Cisco IPSec Client - shared key size

Hello,
I have got a question concerning the Cisco IPSec Client.
Could you tell me, how large the key may be (max. 64 or 127 characters) ?
Thanks and regards
Patrick

Just to help somebody else facing an issue similar to this one.
Open Advanced menu from the configurated VPN in the Network Preferences and check 'Send all traffic over VPN connection'.
The problem is when you have a VPN that routes all the traffic, if you want specific routes they should be configured and passed on from the router.
I've configured a tested several vpn connections to Cisco ASA without an issue when the routes are configured on it (vpn_net1, vpn_net2 and so on) but when the route isn't specified in the router it should be considered as a default route and this option needed to be checked.

Cisco IPSec Client Setup for Wireless

I would like to set up Cisco IPSec VPN Client on a wireless Laptop to authenticate to a Cisco Radius Server 3.2. (WLC 4100)with pre-share keys.
I have setup the basic parameters on the WLC,SSID, VLAN, L3 Security IPSec and default IPSec parameters. The WLC does not seem to send/forward any kind of request to ACS at all and when i connect on the Wireless Client it behaves as a pass through VPN.
Thank you,

Static addressing for Cisco IPSEC client

Hey Guys,
Is there a way for Cisco client based users to use static addresses instead of receivinga a dhcp address? This will be setup on a Cisco 2801 router. We usually just do dhcp but this customer is requesting static address for each user.
Thanks
Jimmy

A scalable solution would be to configure a RADIUS server and provide the client their IP address via the frame-ip-address attribute. A hack could be to have a group defined on the EasyVPN server which is associated with an IP pool that has only one address available.

Can AnyConnect & Cisco IPsec co-exist on client pc?

Hi- a home user has to connect to one
business using AnyConnect and to us using Cisco IPsec client.
When installing AnyConnect, it wiped out the IPSec client. Can they co-exist on his pc and function side by side?
I'm sure they can't be used simultaneously, but can't both clients be installed for very different connections?
He's running 32-bit xp.
Thanks.

Kathy
I am surprised that installation of AnyConnect removed the traditional IPSec client. I have not had that experience. I have several PCs running Windows XP SP3 which have both AnyConnect and IPSec clients installed. Either client works just fine (but not both at the same time).

Mapped drives do not open after connecting via Cisco VPN Client

I have an issue when I initially connect to my remote network, I cannot get to any mapped drive unless I wait a few minutes for the VPN connect to mature. To explain further, I have to wait 2-4 minutes after connecting to the VPN for me to actually connect to those drives.
The error that pops up is:
"An error occurred while reconnecting to DriveLetter: to \\Server\sharedDrive\ Microsoft WIndows Network: The network path was not found. This connection has not been restored.
Now, immediately after I connect, I am able to successfully ping the server that hosts those folder locations but for some reason I cannot get to the server via UNC/shared drives until I wait a few minutes after connecting.
Below is the list of error logs I get when attempting to connect to the mapped drives during those first few minutes of connectivity:

Any ideas on what it could be?

I have a client that is showing a similar issue.. Windows 7 computer using Cisco IPSec client terminating on a Cisco 881 Router. I can ping the server by IP, Name and even access the drive from the start menu option, but not the mapped drive. Currently I am looking into this from a offline file issue in windows, but ran across this post and was wondering if you had figured this out? I am going to try the following and will post back if that resolves it.
Doing some research I found that Windows 7 and Vista both have what’s called “slow link mode”. The behavior is that if the latency of the network connection exceeds 80 milliseconds (ms), the system will transition the files to “offline mode”. The 80 ms value is configurable using a local group policy edit.
Open Group policy (start -> run -> gpedit.msc)
Expand “Computer Configuration”
Expand “Administrative Templates”
Expand “Network”
Click on “Offline Files”
Locate “Configure slow-link mode”
This policy can either be disabled or set to a higher value for slower connections.

