IMPORTANT
Downgrades to a lower version are not supported. If you wish to go back to an earlier version, you must first uninstall the current version, then install the new version.
Updating in Ubuntu and Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)
-
Ensure that the Stormshield SSL VPN client is no longer running.
-
Install the Stormshield SSL VPN client update:
-
In Ubuntu:
sudo apt install ./<filename>
-
In Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL):
sudo dnf install ./<filename>
In the commands above, replace <filename> with the name of the package that was downloaded earlier. Do note that with the apt and dnf tools, you need to provide the file path of the package to be installed (./ indicates that the package is available in the current folder).
-
As of version 5.1.3 of the Stormshield SSL VPN client, and if you have the openvpn package in version 2.7 (see Requirements), the scripts sslvpn_connect.sh and sslvpn_disconnect.sh are no longer needed in order to manage the DNS servers provided by the SNS firewall. To delete them, go to the following location:
/opt/stormshield/sslvpnclient/modules/ssl-vpn/etc/
Update possible without uninstalling version 5. The program that installs the update to version 5 will replace the current version.
