Installation

 

i1. download http://rapidshare.com/files/298983316/f5vpn-login-10.6.zip

 

i2. open a terminal window

 

i3. enter "cd $HOME/Downloads"

 

i4. enter "unzip -a f5vpn-login-10.6.zip"

 

i5. enter "cd f5vpn-login/bin"

 

i6. enter "sudo ./install.sh"

 

i7. enter "exit" to close the terminal window.

 

 

First time usage

 

f1. open a terminal window

 

f2. enter "f5vpn-login john@myhost.com", replace john with your username and myhost.com with your F5 host address

 

f3. answer the password question with password followed by your token PIN, e.g. "mypass123456"

 

 

Cancel established VPN connection

 

c1. switch to terminal window.

 

c2. press ctrl-c

 

c3. enter "exit" to close the terminal window

 

 

Next usages

 

n1. open a terminal window

 

n2. enter "f5vpn-login" - if you do not provide a username and host the last ones will be used

 

n3. answer the password question as explained in f3. However, you'll be asked for the password only if your old session could not be reused.

 

 

Questions & Answers (FAQ)

 

q1. Are special non-alphanumeric characters in the password supported (e.g. percent sign)?

 

a1. No

 

 

q2. Installation worked, but "fvpn-login" says "command not found"

 

a2. if the files /usr/sbin/f5vpn-login.py and /usr/bin/f5vpn-login are ending with question mark (?) than you probably have not unzipped the file using the "-a" parameter (see Step i4).
