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:

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.
