Support for Barracuda NAC VPN Client 5.X.X

Do you have an idea how we could launch the VPN?

Regards

I created a quick and dirty Powershell Script for VPN connections with Barracuda NAC v5.1 integrated in RDM as Embedded Script.

Hope it will help you.

Hi,

Are there any news concerning an Barracuda NAC VPN Client 5.X.X addon?


The PowerShell Module offers commands for connecting, disconnecting, creating profiles and querying the connection status.


(see https://campus.barracuda.com/product/networkaccessclient/doc/75696491/nac-powershell-for-windows/ )

Simon's script works great to but of course an official addon would be more convenient.


Best Regards

Hello,

We will add it to our todo list, but we can't give you an estimate on when we will be able to work on it.

Also, the link you posted redirects to a 404, does it require having an account with barracuda?

Regarsd,

Hi,

thanks for the fast response.

I've corrected the url in the previous post (the closing bracket was also part of the clickable URL). A Barracuda account isn't needed.


Best Regards

Thank you :)

Regards,

Thanks for this information. It is very useful

thanks for the fast response.

Hi guys,

I just wanted to ask if there is an update regarding the Barracuda NAC VPN Client 5.X.X add-on?

Best regards

Hello,

Nothing for now, it's still on our todo list but we have no time frame for an official integration.

Regards,

Hi!


Nothing still? :)
The existing Barracuda NG Network VPN add-on is able to fetch the available profiles in the Barracuda VPN client, just the connection doesn't work because the rvpn.exe is lacking (which is a pity :)).

If not on the roadmap, anyone still has an old version of the VPN client with the rvpn.exe file?

Hello,

This ticket is still opened, but I can't provide a time on when we'll be able to work on this at the moment. We've noted your interest in improving our Barracuda integration in RDM.

Hi - any update on this? we also need rvpn.exe to be usable?
Thanks,

Hello,

Nothing yet, as we've had other priorities—at the moment, the powershell script provided at the beginning of the thread is still the workaround.

Regards,

I would also welcome the addition of support for Barracuda NAC VPN Client 5.X.X

Hello everyone,

is there anything to consider? for me the ps script does not work properly - I have the following stored at my RDP:


Properties - VPN / SSH / Gateway:

Type: User defined
Connect: Always connect
Close: After session end


Settings (Custom):

Host: Name of the Barracuda VPN profile
Executable file: here I put a .bat which executes the powershell script.

As soon as I can try to connect, the powershell opens and an error message comes up with $profileID is null?

Is this script outdated? I have seen that the parameters have changed
e.g. $HOST$ is now $VPN_HOST$ - I have already changed this, but it still does not work.


Is there already a "better" solution?

Even if the post is a bit older I hope for feedback

Thanks in advance

Hello,

After discussing that matter with our Engineering Department, they informed me that this script has been initially developed by another user who encountered this issue.
Unfortunately, we do not have access to a test environment that would also us to make changes to this script.

Have you received any errors when you tried to use it? Also, which version of RDM and what type of Data Source you are currently using?

Best regards,

I have now solved it differently - thanks anyway

Hello,
I have now looked into the Topic again and have come to the following conclusion:

The addon in RDM uses the old Barracuda start arguments like -c -n which are executed with the CMD.
In the newer versions this is solved using the Powershell module "BarracudaNetworkAccessClient"

See source: NAC PowerShell for Windows | Barracuda Campus

Would it be possible to include the PS Module in the next version of RDM?

Hello,

We will see if we can add this to a future roadmap, but at the moment, the workaround provided by Simon here is the way to integrate this within RDM.

Hello,

We have recently implemented an experimental integration for the Barracuda Network Access Client in our application. Unfortunately, we are unable to test it internally. This new feature will be available in our upcoming 2024.3 release this fall.

As this is an experimental implementation, we would greatly appreciate it if you could try it out and provide us with feedback. Your insights will help us improve the integration.

Thank you for your support!

Regards,

We are testing the experimental integration and have 2 issues detailed in post: https://forum.devolutions.net/topics/44027/barracuda-network-access-client-status--disconnect-issues#204168.

Has anyone had any success in closing the connection?
