Importing Cisco VPN information into Finder VPN

Hello,
I have recently upgraded to OSX Lion and the Cisco VPN Client used by my university no longer works. They suggest another client (Shrew Soft), which also doesn't work. What I'd like to be able to do is use the VPN configuration information provided by my institute with the Finder's own VPN capability, bypassing the need for a buggy client programm.
I've already read this thread, however it hasn't helped:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2274119?start=0&tstart=0
My problem seems to be that I need TWO files to configure Cisco correctly, a root certificate (which appears to be in .pem format) and a .pcf file. If I follow the "standard procedure" for importing the .pcf details -- that is, without using the root certificate somehow -- I get the message "The VPN server did not respond. Verify the server address and try reconnecting." Clearly I need somehow to be using BOTH files in order to establish a connection.
I have messed around with adding the root certificate to my System keychain, but the Finder doesn't display it when I go to "authentification settings". Instead I have only two certificates with "apple" in the name.
Even if I could add the root certificate successfully, this would surely be fruitless, as I would then no longer be using the shared secret.
SO, my query is: How can I combine both of these files into a single certificate that I can then add to my keychain and use for machine identification? Please bear in mind that I am not a computer specialist and am not au fait with Open SSL, and so forth. I'm prepared to grapple with it if it's the only way to get my VPN working again, but I will really need a very clear explanation of each step!
Many thanks in advance!

No ideas?

Importing NT User information into Portal

We are using Portal in an NT environment, and we have been able to get through the necessary single sign on issues.
Now, we need to pull our NT user information into Portal's user database, including all the groupings we already have set up so that we can take advantage of Portal's exceptional security features. This is key to our ability to use the product, and to our demo in a week.
The fact is we have 5,000 users to enter, and it is prohibitive for us to do that through the standard Portal APIs. We already have the users' input once in NT, we can get a flat file with all the information we need, we just need a way to get this information
into the appropriate tables within Portal's database.
Is there a script or some more "automated" way you can suggest for us to do this?

Maybe you could try to use an intermediate LDAP export file (ldif), since Active Directory is LDAP-based and you can plug a LDAP to your Portal SSO Login Server.
I only have tried exporting and importing using .ldif files up to now.
I also have heard about techniques to use NT user account info to log on to Portal ; 'could be easier.

I have an airport extreme with a HP Folio laptop and cannon pixma MX882 printer. when i am VPN'd in thru Cisco vpn and try to print the wireless print connection stops. i Un-VPN and it prints. then i have to go back into VPN to continue?how do i configure

i have an Airport Extreme wireless router, HP Folio laptop (company supplied) and a Canon PIXMA MX882 wireless printer,copier, scanner and fax.
when i am VPN's in thru CISCO VPN to my company Intranet site I cannot print wirelessly. i have to turn off VPN, priint and log back into the company intranet site. is there a way to configure the router so that it is not blocking the signal?
Tx

The problem is not the router.. the issue is the vpn has put your computer in a different IP range with a different gateway. When you turn off the vpn the computer returns to local lan and can print.
Some vpn software allows you to set gateway to use local net instead of remote gateway or access to other webistes or local lan.
Read up the issue.

Cisco vpn client..
https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/239113
I did not search much.. just grabbed the first article I could find that explains the issue.
The whole point of the vpn is whilst it is connected your computer is NOT part of the Local Lan .. it is part of the Remote LAN via the vpn tunnel.
It is also a security risk using split tunnelling so often it will not be allowed.
Plug the printer directly into the computer via usb or whatever.. Local connection will work.. not local lan.

Is there really a Cisco VPN client for Linux? _Really?_

Hello folks,
        I've finally after almost experiencing a brain aneurysm by trying to think too hard got my Cisco 881-SEC-K9 router properly configured for a multipoint IPSec VPN tunnel to my Amazon Virtual Private Cloud, so that hurdle is finally passed and I actually feel it was a very important milestone in my life somehow. I never thought I'd see the day I actually got my hands on a legitimate Cisco non-stink... erm.. I mean, non-linksys router. Now I just can't seem to find a 'client' VPN program for Linux. I'm currently running a Xen Hypervisor environment on openSUSE Linux because it's the only Linux distribution that completes all of my strenous requirements in a Linux server environment. It's also the most mature, and secure Linux on this planet, making it the most appreciable Linux distribution for my research needs. Using NetworkManager is not really an option for a basic Linux server environment, and OpenVPN is just too confusing to comprehend for my tiny little head. I've heard mention of some mysterious "Easy VPN" but after hours of digging online can't find any information about it, even the Cisco download link leads to a Page Not Found error. I do see a Linux VPN API for the AnyConnect program, but is that an actual VPN client, or just an API? It seems to want my money to download it but I don't have any money nor do I really know what it is because it's all secretive-like, closed source, and I can't even find a simple README file on it explaining what it is exactly. I'm just an out-of-work software developer trying to connect to my home router for personal use and I can't really afford to fork over a million and a half dollars for a single program that I'm only going to need to download once in my lifetime that should have been included with the router in the first place. I more than likely won't even be able to figure out how to use the program anyways because I don't know anything about VPN connections which is why I bought this router so I can try to figure it all out as part of the not-for-profit open source, volunteer research I'm presently trying to conduct. Is there some kind of evaluation or trial period for personal use? That would be really nice so I could at least figure out if I'm going to be able to figure it out or not. I hate throwing money away when it's in such short supply these days. There's really no alternative to a Cisco router. It's an absolute necessity for the things I'm trying to accomplish, so trying to settle for something else and going on with my life is not really an option. No, this is something I just need to face head on and get it over with.
<Rant>
       Maybe I have a little too much crazy in me for my own good, but I don't see why it should take so much money just to learn how to do something for personal reference, it's not really a skill I would ever use otherwise. Wouldn't it be great if Cisco made their VPN client open source and free to the public to use and modify, to improve on, to learn and to grow and bring the whole world closer together as a community? Even the source code to the old discontinued Cisco VPN client could be used as a valuable learning tool for some poor starving college student or Open Source Software developer somewhere trying to get by on Ramen Noodles and Ramen Noodle Sauce on Toast (don't tell me you never thought about it). Through the ripple effect, It would drastically improve sales over the course of time, because it would open the door to a whole new market where those who previously could not afford to participate now could. That's the true power of Open Source. It creates a more skilled work force for the future by openly contributing and sharing knowledge together. What if the next big internet technology and the solution to world tyranny - the solution to end all wars forever - were locked in the mind of an unemployed software developer who couldn't afford to upgrade their cisco router software or access the software they needed because it was closed source and required committing to an expensive service contract to download? That would be just terrible, wouldn't it? I guess there's no way to ever know for sure. I suppose I'd be just as happy if some kind soul out there could point me to an easy to use alternative to an always on VPN connection that runs in the background which doesn't require NetworkManager or having to spend days upon days digging through and trying to comprehend either some really poor or extremely complex documentation? I apologize for all the run on sentences posed as questions, but I've just got some serious mental burnout from all of this, being unemployed is some hard work folks. I could really use a vacation. Perhaps a camping trip to the coast is in order after I get this working, that sounds nice, doesn't it? Nothing like a good summer thunder storm on the ocean beach - far away from technology - to refresh the mind.
</Rant>

