Yes. The 7.3 for Ubuntu should work for you.

Go to the VPN signin page and download the CAfile (DER format) and certfile from there -> certificate information, export certificate. The realm will be shown on the same page [*1]I run a 32-bit system as I use nothing that has sufficient gains from 64-bit to overcome the slight speed disadvantage, so "it just works" for me, and I only have to connect to very recent Junos Pulse Appliances (now PulseSecure). > > Ross > > Kind regards -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
