Juniper Network Connect fails in Mac OS 10.10

Hello,
I am trying to use Juniper Network Connect on my MacBook Pro running OS 10.10 and Java 8 (Update 25) to connect to my corporate network.
However, each time I log into my corporate network through Mozilla Firefox and attempt to establish a remote desktop connection the following message appears as Network Connect attempts to load, "An error occurred while extracting one of the Network Connect components."
Mozilla Firefox is recommended by my company.
Has anybody else experienced this issue?
I have encountered Network Connect problems over the years (and similar error messages) and I am wondering if this message is related to OS and/or Java upgrades?
Regards,
Ben

Text of site:
The current version 8.0.7 of Network Connect and the latest Yosemite 10.10.1 don't like each other: you simply can't connect.
A workaround (and it should be nothing more if you care) is to allow unsigned kernel extensions (which are unsupported/disabled in Yosemite by default):
sudo nvram boot-args="kext-dev-mode=1"
(reboot afterward) To revert this:
sudo nvram -d boot-args
Looks like this is also helpful for some other problematic extensions.

Mac OSX 10.7.5 + Java 7.11 Juniper Network Connect fails

I am running Mac OSX 10.7.5 and just upgraded to Java 7.11. As a result, my Juniper Network Connect vpn now fails - I can't even install the software. I see the following error message "An error occurred while extracting one of the Network Connect components." I made sure the keystore password was set to changeit using the following:
sudo keytool -storepasswd -new changeit -keystore /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Resources/Deploy.bundle/Contents/Home/lib/security/cacerts -storepass changeme
However, I continue to see "An error occurred while extracting one of the Network Connect components."
Any ideas?

Just a guess, but that looks to be the location for Apple Java 6, which is not replaced when you upgraded to Java 7, rather Oracle stores it in a different location.
It's also possible that Juniper has not updated their software for Java 7. I know that's true for at least one other VPN vendor.

Juniper Network Connect Error nc.mac.app.1203

I have been trying to solve this problem for a while. Once Java got decoupled from OSX I started getting this error when Network Connect would launch. I have run out of options.
nc.mac.app.1203

Love to hear everyone's thinking on this one. I have tried on and off for awhile to fix.

There is a thread about this in the Apple Developer's forum. Basically it looks like Apple changed the default password for the java truststore. I'm guessing it was accidental since the two passwords are very similar and they didn't notify even the Java developers of the change nor is it documented in the updates release notes. This affects:
Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 1 - Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 1
Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 6 - Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 6
Personally, to err is human and I can accept that. The problem I have is that Apple is taking so long to fix this. The problem came almost 2 months ago and I noticed on the developer thread that one of Apple's Java developers instead of just admitting the problem instead went on some rant on how the Sun (now Oracle) Java development team needs to change how apps are installed. Whatever.
The reality is this: Until the Oracle Java development team is convinced to change the way Java works and actual does it and Java developers have a chance to change their code this is the reality of the world. Suck it up and fix your broken stuff. Apple could have very easily released a new update that fixed this but instead it looks like their waiting for their next major update and in the meantime everyone else has to work around their mistakes. To be honest, I don't expect anything else from Apple; this is just how they operate.
BTW, According to a Juniper KB, Juniper will be releasing an update to the SA boxes that takes this into account.

Remote Speaker (AirTunes) Error - "the network connection failed"

I am getting a strange error message when I try to stream music through an AirTunes remote speaker. iTunes tells me this:
*An error occurred while connecting to the remote speaker "NN". The network connection failed.*
I can't say what has changed for this error to occur. Last time I used the system it worked fine, now it doesn't. I do know I have upgraded iTunes a couple of times since, though.
I am connecting to an 802.11g AirPort Express running firmware version 6.3.
Both our computers (MacBook & MacBook Pro) run Mac OS version 10.5.8.
In my system, the AirPort Express functions solely as a wireless speaker client, as the WLAN network itself is based around an 802.11n AirPort Extreme.
The AP shows a green light, and reports no problems in AP Utility.
When I change the device's "iTunes Speaker Password" setting in AP Utility, iTunes in both our computers immediately reflect the change, so apparently the various parts in the system do speak to one another just fine. They just can't transmit music, for some reason...
Anyone have any idea what might be going on, here?

