Cisco VPN on Edgy Ubuntu v6.10

I have a complicated (to me) problem with trying to use Ubuntu 6.10 on our office network.
Our IT group set me up with the proprietary Cisco VPN client for Mac OS X for my home machine. This client lets me connect to our secure office network without a problem. I am interested now in doing the same thing for an Intel-based ubuntu machine I have on the same home network.
To do that, I've been using the free kVPN program. It seems to have a mode that allows for Cisco connections, but I have not been able to make it work. The client is looking for something called an IPSec ID and group password, two things the official Cisco VPN client on OS X does not ask for. Blank entries don't seem to work. Copying my username and password doesn't work either. Do you have any idea what this client wants and
what I should be putting there? This is something that the proprietary Cisco client on the Mac does not ask for. I've tried entering nothing, the IP address I'm connecting to (which I also entered already), but none of these settings seem to work
OK. I wgeted (w-got?) the official cisco vpnclient, compiled and installed it.
I don't have a .pcf file for my work network. My Mac client doesn't seem to need one - at least, I can't find one.
I've tried to create one using the sample.pcf, but it's not working. It still seems to want group ID and an IPsec address.
I've tried leaving those blank, making up entries, but each time I get the error:

Network security is not one of my skills. Any guidance as to how to proceed from here would be truly appreciated.

Cisco VPN freezes my Ubuntu

Hi there,
I have a Dell D630 running Ubuntu 8.04 and the Oracle VPN client I got from [Oracle Vsupport|https://vsupport.oracle.com/downloads/software/index.html]. It installed fine. I had no errors. However, when I try to run it over wireless, the whole machine freezes. Any ideas on how to solve this issue? I've seen / tried many things on the Ubuntu forums, but I had no luck.
My kernel version is 2.6.24-19, and my wireless driver is iwl4965: Detected Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN.
Any help is appreciated. I'm trying so hard to get rid of Windows once for all. :)
Cheers,
George

Make sure which kernel you are using:
# uname -r
and verify that you installed a 32-bit version VPN if you have an ix86 arch or a 64-bit version for an x86_64 arch. I've had the 32-bit version install fine on a 64-bit kernel but everything froze when I tried to use it. This wasn't on a D630, though.

Ubuntu 9.10 and Cisco VPN

I was wondering if anyone has gotten VPN to work properly under the new Ubuntu release, 9.10?
In case you have, which version of VPN are you running and how did you patch the vpnclient source code to handle the 2.6.31 kernel?
Erik

The issues related to the Cisco VPN client have to do with the kernel version, which will affect both RH and Debian based systems -
http://ilapstech.blogspot.com/2009/09/cisco-vpn-client-on-karmic-koala.html
http://www.net-security.org/advisory.php?id=10892
The first link has to do with Ubuntu 9.10 (Debian based). The second link is a Mandriva (RH based) site. The issues stem from kernels post 2.6.31rc3 and the architecture that was introduced. See both articles for more information.
As far as this particular issue, good question. I'm still trying to figure this one out myself, but figured I would share what I've found thus far.

Even when I drop the OEL 5 firewall -- the remote peer will still "no longer respond"
Also, while the VPN is connected, browsers set to the proper proxy and mail do not connect and return data, etc...
Then it just does this -->

Any advise will be appreciated....
Thanks.....

1) Note that I do understand that external mail will not work when connected to the vpn, only internal mail
2) When the vpn is connected, the following should work and both "do not work":
a) When pointing to the proper proxy, the browser should display "external pages like google" and internal pages..
b) And, internal imap mail should work - it does not
3) on a windows machine in the same exact subnet/network vpn works fine...?
4) Also, I have had vpn working with ubuntu 9.1x just previously in the same exact subnet/network!
5) ==> Something is not letting the vpn communicate "after" it is connected on the OEL 5 server ?
Thanks...

Configure cisco vpn connection in linux console

Hi all,
how do I configure cisco vpn_client connection in ubuntu/debian/raspbian linux console using .pcf file?
Thanks ahead.

I mean, what packages should I install?
Is it possible to use only "apt-get install" or I should also use "dpkg"?
Is it possible to avoid using any guid interfaces because it is headless pc?
I'm asking because I successfully use openvpn connection in console and I hope that cisco vpn is also possible here.
Thanks for your attention and best regards!

Cisco VPN Client is not opening on windows 7 64bits

Hello,
My problem : i instaled Cisco VPN client 5.0.07.0440-k9 on Windows 7 64 bits, the installation ends successfully. But when i restard the computer, when i click it doesnt open.
Notice : when i restard the computer, it takes an infinite time the first rebooting , in the final stage of boot ( The black window with the Microsoft logo and message Windows Is Starting ...) '' it takes an infinite time so i force the reboot.
started the same thread here but no answer yet.
Thank you

check your event viewer/System log. You may see some entries stating that
"The Cisco Systems Inc. IPSec Driver failed to start due to the following error: Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file."
disable digital signatures (NOT recommended) and cisco works fine
I guess Cisco has already killed this program if they aren't even getting it certified.

