You can get all thers information from your network administrator.
• IP address and port of the Barracuda VPN server
• local password for your license
• server password
• several connection-dependent parameters explained below
•
For the VPN client installation the following requirements are essential:
1.2 Procedure
• recent linux-distribution
• required license (one of the following, depending on authentication type):
• Barracuda personal license
• x.509 certificate
• no license required for user/password authentication
1.) Get the appropriate installation package
If there is an older version of the Barracuda VPN Client installed, it must be removed manually using
rm /usr/local/bin/barracudavpn, since older versions were not package based, and thus the
installation of Barracuda VPN Client will fail.
• RPM package based Linux systems
For RPM package based Linux systems (Novell/SuSE or RedHat/Fedora), there are two
RPM packages: barracudavpn-20-SP2.i386.rpm contains the dynamically linked Barracuda
VPN client for Linux, barracudavpn-2.0-SP2_STATIC.i386.rpm the statically
linked one. Use the statically linked client, if some dependencies of the dynamically linked
one are not satisfied on the target system.
Install the package as root with the command
rpm -Uh barracudavpn-2.0-SP2.i386.rpm
