Re: Failed to connect to the Pulse Secure service.

Do you have Pulse client installed on the machine?

Yes. I do. I tried reinstall it, upgrade/downgrade it. Nothing seems to work. I used to work perfectly fine until the last osx update.

Re: Failed to connect to the Pulse Secure service.

Same problem here. After install, I can connect. Then, after disconnection or reboot, the app says'Network error' without any further explanation. Catalina 10.15.4.

Re: Failed to connect to the Pulse Secure service.

Hi @pjnote,

 

Can you please try to run sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/net.pulsesecure.AccessService.plist  on the terminal and see if it helps.

Re: Failed to connect to the Pulse Secure service.

@sebasnl I think "network error" is different issue, it could be caused by Pulse Service crash but not as same as service disabled. I am seeing these issues with Catalina 10.15.4. Any chance of opening a support ticket with us?
