Arch Linux User Repository

If you want to use old pulse-secure client 9.1r9, please download the following package.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_8tRA-T9vV08n_TpHqdcG5IvalxBuZ7_/view?usp=sharing

The rewritten pulse-secure client requires a service called 'pulsesecure'. Please enable and start the service before running the client.

Hi!

I am in the process of migrating from Ubuntu to Arch, I have installed the latest version and I have the same sharing as @AshEnke.

The binary is reporting these messages.

DBUS api call failed with code: 2 - message:GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name net.psecure.pulse was not provided by any .service files 

Do you know if downgrading version works?

This VPN client is my only requirement to be able to work. Without it I will not be able to migrate to Arch. Any help?

Edit: I have managed to get the client working with version: 9.1r11.0_b6725

Regards,

There is a weird bug with Pulse Secure: current installation seems not trust the system CA store.

In fact, the client try to load the CA store at path /etc/pki/ca-trust/extracted/openssl/ca-bundle.trust.crt but, on Arch, the file is located at /etc/ca-certificates/extracted/ca-bundle.trust.crt.

It could be interesting to add, in the installation process, the creation of a link from existing file to required file...

Or, at least, a message at the end of the installation to indicate that the user need to create the link to allow the certificate validation.

@chiwanpark I'm afraid the new UI should be only on the Windows client. I don't see that there are changes at the moment in the linux client

@thecrow I've packaged and installed 22.2.R1 build 1295, but UI seems not be changed (see https://imgur.com/a/GcjmbLl). Could you find the package (in RPM format) with new UI?

It hangs on

dsOpenSSL Start - dsENGINE_register_ECDSA
dsOpenSSL End - dsENGINE_register_ECDSA

Press Ctrl+c to Stop VPN Connection....

Status: Connect requested

Any ideas how to debug this?

Pulse Secure Client is re-branded as Ivanti Secure Access Client. The release numbering is updated to 22.RX. Complete UX rebranding and the UI upgrade is implemented. There is also an option to switch between the Classic UI and New-UI to maintain user experience. The Pulse Secure client icon is replaced by Ivanti Secure Access Client icon

For saved connections in pulseUI to not disappear when the pulsesecure service restarts, mkdir -p /var/lib/pulsesecure/pulse seems to work.

I have a problem on the latest (9.1r15.0_b15819-2) and older versions : I start the pulsesecure service, and try to run the /opt/pulsesecure/bin/pulseUI command, and it's stuck at

dsOpenSSL Start - dsENGINE_register_ECDSA
dsOpenSSL End - dsENGINE_register_ECDSA

and it hangs there. If I try to press Ctrl + C to cancel it, the UI launches, but it looks like it doesn't detect the running service (lots of DBUS api call failed with code: 2 - message:GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name net.psecure.pulse was not provided by any .service files error messages, and I can't connect.

What's weird is that if I stop the service and try to run the pulseUI program, it goes straight to the "missing service" error :

dsOpenSSL Start - dsENGINE_register_ECDSA
dsOpenSSL End - dsENGINE_register_ECDSA
DBUS api call failed with code: 2 - message:GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name net.psecure.pulse was not provided by any .service files 
DBUS api call failed with code: 2 - message:GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name net.psecure.pulse was not provided by any .service files 

journalctl -u pulsesecure.service -f doesn't show anything wrong, and the pulselauncher command behaves the same...

Any idea ?

It doesn't save my connections. Every time I restart it I have to create my connections again. Is there anything that I am missing?

Thanks, it works now.
