Comment on Ubuntu (Intrepid) and Aventail SSL VPN Client by Scott

Thanks,

openssl-0.9.8i worked for me.

But first I tried openssl-0.9.8k, which did not!

Thanks for the feedback!

Comment on CentOS 5 Upgrade and Yum by Bevin

This above did not work for me. The problem is in a yum plugin that installed on my yum update.

nano -w /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/fastestmirror.conf

I disabled this plugin and it all works with no problems. I hope this helps.

Thanks Bevin

I just had this problem on Mandriva 2009.1, it was working ok and one day I was going to connect to the vpn and couldn’t, having the same handshake error. It turned out to be a problem with the libopenssl-devel package. Uninstalled it and problem fixed.

Guys,

Just wanted to toss in a thank you. I was seeing this problem since upgrading to Kubuntu 9.04. Installing openssl 0.9.8i and the symlinks fixed it for me as well.

Thanks,

I recently came across an updated version of Aventail 9.03.015 at work that fixes this problem as well.

Comment on PyOhio 2009: Call for Proposals by Benjamin Smith

:) too bad I’m not real sure I can make PyOhio. It’s OK though, pretty sure having a baby counts as an excuse to miss it!

Comment on CentOS 5 Upgrade and Yum by Bubba

How did you upgrade to 5.2 from 4.7?

Comment on PyOhio 2009: Call for Proposals by Sarah Dutkiewicz

I see you posted this under “awesome”. Can I just say… that’s awesome! :)

Comment on byteflow/django+supervisord+nginx = WIN by Jacob Singh

Yes, this stuff is only in trunk.

important

Should probably note this in the article. I’m still not getting to work 100%, but it’s seeming closer :)

Thanks for this tute!

Are you sure the fcgi stuff is in 3.06a?

grep -ri fcgi /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/supervisor-3.0a6-py2.4.egg/supervisor/

nada…

Comment on byteflow/django+supervisord+nginx = WIN by Jacob Singh

I’ve tried this for a couple hours now… I can’t seem to figure out what my issue is:

; Production setup
[fcgi-program:gate]
socket=tcp://127.0.0.1:1212
command = /tmp/stupid.py

my supervisord conf looks pretty much like yours. I set supervisord to run with debug level logs. Here is my log:

2009-04-05 12:59:29,813 CRIT Set uid to user 99

2009-04-05 12:59:29,960 INFO RPC interface ‘supervisor’ initialized

2009-04-05 12:59:29,961 INFO RPC interface ‘supervisor’ initialized

2009-04-05 12:59:29,961 INFO supervisord started with pid 17278

I can access the web interface with :9001, but it doesn’t list any programs there. Needless to say, my fcgi server doesn’t start.

Any ideas? I have the latest version 3.06a and am running CentOS 5.2 (Python 2.4)

Thanks a lot! This will be a huge help, I’ve written my own and I really want to switch.

Best, Jacob

many thanks for that great help :-)

Comment on Ubuntu (Intrepid) and Aventail SSL VPN Client by Sam M.

@Benjamin: I figured out what I think you were talking about in terms of getting the latest version of the software. I tried putting the hostname of the sslvpn server in a browser and logging in and it took me to a console page where I can download software and some other interesting things. Pretty cool.

Comment on Ubuntu (Intrepid) and Aventail SSL VPN Client by Sam M.

@Benjamin: Can you explain how you were able to download the 10.x version of the client. Did it do this automatically when you logged in with the 8.9 client or did you do something else?

Comment on Ubuntu (Intrepid) and Aventail SSL VPN Client by Sam M.

I’m using the Aventail 8.90.290 client on a 64 bit install of CentOS5. Works fine there.

Also I got this to work under Fedora 10 with the same change everyone else had to do with the openssl recompile. Curiously I couldn’t use any of the newer versions of openssl (openssl-0.9.8i & openssl-0.9.8k) didn’t work. I had to go with 0.9.8.i.

Comment on Ubuntu (Intrepid) and Aventail SSL VPN Client by Benjamin Smith

I’m 32 bit as well. I’m not sure that they make a 64bit client for Linux.

On a side note, I just upgraded my aventail client today (Our internal IT guys upgraded the appliance last night). It was very simple. I log into the Realm “Tunnel Client Download For Any OS”. This gives you the option to install the new client, wants to you authenticate as root to install it from the browser, or allow you to download, in which case you can do this:

$ tar xvfm AventailConnect-Linux.tar.gz
$ sudo ./install.sh

I installed on 32bit ubuntu 8.10

As an aside I was able to run Aventail on Vista 64bit but…only by using a Beta version of Aventail that was provided by my IT department.

I’m not sure if there is a 64bit version of Aventail for Linux.

Comment on Ubuntu (Intrepid) and Aventail SSL VPN Client by BE

I’m using 32 bit OS.

Comment on Ubuntu (Intrepid) and Aventail SSL VPN Client by BE

Double post… sorry

Comment on Ubuntu (Intrepid) and Aventail SSL VPN Client by Britt

Could anyone mention whether they were using 32bit or 64bit OSs?

Comment on Ubuntu (Intrepid) and Aventail SSL VPN Client by BE

I recently installed Ubuntu 8.10 on a cheap Toshiba laptop and the only thing I couldn’t get to work properly was the Aventail VPN client. Thank you so much for taking the time to publish your experience. I wasn’t able to find anything else on the internet to help get it working. I wasn’t getting a SSL handshake failure, just failed to connect. After the upgrade of ssl .9.8, everything is now working. Thanks again for the help.

Benjamin (and everyone who has contributed on this), I came across this blog after struggling for several hours with the configuration for Aventail connect on Intrepid. I used devodl’s adjustments to the process and it worked flawlessly. Thanks to everyone who documented their experience here.

How do you make sure supervisord starts up automatically when you reboot your server?

Comment on byteflow/django+supervisord+nginx = WIN by Benjamin Smith

The fcgi stuff in 3.0a6 is undocumented as of yet. Take a look here for reference: http://www.mail-archive.com/supervisor-users@lists.supervisord.org/msg00023.html

At the office, I use the RPC interface to allow certain developers the ability to manage processes.

Also, the supervisorctl program uses the rpc interface for management of the processes.

Comment on byteflow/django+supervisord+nginx = WIN by Matt

The supervisord docs say you gotta have a section [program:foo], but you have [fcgi-program:foo].

Actually, I’ve only read the first few pages of docs, and I haven’t read them very closely. But still, what is going on with your fcgi-program deal?

Also, are you using the rpcinterface? If so, what for?

Comment on Django debug toolbar FTW. by jan berger

great hint. thanks for sharing!

Comment on byteflow/django+supervisord+nginx = WIN by Benjamin Smith

The biggest two selling points for me are the configuration interface and stability, with feature set in a close third.

I don’t think I’ve ever run across something so simple so configure and manage. Even people I work with who had never heard of it were pleasantly surprised by the configuration file and management tools I presented to them.

As far as stability is concerned, it’s not a concern :). Until recently (due to server patching in general) I had a set of servers managing some processes with supervisord for nearly 6 months without a restart.
