VPN Certificate for Oracle on Linux

First run

When you first try running Oracle API locally, you'll be required to be connected to the VPN (vpn2.gov.bc.ca). If you're a Linux user you'll need to grab the certificate manually and add to the system. To do so, follow these steps:

Grab the certificate

echo | openssl s_client -legacy_server_connect -showcerts -servername vpn.gov.bc.ca -connect vpn.gov.bc.ca:443 | openssl x509 > vpn.crt

Copy to system certificate

sudo cp vpn.crt /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/

Upadte system certificates

sudo update-ca-certificates

Now you should be good to go. Just open Cisco AnyConnect and type vpn2.gov.bc.ca to get started.

Second run

Once you did the above steps, should not be required for the next usages.
