2.1 Installing the Novell BorderManager 3.9 VPN Client on Windows

To install Novell BorderManager 3.9 VPN client on your Windows workstation:

  1. Do one of the following:

    • At the root of the Novell BorderManager 3.9 CD, go to cl_inst\vpn\exes, and copy setupex.exe to the local drive where you want to install the VPN client, then click setupex.exe.

    • From the Novell BorderManager CD, go to cl_inst\vpn, and copy the Disk 1 directory to the local drive where you want to install the VPN client, then go to Disk 1 and run setupex.exe.

  2. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the VPN client on your workstation.

    The setup configures the parameters associated with a secure connection.

  3. During the process, the install prompts you to configure or install the following:

    • Dial-up VPN client

    • NMAS client

    WARNING:If you have installed the latest version of the Novell Client, do not select the NMAS™ install option during the install.

    It also installs the following two versions of NICI on your system:

    • NICI 1.7.0 (128-bit)

    • NICI 2.6.0 (128-bit)

  4. After the VPN client is installed, it prompts you to re-start your workstation. During the re-start, if your workstation has the Novell Client, the VPN client registers with NetWare® client.

    If your workstation does not have NetWare, the VPN client resides on the desktop.

    If the operating system on your system is Windows XP, go to My Computer > Hardware > Driver Signing. If the option is Block, change the option to Warm.

    To enable NMAS and Token Password, the workstation should have NMAS EE 2.2.4 or later.
