Missing VPN after upgrade

Novell Cool Solutions: Question & Answer

Posted: 2 Dec 2004

Q:
I upgraded to NBM 3.8, and I get no VPN. This is because it is not set up in iManager, i believe. I went through all the admin guide steps (I believe) on the VPN - when I go into iManager there is no NBM VPN Configuration in the left panel for me to click on. Icreated all the certificates, containers and objects needed ( I believe) andstill no luck.

A:
You must login to iManager, go to the Configure page, and under ModuleConfiguration choose Install Module Package. From the BorderManager CD youneed two files, bm.npm and vpn.npm (the iManager VPN plug-ins). Then go back to the configuration page and choose Install, then browse to the two files.

You should be able to point to the VPN.ZIP file in the BM38SP2A patch, from iManager, and have it install from there.