I have a similar problem. I use AE(g) with a Powerbook G4 and always get this error, which kind of bugs me, since all the settings appear to be correct. Unlike you though, I didn't make it work, not a single time — closing lid, opening and closing iTunes, resetting AE, yet no luck. Tried it all only with current versions of software.
However, the AE does sense when I unplug the speakers, since it first says "no speakers found", and then "the network connection failed". Strange is that the error has no number, nor does Console provide any clues. Sometimes it is pretty annoying when OS X just says "error". What error, where, why... Feels like good ol' windows times.

An error occurred while connecting to the remote speaker. The network connection failed.

I can't get my itunes to connect to the remote speakers via airport express anymore - I did not change any settings - but did update iTunes to 10.2.2 and now things are not working and I get his message - "An error occurred while connecting to the remote speaker “Living Room”. The network connection failed."
Does anybody have a fix for this problem?
thanks

Same problem for me. Ever since I upgraded to 10.6.3 and iTunes 9.1, about once per week I'll get the error message when trying to get iTunes/Airtunes to connect to my older Airport Express (running firmware 6.3) "An error occurred while connecting to the remote speaker <insert speaker name here>. The network connection failed." (No error codes are given.)
Airport Utility sees the offending Airport Express just fine (and there's a green light on said AE).
Curiously, a newer AE-n, elsewhere in the house (running firmware 7.4.2) does NOT exhibit this problem.
Simply restarting the offending AE does NOT clear the problem. Restarting the main router - a Time Capsule DOES clear the problem. Alternatively, toggling off the Airtunes functionality on the offending AE, restarting it, then toggling Airtunes back on, and finally restarting it DOES clear the problem (as an alternate to restarting the router). No matter how the problem is cleared, it returns within a week. It's frustrating that the problem cannot be recreated immediately.
Probably not relevant, but the computer on which I'm running iTunes (a Mac Mini) is connected to my TC via ethernet, not wirelessly.
I've tried the suggestion of disabling ipv6. No effect.
I fear the only solution will be to scrap my older Airport Express and replace it with a newer n-model. But before I resign myself to the $100 fix, any more ideas?

Airplay Connection issues - An error occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device "x". The network connection failed.

I recently upgraded to a new MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion, and got my Airport Express (802.11g) out of the closet and set up an AirPlay network for my speakers.
All worked well for the first while, but recently I've been having an inconsistent problem with this: "An error occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device “my network name”. The network connection failed."
Since it came up, more often than not, I can't connect.
I can play without issue from my iPhone, and from my iPad.
I looked around these forums, and found a couple threads dealing with this from 2011, with no clear resolution to them. No one with Mountain Lion seems to complain about it, though a few people mused about whether Mountain Lion might fix the problem.
I'm running iTunes 10.7(21), and don't recall doing any upgrades to it that might have brought this about, though I can't say for sure.
My Airport Express is updated to firmware version 6.3, which I believe is the last one issued for the 'g' Airport Express.
My wireless network runs off an Airport Extreme 802.11n (Second Generation) with verion 7.6.1 firmware.
My Mac has 10.8.2 on it right now.
Hopefully some of that info might help sort this out - any replies greatly appreciated!

One quick update. A workaround that was mentioned in one post did seem to work - if music is started via the Remote app it seems to connect fine.
And I'm not sure if I dare upgrade to iTunes 11 given the firestorm of bad impressions I see, including some that relate to Airplay functions...

Snow Leopard and Juniper Network Connect/How to temporarily disable Bonjour

Hi All,
I have encountered a problem with Juniper Network Connect running on my MacBook Air. I can connect successfully to my company's VPN but on my MacBook Air Junipers Network Connect started to dis- and reconnect in changing time intervals.
After some googling I am pretty sure that it has something to do with the Bonjour service changing the routing tables. I wanted to confirm this and activated "Back to my mac" on my MacBook Pro which up to now did not had any problems connecting to my company's VPN. Now it has the same issues.
My question is whether there is any way to temporarily disable Bonjour, ideally via Apple script. Up to now the only solutions I found were to either
- disable mDNSResponder which would also prevent accessing any websites or
- disable multicast advertisements (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3789?viewlocale=en_US)
The latter approach includes editing a properties file and restarting the mac, thus would be less than ideal for just quickly dis- and enabling bonjour. Furthermore I am not quite sure whether this really solves the problem of updating the routing table.
Any advise is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
equinox

If you are using an Airport or Airport Express base station: go to Utilities>Airport Utility. When it's found the Airport, click on 'Manual Setup'. In the next pane, click on the 'Wireless' tab; when that pane opens click on 'Wireless Network Options...'. Check 'Create a closed network'.
If you are using another manufacturer's wireless router you will need to look at their instructions, but the principle is the same - it may say something like 'Hide SSD'.

