I’ve had issues getting Juniper’s Network Connect app to work on Snow Leopard. First up, it simply wouldn’t install at all, which was a bit of a problem.
Turns out you can download the dmg from the firewall through the url /dana-cached/nc/NetworkConnect.dmg – eg, if you’re connecting to example.com then the url will be https://example.com/dana-cached/nc/NetworkConnect.dmg (No, I’m not making that URL a hyperlink!)
Then, once it’s downloaded and installed you need to update the permissions on one directory and create another:
sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/juniper/nc/[version number]/
sudo mkdir ‘/Applications/Network Connect.app/Contents/Frameworks’
This worked for me using version 6.4.0 on Mac OS X 10.6.2
Thanks for the link to the DMG. I actually didn’t need the other steps. Uusing 6.5.0 on OSX 10.6.3
Thank you, that did the trick on 6.3.0 and OS X 10.6.4!
It worked for me on OSX 10.8.5. I didn’t try to VPN between the steps, I just did all of them and it worked.
Actually I had a little problem with the mkdir – for some reason the quotes weren’t working on the space in the directory name. So I wound up with these steps:
sudo -s
chmod 755 /usr/local/juniper/nc/7(tab)
cd /Applications/Net(tab)C(tab)
mkdir Contents/Frameworks
exit
Which of course is the same thing, just on multiple lines, and certainly helps you to get past the space-in-the-directory-name issue.
Thanks for the pointers!
Thanks for the update Mickey!
