In my case, I did have my initial doubts if the pulse secure app will work successfully or not. My doubt turned out to be true and it did not work correctly out of the box.
If you download the Intel-based Pulse Secure version 9.1.9 application from Pulse secure website or from your company website, the application will not be able to successfully connect to your corporate network.
It will time out with a network error!! Googled out a bit & to my luck found this community post from Pulse Secure community website https://community.pulsesecure.net/t5/Pulse-Connect-Secure/PSAL-failed-to-Launch-Java-Applet-MacOS-Catalina-10-15-4/m-p/45177/highlight/true#M28690
It turned out that you will need to install Oracle Java 25 from here https://javadl.oracle.com/webapps/download/AutoDL?BundleId=244576_d7fc238d0cbf4b0dac67be84580cfb4b and then restart Pulse Secure 9.1.9 and continue to connect to your corporate network connection URL & this time it should connect successfully once the SSO login with your corporate credentials works successfully.
