Juniper Netconnect error on Mac Failed to gain root privileges


I am getting the below error on Juniper Netconnect VPN connection

A software error caused the tunneling service to terminate. See the Log Viewer for more information.

Just above this in the log i see

7 ncproxyd[p1575.t771] ncproxyd.error Failed to gain root privileges: Operation not permitted (ncproxyd.cpp:302)
2016-04-29 10:12:44.657 ncproxyd[p1575.t771] ncproxyd.info ncproxyd exiting status 1 (ncproxyd.cpp:103)

I think it is related to latest Java update. Do you have any idea what permissions might have gone wrong ?

Thanks in advance


Solution

  • I found that installation owner was not correct.

    /usr/local/juniper

    This should be owned by root

    I reinstalled the netconnect and that fixed all the owner ship

    To download the netconnect , you can get from <Your_RNA_URL>/dana-cached/nc/NetworkConnect.dmg
