New VPN Clients Tony Brett Oxford University Computing Services
Agenda • Where we are now • What’s changed • System Requirements • Things to watch out for • Demos of New Clients for Linux • WinXP • Win2k • Win98 • Fedora Core 2 (2.76 Kernel) • Future developments
Where we are now • Windows version “current” 3.61 • Latest 4.0.4 Rel • Linux version “current” 3.7 • Latest 4.0.4B • Mac version “current” 3.7 • 4.0.3E • Solaris version “current” 3.7 • 4.0.0 Rel
What’s changed • Licensing and export requirements have tightened • Delay in publishing on micros.oucs • Much better support for NAT • Virtual adapters for VPN • Unified GUI • Personal Firewall enhancements • Co-existence with other VPN vendors
Gotchas – Things to watch out for • Mac clients are OS-Specific. • Too new a client won’t work with too old an operating system and vice-versa • Particularly change from 10.0 to 10.1 to 10.2 • Support for Linux 2.6 Kernels only from version 4.0.4B. • Tighter Cisco licensing restrictions. • Updates are regular – watch the CISCO website.
Future Developments • Certificate-based authentication • See DCOCE project • Delivery of key services through Portal so VPN demand reduces
