F5 SSL VPN on unsupported Linux distribution (Arch Linux, Manjaro, maybe others)
Tested on Arch and Manjaro + Firefox/Chrome as a browser. Please test this on your own risk.
1) After logging in to your F5 SSL VPN via web browser, you should be presented with a screen like this:
2) Download the .deb package
3) Extract the content of the package with your favorite tool. With KDE Ark it looks like this:
4) Extract the data.tar.gz and copy it to the proper location. In case of Arch/Manjaro it's just copying the content to the / (root of your Linux filesystem):
tar -zxvf linux_f5vpn.x86_64/data.tar.gz
(root access needed)
cp -vr opt/ /
Extract control.tar.gz:
tar -zxvf linux_f5vpn.x86_64/control.tar.gz
Run the postinst script, requires root
sh postinst
And you are all set! Now the plugin works just fine. Uninstalling should be done just by deleting files in /opt/f5/ and uninstalling the icons (if you are pedantic).
Please let me know if you have better instructions for this or I made a mistake somewhere. Thanks.
