The Linux full client is designed for use on a normal users device, however it requires administrator rights to install. It includes (optional) auto-start and remember-me functionality so it will automagically connect the user at boot time without any interaction required.
The Linux client has partial support for auto-update.
Installation and uninstallation
How to Install
Ubuntu
sudo apt install ./appgate-sdp_x.y.z_amd64.deb
Fedora
sudo dnf install ./appgate-sdp-x.y.z-fc38.x86_64.rpm
RHEL9
sudo dnf install epel-release
sudo dnf install ./appgate-sdp-x.y.z-el8.x86_64.rpm

sudo apt remove appgate
Fedora
sudo dnf remove appgate
RHEL9

Using the command line to start the client
Once installed, when AppGate ZTNA is run normally (when a user clicks it), then the client launches.
It is possible to pre-install the profile link at this time and remove all subsequent user interactions required. For example; to pre-install a client profile (so the users will be at the sign-in form) run: appgate --url appgate://controller.myco..com/profilename... --novalidate
The Linux full client consists of two components
AppGate Service - The main client executable that will run in the background and handle all connections.
AppGate Driver - The virtual network adapter.
Logs
Driver logs
The daemon logs can be viewed using journalctl -u appgatedriver.service
or view tun-service logs in /var/log/appgate/driver.log
Client logs
The regular client logs are in ~/.appgate/log/ or using journalctl -t appgate-sdp
log- includes the logs from the main service
ui- includes logs from the UI process
At the end of everyday a log-date and a ui-date record is archived for 30 days.
LogLevel
To increase the log level in the client, quit the client and then run: appgate --loglevel <value>
The <value> options are: Dump, Trace, Debug, Info, Warn, Error, Fatal
Info is the normal setting – moving to the right will reduce the amount of log records saved - moving to the left is not recommended unless instructed to do so by AppGate support.
To return to normal - quit the client and then restart normally.
