So I did what any *nix geek would do and figured it out on my own with a little know-how and a lot of Googling.įirst and foremost, the SSL Network Extender client requires Java. That being said, there were really no directions on how to get the Checkpoint SSL VPN working with my Debian Jessie/Testing desktop, or my Ubuntu laptop. I personally use my Debian Linux desktop for most of my work because I honestly can’t stomach Windows, and would rather not deal with OS X. what is left of our startup, is mostly a Mac shop.
Given the nature of my company, it’s needless to say they are mostly a Wintel shop and are still trying to figure out how to deal with all of their startup acquisitions, like myself. It’s like it’s 1997 again and I can say that because I was doing IT in 1997 and remember deploying Lotus Notes in the Marine Corps. I work for a massive and archaic company seriously, we have 90,000 employees and we’re still using Lotus Notes for email. The data center we are deploying in lives on VMWare and from the outside is locked down with the exception of a Checkpoint SSL VPN.
This usually consists of a mix of Hadoop, Elastic Search, Storm, and Kafka but all of that is actually irrelevant to the current topic.
We sell a managed-service, big-data platform. I’m currently in the middle of small-scale deployment for my company.