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,

Cisco VPN client can't ping remote network.

I have recently installed a Cisco 5505 and have problems with some of the Cisco VPN Hosts I connect to using the Cisco VPN dialer. The Cisco Dialer connects fine but I am unable to connect to any computers on the remote network.
I have tracked the issue down to the ones that work & the ones that don't. If the remote Cisco is on the same sub-net as the computers I am connecting to it works fine. If the remote Cisco is on a differant sub-net then the computer I am trying to connect to it won't work unless I set up a static nat for a given pc on my network.
When I run through the dynamic Nat for my network I get the following error on the 5505.
regular translation creation failed for protocol 50 src inside:192.168.97.215 dst outside:xx.xxx.xx.xxx
I have been trying to find a solution to this issue ever since I installed the router and have not had any luck with any of the suggestions I have found on the Web. I have attached my config.
Any help would be appreciated.
Mike

Thanks for your response.
Yes that exactly the setup we are trying to get to work.
I have a call into them now and will check on their set up but I have no control over how they configure their routers I can only make requests.
I was hoping there was something causing it on my side as I deal with Hospitals and they can get very picky about their security.
I guess what is confusing me is it works if it goes through a Static Nat but not if it runs through our dynamic Nat.

ASA , Cisco VPN client with RADIUS authentication

Hi,
I have configured ASA for Cisco VPN client with RADIUS authentication using Windows 2003 IAS.
All seems to be working I get connected and authenticated. However even I use user name and password from Active Directory when connecting with Cisco VPN client I still have to provide these credentials once again when accessing domain resources.
Should it work like this? Would it be possible to configure ASA/IAS/VPN client in such a way so I enter user name/password just once when connecting and getting access to domain resources straight away?
Thank you.
Kind regards,
Alex

Hi Alex,
It is working as it should.
You can enable the vpn client to start vpn before logon. That way you login to vpn and then logon to the domain. However, you are still entering credentials twice ( vpn and domain) but you have access to domain resources and profiles.
thanks
John

I cannot route to remote subnets from cisco vpn client and pptp client

Hi guys,
I've a big problem, I configured a 877 cisco router as a cisco vpn server (the customer use it to connect to his network from pc) and a pptp vpn server (he use it to connet to the network from a smartphone).
In this router I created 2 vlan, one for wired network (192.168.10.0/24) and the second one (10.0.0.0/24) for wireless clients and I use fastethernet 3 port to connect these to the router.
this is the issue, when the customer try to connect to a wireless network from both of vpn clients he cannot do this, but if he try to connect to a wired network client all working fine.
following the addresses taken from the router.
- encrypted vpn client -
ip address. 192.168.10.20
netmask 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway. none (blank)
- pptp vpn client -
ip address. 192.168.10.21
netmask. 255.255.255.255
Default Gateway. 192.168.10.21
Is possible that I cannot reach the remote subnet because the clients doesn't receive a gateway (in the first case) or receive the wrong subnet/gateway (in the second one)..?
There is anyone can help me..?
Thank you very much.
Many Kisses and Kindly Regards..
Ilaria

The default gateway on your PC is not the problem, it will always show as the same IP address (this is no different when you dial up to an ISP, your DG will again be set to your negotiated IP address).
The issue will be routing within the campus network and more importantly on the PIX itself. The campus network needs a route to the VPN pool of addresses that eventually points back to the PIX.
The issue here is that the PIX will have a default gateway pointing back out towards your laptop. When you establish a VPN and try and go to an Internet address, the PIX is going to route this packet according to its routing table and send it back out the interface it came in on. The PIX won't do this, and the packet will be dropped. Unless you can set the PIX's routing table to forward Internet packets to the campus network, there's no way around this. Of course if you do that then you'll break connectivity thru the PIX for all the internal users.
The only way to do this is to configure split tunnelling on the PIX, so that packets destined for the Internet are sent directly from your laptop in the clear just like normal, and any packet destined for the campus network is encrypted and sent over the tunnel.
Here's the format of the command:

Boot camp with Cisco VPN client and smart card

Looking at a Macbook or Macbook Air and the only reason I need to run windows is to be able to access my work network through the Cisco VPN client and my Smartcard then use remote desktop. From my understanding if I run Bootcamp it should work am I correct? Im going to an Apple store tomorrow hopefully they can help too.
Thanks

Ok with that being said will the MBA 11.6 1.4ghz have the guts to make it run mostly internet based programs over the VPN connection?
I think if you are running apps over the Internet the bottleneck will be the Internet and your VPN bandwidth. Your computer can certainly execute faster than Internet communications.
Besides, Internet or remote applications run on the remote server. All your local computer does is local processing of the data if necessary.