Cisco ASA 5505 IPsec client VPN - Cannot connect to local hosts

I have created a Cisco IPsec vpn on my ASA using the VPN creation wizard. I am able to successfully connect to the vpn and seemingly join the network, but after I connect I am unable to connect to or ping any of the hosts on the network.
Checking the ASA I can see that a VPN session is open and my client reports that it is connected. If I attempt to ping the client from the ASA all packets are dropped.
I suspect it may be an issue with my firewall, but I am not really sure where to begin.
Here is a copy of my config, any pointers or tips are aprpeciated:

Hi Conor,
What is your local net ? I see only one default route for outside network. Dont you need a route inside for your local network.

ASA Iphone, Ipad VPN client pre-shared key (PSK) special characters bug

I ran into this in a deployment of IPSec clients with apple ipad and iphone native vpn client. Here are details:
Cisco ASA 8.2.5 OS
Ipad, running 5.0.1
Iphone i4S, running OS 5.0.1
Special characters make your pre-shared key more secure, so i used a password generator app to make one that coincidently included a " (quotation mark). After configuring this PSK on a Ipad, i was unable to connect. I saw nothing in the ASA logs, indicating the Ipad didnt even try to connect.
The Ipad generated the following error message:
VPN Connection
A configuration error occured
OK Button
After searching for quite some time, i found this somewhat obscure reference to the bug:
http://blogs.oreilly.com/iphone/2008/07/strong-passwords-can-hurt.html
Special thx to this guy!
So i started to test special characters to see what would work, adding in 1 character at a time. Here is where I stopped:
pre-shared-key !@#$%^&*()_-+=;:'<>,.
These characters worked in the PSK. If you are curious, and want to play, have fun. I assume the alphnumerics will work since those are pretty standard.
As a side note, here are a few more interesting items:
1) The " (quote mark) does work when you run the real cisco vpn client. This was successful on a Windows 7 laptop with 5.X VPN Client.
2) The ? (question mark) doesnt work as well, but that is a little easier to figure out because when you configure it on the ASA, context-sensitive help kicks in and knocks you off the config line.
3) Iphone I4S suffers from the same issue - doesnt like quotes.
4) Android is probably not affected by this bug, but I tested on an open source TUN driver- enabled adroid - not the bionic.
Hope that saves someone some time, sometime!
W

Thanks for the tip.
Help stamp out special characters in passwords. Their "strength" is a myth!
Explained nicely here: http://xkcd.com/936/

Inbuilt cisco IPSEC vpn client and KeyLife Timeout setting...

Hi Guys
I am having issues with the in built cisco vpn client on the mac, I am currrently using Mac OSx 10.7.4
I have a Fortigate 200B device and have setup the IPSec VPN settings to have a keylife of 86400 seconds.
However the expereince I am having with the mac clients is that after about 50 minutes the users are being asked to re-authencate to the VPN...
When checkin the debug logs I can see that the peer (mac client) is setting the phase 2 tunnel key lifetime to 3600 seconds which is 1 Hour...
Usually in IPSec a re-negeotiation process takes place about 10 minutes or so before the key expires..
My question is where are the VPN settings kept in the Mac... I know it uses Racoon for the IPSec exchange of key and so I would like to tweak the VPN profiles so that the mac sets the lifetime of the key to 86400 instead of 3600 by default...
Also want to be able to set logging to debug mode for the Racoon application on mac clients.
Your help is much appreciated
Kind Regards
Mohamed

Hi Tony,
to the best of my knowledge this is currently not possible, but will be once this enhancement is implemented:
CSCsw31922 Radius upstream VSAs (Tunnel Group,Client type) for VPN policy decisions
You may want to try and ask in the AAA forum if there is anything you can do on ACS...

