citrix does not have one vpn,citrix has many vpn's all quite different from one to another. There are a whole lot of "ssl vpn"'s that are windows only. I have to use windows to vpn into linux boxes because of this. On Thu, 2009-09-17 at 19:58 +1000, Sridhar Dhanapalan wrote: > It depends on the

It depends on the type of VPN. OpenVPN, PPTP and Cisco VPNs are quite trivial to connect to, and IPSec should work too. There are some weird ones though. Citrix has a VPN device that requires a Windows client to connect to, despite the device being based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. 2009/9/16 Ti

Just a quick update I replied to the IT staff that gave me the ip address the method I used to get it working and he said he would put it in their (I imagine internal) wiki. So hopefully they will be more helpful in the future. Regards Barry -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com ht

Hi Barry, Yeah i'm a student and there is pretty much NO SUPPORT for Linux users at all. If you want to install apps through a proxy and it is NTLM encrypted then I would suggest using CNTLM which is fantastic for NTLM authentication with the proxy. Regards, Stewart > > -- > LinuxSA WWW: http:/
