You can logon to it now but you can’t do much, you need to upload the applications
svn co https://openvpn-als.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/openvpn-als/adito-applications/
cd adito-applications
We’ll do the exemple by adding the portable putty application
cd adito-application-putty-portable-ssh
ant
Buildfile: /opt/openvpn-als/adito-applications/adito-application-putty-portable-ssh/build.xml
dist:
[zip]Building zip: /opt/openvpn-als/adito-applications/adito-application-putty-portable-ssh/adito-application-putty-portable-ssh.zip
Now Go to the “Extension Manger” from the menu on the left, on the right you’ll see “Upload Extension”.
Select the Zip file “adito-application-putty-portable-ssh.zip” and you can configure it to connect to whatever Linux machine you want.
