connect.

Use 'startct' to start Aventail Connect
Use 'startctui' to run the Aventail Connect graphical interface (requires java)
Use 'stopct' to stop Aventail Connect

I had to run 'sudo /bin/bash startct' to start the connection. Works like a charm


4. You should now be able to connect to the IRRIAD network using Aventail.

My Outlook 2007 finally connects to Exchange 2003 with RPC over HTTPS proxy on Vista.

There is this application called "Windows Easy Transfer" that comes along
with Vista. Its in "All Programs" | "Accessories" | "System Tools" menu.
Among other things, it claims to be able to transfer email settings too. You
might want to give it a try.


Please try the following steps on the Vista client:

1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit in the Open box, and then click OK.
2. Locate and then click the following subkey:
   HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Outlook\RPC
3. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
4. Type DefConnectOpts, and then press ENTER.
5. Right-click DefConnectOpts, and then click Modify.
6. In the Value data box, type 0, and then click OK.
7. Exit Registry Editor.
8. Please restart the client machine, re-configure the Outlook profile, and try again log on via RPC over HTTP

Again, my Vista setups did not have the RPC key on the computer. So, I created the key, created the value and rebooted the computer. Deleted the old outlook profile, created a new one and tested. This time it worked.
