Sync time

* NOTE * Adito has been renamed and changed to OpenVPN-ALS. Please check out my new tutorial – How to install OpenVPN-ALS on Ubuntu Linux.

You are going to need to make sure time is synced with your Active Directory Controller. To sync the time from the ubuntu command line you must type:

ntpdate server.ip.address

Make sure that you have a static IP address.

sudo pico /etc/network/interfaces

Your interfaces file should look like this when you are done.

# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# This is a list of hotpluggable network interfaces.
# They will be activated automatically by the hotplug subsystem.
mapping hotplug
        script grep
        map eth0

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
        address 192.168.0.100
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        network 192.168.0.0
        broadcast 192.168.0.255
        gateway 192.168.0.1

Add Active Directory Server to Hosts file

sudo pico /etc/hosts

Add this to your hosts file:

dc.domain.local ip.address.of.dc

It’s setup time.

*NOTE* Adito has been rename to OpenVPN-ALS. You can also check out my guide – How to install OpenVPN-ALS on Ubuntu Linux.

This article assumes you’ve already setup and install Adito. If you haven’t you might want to learn How to install Adito on Ubuntu Linux.

All items I will be talking about will be able to find in the “Management Console”. This is the Blue task bar on the left hand side of the web interface. I will also be assuming you will have logged in as super user.

How to install and use a web Remote Desktop

1.) Go to the “Management Console” and click on “Extension Manager”.

2.) In the “Extention Store” click on “Remote Access”

3.) Click the icon on the far right hand side for “ProperJavaRDP”. This will make Adito download/install the software.

I am going to be going over a lot of info I’ve already talked about in a previous post called : How to build an SSL VPN appliance using Ubuntu.

In this post I am going to be covering installing ubuntu server 8.10 on a Microsoft Hyper-V Box. Since virtualization is such a hot topic right now I figured I’d kill two birds with one stone.

another Nice benifit of having a virtual machine with Adito installed on it… You could just bring the VHD to another company and you’d have a pre-setup SSL VPN setup out of the box. You’d only have to change a few setting! 🙂
