VIA client for Mac - Mountain Lion support?

  • 1.  VIA client for Mac - Mountain Lion support?

    Posted Jun 25, 2012 01:16 PM

    As a delighted user of the Aruba VIA client for Mac OS X,  I wanted to ask if there is a version available or in development that supports Mountain Lion (Mac OS 10.8)?   My initial testing shows the VIA 1.0.0.2 client installs on  Mountain Lion Developer preview 4, but doesn't appear to work .. the connect button in the VIA control panel is greyed out. Mountain Lion is due out next month, and we'd dearly love to have a VIA client that will work with it.

     

    Many Thanks!

    Mountain Lion is GA and VIA version 1.0.0.2.32566 doesn't seem to be able to detect the network type and the "connect" button remains grayed out.

    Same here.  Anybody know when we'll see a release that works on Mountain Lion?

    Try this:

     

    1.       Install Mac VIA 1.X.

    2.       Open command shell.

    3.       Run “sudo /Application/System\ Preferences.app/Content/MacOS/System\ Preference”  

    4.       Download VIA configuration.

    5.       Start VPN connection using VIA UI connect button or Network connection menu.

    Sorry some syntactical errors in previous post...

     

    try this

     

    open command prompt,

     

    then

     

    cd /Applications

    cd System\ Preferences.app

    cd Contents/MacOS

    then

    sudo ./System\ Preferences

     

    Then Launch VIA from control panel that appears (since you're now SU, it will write profiles correctly).

     

    I'm on a MAC book air running 10.8.2 and now working correctly...

    Also on Macbook Air, 10.8.2 - it's working.

    However I get a lot of strange messages when taking the computer out of sleep and it's reconnecting to a wifi network - even when the VPN connection is OFF!

    See attached picture (below) of error message, and of log messages in Aruba VIA. These messages appear even though I am disconnected (I have not connected, either from the VIA prefpane or the Network one).

     

    While it works, these log/error messages are very irritating.

     

    [Edit: added version number of client] VIA Version 1.0.0.3.35402

    What version of VIA?  You probably need to open a TAC case so that they can get your logs....