Installed latest version of iTunes, now I cannot play music through my Airport express. I'm seeing the message "An error occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device "living room". The network connection failed.

Extreme slowness with Juniper Network Connect

Hi there,
I recently switched from cable modem to fios and I am very frustuated with fios as the company vpn speed slows down gradually (while I never had any issue with cable modem) to 0.5 mbps from 50 mbps in a few hours. I often try restarting modem and reconnecting which helps sometimes. My company IT reported no problem and my colleagues on cable also report no problems with vpn. My desktop is directly connected to the cable modem via wire (not wireless).
I would appreciate any suggestions.
Thank you,

While this is not a Windows 10 specific issue (it happens in Windows 8.x, too), I wanted to discuss it here to see there was a solution.
When using either of my corporation's two VPN options, Juniper Network Connect and Juno Pulse, I cannot use any Modern apps that have network access. BUT, this does not seem to effect Microsoft's Modern apps, like Mail or the Store.
As an example, Nextgen Reader, cannot synch with Feedly when I am connected to the VPN, but it works fine otherwise.
Yet, I can synch my OneNote notebooks or I can visit the Windows Store, so it doesn't seem to be strictly a problem with the VPN software.
Does anyone know of a work-around for this? Is this something that can be better addressed in Windows 10 so this is no longer an issue?
Do you you the VPN in Windows settings or install a client. My organizations info-structure won't allow to connect using the VPN built into Windows 8/10. In Windows 8 i installed the client and enter my companies connect information and it works. But the
same thing doesn't work in Windows Technical Preview.

Adobe version checker : Network connection failed

Hello all,
I recently wanted to try the new "Adobe Mobile Packager" to publish a FL application.
I succeeded in making the .sis file, with an empty certificate. When installing the .sis application, all went fine.
But when I wanted to launch it, it asked me to install the "new" other "Adobe Version Checker" application... but when it tried to connect, i have a great "network connection failed" prompting to me. and the application could not be launched.
Any idea to solve this ?
Thanks.

Hello,
Thanks for the feedback.
The device is a Nokia N95 8Go. The network I want to connect to is SFR
(French Network).
I didn't try with another network like Orange or Bouygues, I can try
this and report you the result.

Hi,
Seems a software compatibility issue with Windows 8. I suggest you contact Juniper support for help since this involves 3rd party application.

After Safari 7.06 update, whenever I connect to RSA Juniper Network Connect, my internet connection get disconnected. It was an issue with old Safari versions. It was fixed around 6 months back with one of Safari update. But, now it is broken again.

Network connection failed

It says network connection failed. Please check network connection & try again. I am connected to the network, but it won't let me use messaging or FaceTime

Hi Friend,
First, Where are you located and what country did you buy your phone? Some countries have restricted facetime, ie middle east, UAE.
Try to reset your network settings, double check the Restrictions settings, check the Safari settings...
If not, you have some problem with iinternet connection. Look at airplane mode is off, if your iPad recognizes WiFi connection or not, check the Restrictions settings, if other device also faces the same problem with internet connection
Check if you signed in Facetime with your Apple ID and password (Settings>>Facetime).
Check if you have signed iCloud in.
Check that FaceTime is not disabled in general/restrictions. If that isn't the problem try changing dns servers on your iPad.
Go to Contacts app and select the person you want call then tap Facetime.
Change your address for your currently location. If not works, change it for your native country or for United States (yes, some users have posted in foruns that after change the location to U.S. Everything works at a glance).
If not works, check if the person who you are trying to Facetime has signed in his/her Facetime too.
Most of times the Facetime calls work calling from your friend's email address instead of mobile number. So try to call your friend both ways (his/her mobile number and his/her email address).
If still not working:
1. Go to the Settings App.
2. Tap on Wi-Fi
3. Your chosen network will be ticked. Tap on its white arrow over a blue circle button to its right
4. Tap on DNS
5. Replace the current information with 8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4
6. Try visiting a website with Safari to see if this works
7. Try registering iMessage / FaceTime
If still not working, go to Settings -> General -> Date & Time -> Set Automatically: ON (Yes date time setting has been known to cause issue).
Hope it will be helpful

Hi,
Tap Settings / General / Reset / Reset Network Settings.
Restart the iPad.
More help here for Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
Also my home button has been very sketchy lately. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt.
Probably a good idea to get that repaired. If you just purchased this iPad you have 14 days from purchase for an exchange or refund.
