VPN Client Support

The info page for the new Samsung RT tablet - the ATIV tab - says:

Enterprise Solutions (upon request): Exchange ActiveSync, On-Device Encryption, Cisco VPN (Virtual Private Network), Juniper Junos Pulse VPN, EAS

But the Junos Pulse client is not in the Windows Store - so either Samsung has some exclusive deal with Juniper, or this is a "coming soon" feature.

I'd like an answer. As much as I love the Surface hardware, if I cannot get the last piece of the puzzle I need for work, the Pulse client, and it is available on another vendor's tablet, I'll need to think about switching.

I would really like an answer from Microsoft on this one.

And to re-confirm - the ATIV is a Windows 8 RT tablet, NOT a Windows 8 Pro tablet.

    A lot of people trying to hack the thing to work unsuccessfully from my research.

    http://forums.wpcentral.com/microsoft-surface-windows-rt/233841-8-1-cisco-anyconnect-vpn.html

    Cisco has an open issue with MS to offer API access to RT and MS has never responded.

    It is tragic, and stunningly ridiculous for the company to do this to this device.

    It was nearly the perfect device until they neutered it.

    I'm having a similar issue with my 32GB Surface tablet, running Windows 8.1 with the latest (as of this post) Windows Updates.

    When attempting to connect to my corporate SSL VPN using the Microsoft provided Junos VPN client, I received an error message immediately after my credentials have been successfully verified or after selecting a previous session.  The message is simply "invalid parameter".

    Reviewing the VPN Client Event Log (as described in the troubleshooting section of the Junos client setup document), I noticed the following 3 events:

    <VPN Connection Name> SaveResumpionData: -1671969169

    <VPN Connection Name> Invalid parameter.

    <VPN Connection Name> RemoveResumptionData: 2622998127

    It seems the software is failing on "SaveResumpionData".  It also seems like there's a typo there, as the function is labeled "SaveResumpionData" while its counter part is "RemoveResumptionData" .. note the "t" between mp_ion in the Remove function, that does not exist in the Save_ fucntion.

    The Junos Pulse client works flawless on iOS and Android devices with my company's setup.

    I use Token based authentication, with an app called MobilePASS from SafeNet.

    Our Juniper appliance is a Junos Pulse Secure Access Service, release 7.4 R8.

    Any suggestions, feedback, or relevant information would be helpful

    I am writing to verify that this Tuesday's update does NOT fix VPN access on Juniper VPNs either. Microsoft, please fix this!
