Install on a Debian based OS:

(such as Ubuntu)

1. sudo apt upgrade

2. wget https://www.uwyo.edu/infotech/services/software/pulsesecure/ps-pulse-linux-22.2r1.0-b1295-64bit-installer.deb

3. sudo dpkg -i ps-pulse-linux-22.2r1.0-b1295-64bit-installer.deb

4. sudo apt update

Configuration:

Use the search function for your Linux OS (it varies from OS to OS) to look for “Pulse”. Click on the PulseUI (or similar)

Open

The client should have a “Wyosecure” connection pre-configured (as above). If it does not, or if you need to re-configure the connection:

1. Click the “+”

2. In the Name field, enter “Wyosecure”

3. In the URL field, enter “https://wyosecure.uwyo.edu”

4. Click Save

Connect:

1. To make a connection, click Connect

2. Enter your UWyo username and password

3. A new screen will come up asking for a Secondary Password. Type “push” and click Connect. This will induce a DuoMobile challenge on your mobile device

4. After you accept the challenge, the line beneath Wyosecure should say “Connected”

Uninstall:

Debian:

1. sudo dpkg -r pulsesecure

2. sudo dpkg -P pulsesecure

3. Reboot

RHEL:

1. sudo rpm -e pulsesecure
