Problem with SSL VPN - Network Connect 7.2.8 (23551) from Juniper with OSX Mavericks and JAVA - not extracting!!

I am experiencing the same problem with Juniper VPN:

[Network Connect] An error occurred while extracting one of the Network Connect components

However, I only did the recent Safari update (released the same time as Mavericks)

OSX 10.8.5

Safari Version 6.1 (8537.71)

This has also been reported in Juniper's forums. http://forums.juniper.net/t5/SSL-VPN/Network-Connect-Issue-with-OS-X-Mavericks-S afari-7-0-and-Java-7/m-p/213427

I was able to get the client to install if I used firefox 24, but it didn't matter. After about 5 minutes the VPN connection dropped and I couldn't get internet access again untill I restarted wifi.

Same here.

I am facing the same issue..

I'm not sure how good this for a long term solution, but disabling unicast ARP as is recomended in this cirtrix post fixed the stability issue for me. Also, as I mentioned before, I have to use Firefox to get the Juniper client to install at all. I've tested this on 2 Macbooks and 1 Macpro so far and they've all worked.

If you did an upgrade one option is to run the Network Connect application from Finder (or Spotlight) instead of from Safari. Network Connect will prompt to update the software to a compatible version, and once the update finishes you will be able to run the Network Connect application again and connect to the VPN server.

Even after the update connecting from Safari doesn’t work, but running Network Connect does.

A minor inconvenience, but it has been stable for me.

I'm experiencing similar problems, but none of the stated work-arounds have worked for me. I have not been unable to connect remotely since the day I loaded Mavericks and got Safari 7.

I'm being told to wait for a new release of Network Connect or an upgrade to Mavericks.

Same issue here, and none of the workarounds work.

I didn't even conscioussly upgrade anything.. it's entirely possible safari upgraded itself 😟

when i launch network connect manually, it just hangs on "Loading Components, please wait this may take several minutes. Host Checker"

versions:

osx: 10.7.5

safari:

6.1.2

although i did see "your computers security is unsatisfactory" error at some point, so exploring that now

actually launching network connect manually does solve the problem. so it's a pretty good alternative i guess until i have to install a newer version

mo3am - your solution worked for me, thanks!