Cisco IPSec and XAuthPassword profile key

I am creating the config profile for iPhone, while using iPhone Configuration Utility I can not enter password for IPSec VPN as the application does not have UI for that.
I had found, though, that manually writing "XAuthPassword" key into the config profile does the trick, iPhone do recognize that entry and sets the password automatically on applying profile.
So, the questions are:
1) Is this config key officially supported on iOS for IPSec VPN? If yes, then starting with which version?
2) Because iPhone Configuration Utility does not allow me to create signed profiles containing XAuthPassword key, can I manually sign the configuration profile I had edited?
Thank you in advance

Hi,
in « iOS Configuration Profile Reference »:
IPSec Dictionary Keys
XAuthEnable – Integer:1 if XAUTH is ON, 0 if it is OFF. Used for Cisco IPSec.
It turn off XAuth and do not ask for User/Password.
You can try this option by editing configuration profile like this:
<key>XAuthEnabled</key>
<integer>0</integer>
<key>AuthenticationMethod</key>
<string>Certificate</string>
but I can`t resolve the problem, I seems it is a ios (4.3.1) bug, because my vpn-server works fine with other vpn-clients, like Cisco VPN Client, with certificate authentication and without xauth.
Best regards!

Mavericks VPN dropouts with native VPN client and Cisco IPSec

Since update to Maverics I am experiencing VPN dropouts with native VPN client and Cisco IPSec
I am connecting via a WIFI router to a remote VPN server
The conenction is good for a while but eventually it drops out.
I had Zero issues in mountain lion and only have issues since the update to 10.9
I had similar issues in teh past with an unrelaibel wifi router but i am using a Verizon Fios router and it has worked impecably until mavericks
My thoughts are:
1 -issue with mavericks ( maybe the app sleep funciton affecting eithe VPN or WIFI daemons)
2- Issue with cisco router compaitibility or timing with Cisco IPSEC
3- Issue with WIFI itself on mavericks - some sort of WIFI software bug
Any thousuggestions?

Cisco IPSec VPN Client and sending a specific Radius A-V value to ACS 5.2

This setup is to try routing Cisco VPN to either RSA or Entrust from Cisco ACS 5.2, depending on some parameter in incoming AUTH request from Cisco IPSec VPN Client 5.x. Tried playing with pcf files and user names/identity stores, none seems working

Hi Tony,
to the best of my knowledge this is currently not possible, but will be once this enhancement is implemented:
CSCsw31922 Radius upstream VSAs (Tunnel Group,Client type) for VPN policy decisions
You may want to try and ask in the AAA forum if there is anything you can do on ACS...

Profile for Cisco IPsec VPN does not set shared secret correctly

Hi,
We have a shared secret configuration for a Cisco IPsec (connecting to an ASA). I can correctly configure a profile for the Cisco IPsec VPN and deliver it to the device. However, the VPN connection fails due to an invalid shared secret. If I then go into the VPN settings on the device itself and manually retype the shared secret, it works fine.
I have noticed this when generating the mobileconfig profile both from Apple's iPhone Configuration Utility and also when using the MobileIron management platform to generate and push profiles.
Has anyone else seen this problem? I'm really confident that I'm typing the shared secret correctly in the iPCU generated profile as I've tried it many times. It also has happened across every flavor of iOS 3.x and 4.x (including the 4.2 betas).
thanks

Hi,
Thanks for the reply but it is a bit of a strange one. What makes you think the shared secret we are using - which you don't know - is more than 32 characters long. I can promise you it isn't. There's a bug in the way mobileconfig files are storing the encrypted shared secret values. I've now seen it on a third party mobile device management platform too.

Using Cisco VPN client certificate for built in IPSec?

Hi,
Does anybody know if it is possible to "convert" a certificate exported from Cisco VPN client and import it into the Keychain for using it with built-in IPSec in Snow Leopard?
Thanks,
Oli

I too am having trouble importing the Cisco certificate. It would be nice for some clear documentation. We've been successful converting the x.509 cer to KPCS#7 using openssl which will import into the keychain. However, the VPN (Cisco IPSec) sill doesn't see it.

Hello Wayne,
Can you use a different subnet range than the internal interface, this could cause you a LOT of issues and hours on troubleshooting, so use a dedicated different Ip address range...
I can see that the local Pool range is included into the inside interface Ip address subnet range, change that and the related config ( NAT,etc, ) and let us know what happens,
Regards,
Julio
