Juniper Firewall and client VPN
Hello all,
I have just aquired a Juniper Firewall and would like to know how to create a VPN tunnel that will allow me to connect a roaming user back to our network.
Many thanks.

Well, it depends what Juniper box you use. The dynamic client only exists for Junos. If you use ScreenOS use the NCP client http://www.ncp-e.com. It works for both ScreenOS and Junos and excellent documentation and support is available.

Hi Qlemo,
Thanks for your help. I have been trying the Shrew solution today but can't get the tunnel to stay up. I have followed the Wiki and can't see anything I have missed. I have created a seperate IP pool as you suggest, but everytime I try and open the tunnel it times out and doesnt connect.
Hopefully you can provide some assistance.
Cheers.

Troubleshooting can be difficult here - and is one reason why Allvirtual suggested NCP (and their online support).
With Shrew you use Trace Utility for that purpose. Start it, go into the Options menu, set log level to at least informational, then restart IKE and IPSec service via the buttons provided, and try to connect.
When connection failed, press Open Log in IKE Service tab. You should see the reason for failure in Phase 1 (if failing, and if not at the very beginning of negotiation). If Phase 1 succeeds, do the same in IPSEC Service tab.

OK
I will probably give the NCP Client a whirl then. Is there a cheat sheet to follow for enabling the firewall to accept the Dialup VPN's from the client?

Am I better going for a route VPN or policy based. The solution I seek is to allow several users to utilise the VPN to connect them to our office servers and at the same time allow them to browse the web while out of the office.

I haven't had much luck getting this up and running. I will have to allocate a little more time I think but thank you to all who answered.

Thank you to all for your help.
Contact NCP Technical Support is my suggestion. They help you during the trial and get it setup and running!
The firewall uploads the VPN client to the remote PC on the first log in attempt and can be set up to manage updates as necessary.