Problem with Cisco VPN client and HP elitebook 2530p windows 7 64-bit

Hi there
I have a HP Elitebook 2530p which i upgraded to windows 7 64-bit. I installed the Cisco VPN client application (ver. 5.0.07.0290 and also 64-bit) and the HP connection manager to connect to the internet through a modem Qualcomm gobi 1000 (that is inside the laptop). When I connect to the VPN, it connects (I write the username and password) but there is no traffic inside de virtual adapter for my servers. When I connect to the internet through wire or wireless internet, I connect de VPN client and there is no problem to establish communication to my servers.
I tried everything, also change the driver and an earlier version of the HP connection manager application. I also talked to HP and they told me that there was a report with this kind of problem and it was delivered to Cisco. I don’t know where is the problem.
Could anyone help me?
Thanks to all.

You can try to update Deterministic Network Enhancer to the below listed release which supports
WWAN Drivers.
http://www.citrix.com/lang/English/lp/lp_1680845.asp.
DNE now supports WWAN devices in Win7. Before downloading the latest version of DNEUpdate from the links below, be sure you have the latest
drivers for your network adapters by downloading them from the vendors websites.
For 64-bit: ftp://files.citrix.com/dneupdate64.msi
Hope that helps.

Cisco VPN client and mac mail

Hi all,
I wonder if someone can be more helpful than my uni IT department who take a minimum of a week to get you an IP address...
My new uni uses Cisco VPN client for connection to the Wi-Fi network. It all works great apart from one (very annoying problem):-my e-mail accounts in mac mail don't seem to be able to connect via the VPN. I have had both an IMAP and a POP server e-mail account work automatically wherever I connect in the world for over a year now-so its not the way I've set up the accounts.
Is there any way to get mac mail to "see" the VPN connection. If I have to physically plug-in my mac this seems a tad ridiculous when it works in every coffee shop with free wi-fi.
My uni are not helpful as they want people to use either outlook or better still log-on to their e-mail using the web. I don't even want to use their e-mail-what is the point when I move jobs again in a year. What I do currently is use an IMAP account from my last job which I've set to forward to my "e-mail for life" from my undergrad uni. I basically only give out my life e-mail address and this also goes on all my papers.
If I can't access this easily and sort all my mail in all the folders I've created to filter out things like facebook etc. I'm wondering what the point of mac mail is.

Yeah, that stuff normally works for me. Unfortunately this is a situation where you have to use an external Cisco VPN client software, whether you like it or not. Its this horrible clunky thing (which at least half works I guess). So its only like normal wi-fi in terms of selecting the network, then you have to open up this application and put in your log-in etc. Most of the settings on this client seem locked, so there isn't much I can do to configure it.
I've just got to my (temporary) accommodation which doesn't have wi-fi or VPN (just ethernet) and my mail is working again-so it must be the VPN. Goodness knows how it works with an iPod touch (interested in getting one but kind of pointless if I spend most of my time at work and it doesn't work...)
Thanks for your suggestions though!

Cisco VPN client and Novell and Panda AV

I have found an issue with one of my clients PC's that prevents him from using network resources over the VPN tunnel.
PC
Win XP SP2
VPN client - 5.0 (Newest download)
Novell - Client 4.91 SP4 for win 4.91.4
Panda AC 4.02.40
Ok here's what happens
I made a PCF file for a handful of users to connect in and be able to access 2 servers.
On the machine with the above information installed. It will connect to the VPN. Everything seems fine but if I RDP or ping access to the server it will not go. I then installed it on my machine and it works.
So I fully investigated the one PC that doesn't work. I noticed in the TCPIP stack of both the Ethernet card and the Cisco adaptor. There is a Novell client and a panda client.
Now if I uncheck one or the other it works. (I know there's posts about panda not working and the posts are 2 years old) It will work with just panda or Novell. When I check both it fails.
Now has anyone seen this issue with these two products installed on a machine with Cisco VPN.
Also, who should this go to, Novell, Panda or both?

I stated i did that and it works. Each one works when its the only thing checked.
Thanks

Cisco VPN Client and Border Manager

Don't know if this is the correct spot, but here goes. We are using BM 3.8sp4 using proxy, and NAT. We have a contractor that needs to access his company network using a Cisco VPN Client Ver 5. They have Enable Transparent Tunneling checked in the client and IPSec over TCP port 1000.
Is this a filter exception to let it out or something else I need to set up?

Port 1000, or 10000? (10,000 is something I've seen in the past, and
is what I used for the example in my BMgr filtering book. See URL
below).
You would probably need to open two ports up, in FILTCFG, from private
to public interfaces. First, IKE-st (UDP 500). Next, make a custom
stateful one for port 1000 (or whatever), probably UDP.
The last Cisco IPSec VPN client I used through BMgr needed UDP 500 and
UDP 4500 opened, just like the Novell IPSec VPN client. So I was able
to use the definitions supplied by Novell in FILTCFG. In your case,
you will probably have to add at least one custom exception.
Filter debug will tell you what is being filtered, if you know how to
use it. Or get PKTSCAN.NLM from download.novell.com, load it on the
server, and capture packets. Look at them on the server, or use
Wireshark, and you will see what protocol/ports are being sent from the
client IP address.
