B.22 Linux Browser Issues in Kiosk Mode

In Linux, you cannot access protected HTTP traffic on the Firefox browser during the first SSL VPN connection, but subsequent connections work without problems.

To work around this problem, you can use another browser to access the protected resource as follows:

  1. Establish an SSL VPN connection in the Kiosk mode.

  2. Create a shortcut or launcher for Firefox on the desktop.

  3. Click SSLize Desktop Applications.

  4. Log out of the SSL VPN.

  5. Launch Firefox by using the SSL VPN-enabled shortcut.

    The Firefox browser launches even though there is no SSL VPN connection.

  6. Establish an SSL VPN connection in the Kiosk mode.

    New tabs and new instances of the Firefox browser now tunnel HTTP traffic.
