It is recommended to install the VMware Tools before running the AMP setup. After deploying the AMP ova file and starting the VM, you can interrupt the installation process via CTRL+C. This gives you access to the AMP shell. Use the following steps to install VMware Tools on a HPE Aruba AirWave Management Platform appliance:
The installation will take a few minutes. After the installation is finished you can restart the VM via the command init 6 or reboot.
Check the VMware Tools installation after the reboot by interrupting the AMP installation again and type the command vmware-toolbox-cmd -v. This will give you information about the installed version of VMware Tools.
You can now start the AMP installation again via the command /root/amp-install.
A few days ago I installed and configured the SSL VPN solution OpenVPN ALS, which is a direct descendant of Adito, which has a fork of SSL-Explorer. OpenVPN ALS is a simple to use SSL VPN solution to publish multiple services via browser-based portal. OpenVPN uses Java to publish multiple services. OpenVPN ALS isn’t an enterprise SSL VPN solution, but nevertheless useful for SMB environments with no special needs.
I made some nodes for the installation of OpenVPN ALS, which helps you installing the SSL VPN solution. The notes can be found below. I used the following hardware to install OpenVPN ALS.
Follow these steps to install OpenVPN ALS.
– Install Ubuntu Server 10.10
– Update / upgrade Ubuntu packages
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
– Install tasksel, the Debian/Ubuntu tool that installs multiple related packages as a co-ordinated “task” onto the system
sudo apt-get intall tasksel
– Install the LAMP server and OpenSSH server using tasksel
sudo tasksel
– Install Java JDK and the dependencies including Java JRE
sudo apt-get install default-jdk
– Install ant, the Java-based build application comparable to make
sudo apt-get install ant
– Download the adito.tar.gz and copy it to the directory /opt
– Extract the tar.gz file
sudo tar zxvf adito-0.9.1.tar.gz
– Start the installation
cd adito-0.9.1
sudo ant install
Buildfile: /opt/adito-0.9.1/build.xml

sudo ant install-service
– Start the Adito service
sudo ant start
– Configure the SSL VPN applications, by opening a web browser and login with the configured super user
