Installation Cisco VPN under Linux
- Install the Cisco Secure Client by accessing the website https://vpngw.uni-wuerzburg.de with Mozilla Firefox.
- Log in with your JMU account.
- The installer is available for download in .deb and .rpm software package format.
- Click on the "Instructions" button to find the installation instructions for the Cisco Secure Client.
- After the installation, you can find the "Cisco Secure Client" via the dashboard.
please check if there are tools available for your distribution to convert .deb or .rpm packages to another software package format that is supported by your Linux distribution.
If a Cisco Secure Client cannot be used on a Linux system, OpenConnect can also be used (not supported by the data centre). Important:
OpenConnect must be started from a graphical user interface so that the Entra window can be displayed. The User Agent field in the configuration must contain the literal AnyConnect - OpenConnect. The VPN gateway rejects the client if it is written otherwise. OpenConnect must be configured / started via the GUI. The "User Agent" field is only included in new versions of the NetworkManager/OpenConnect configuration dialogues (e.g. Ubuntu 24.04)
The libpangox/libpangoxft libraries are probably missing from the system. These are no longer installed by default with OpenSuSE or Kubuntu, for example.
Solution: Install the libraries.
You can test whether this problem exists by starting the AnyConnect GUI from the command line:
# /opt/cisco/secureclient/bin/vpnui