I do tend to talk too much and I don't mince any words either. What I am however, is really appreciative for the help. I know you hear that all the time, but you have no idea how much time and headache you just saved me. I think vpnc might be just what I've been looking for, unless someone can think of a client for Linux that I might be able to throw a little further. I'm very security minded now, after the backlash of Blackhat 2013, there's no telling which direction the internet might head next. Oh, you didn't hear? Well wether they realize it or not, DARPA basically declared war with other government agencies by releasing their own version of a spy program for civilians to use against the whoever -- possibly even the governmnet itself. They even went so far as to suggest it's private usage to blanket entire cities in information gathering. Civilians are a powerful foe, as they are not bound by the oath of office, any evidence they obtain is admissible in court, wether they know that or not. There's a very important reason for that. It's to prevent another civil war from ever happening, we shed enough blood the first time around less people forgot. It's something that can and will be avoided because our civilization has advanced beyond the need for bloodshed. The courts have to obey the majority rule, no matter what. For the first time in history, cyberwarfare can reach into the physical world to cause serious damage to physical structures like the nuclear facility incident in Iran. There's scarry bills trying to sneak through congress that are changing the landscape of technology forever for the entire world. We're at a pivotal point now where things can happen. It will be interesting to see how it all plays out over the next decade or so. No matter which way you look at it, just be preparerd to sell a whole lot of routers.

Cisco VPN on Mac existing with Apani

Hello:
I recently installed Apani VPN ( a Mac client for Nortel Contivity connections that connects through a browser) on the same machine with my Cisco VPN. Now for my customers with Cisco VPN connections I fail to connect with this error:
51 11:12:50.183 09/16/2011 Sev=Critical/1 CVPND/0xC3400003
Function SocketApiBind() failed with an error code of 0xFFFFFFFF(ike-init-state.cpp:402)
52 11:12:50.183 09/16/2011 Sev=Critical/1 CVPND/0x43400012
Unable to bind to IKE port. This could be because there is another VPN client installed or running. Please disable or uninstall all VPN Clients other than the Cisco VPN Client.
Only problem is I cannot find this process in my Activity Monitor--I'm not sure what the process is. The is no application that I can see in my "Applications Folder". I haven't been able to get help from Apani. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Cisco but no joy.
Any idea how I can get cisco taking over again? If I have to choose between the two it is more important to get CIsco working. I am running a Macbook with OS 10.6.8.
Thanks.

Apple's support section (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306256) says "How to enable Cisco VPN connections
You should use Cisco's VPN client software to establish a Cisco VPN connection via an AirPort Extreme base station. Note: In the Cisco VPN client preferences, make sure the "NAT-T" option is enabled.
Note: Some corporate firewall configurations may cause issues with the Cisco VPN software.
Please contact AppleCare support if you are unable to contact a Cisco VPN server via Cisco VPN client software and an AirPort Extreme base station.
I'm experiencing the same thing. DellLatitude D610. Netgear rangemax wireless PC card (WPN511). I can connect to the internet but I try to vpn into work I get half way through the connection process and get an error which states" Secure VPN Connection terminated locally by the Client. Reason 412: The remote peer is no longer responding. I've spent 2 hours trying different settings. I really want to stick w/the apple product but will have to return it if I can't get it to work. I need cisco vpn via wintel for work.

Problems w/ VPN Server & Cisco VPN Client on same machine

I really wish that I read about how the developer of the program iVPN no longer supports his work BEFORE I paid for it. It's a great, simple, GUI frontend to the existing Leopard VPN server built in to regular (non-server) OSX...
Anyway, on my Mac that stays @ home:
(1) - I have the iVPN server set up & running to allow me to connect (from my iphone or another computer on the road) to my Mac @ home using L2TP.
(2) - When I'm @ home and need to connect to my company's network, I need to use the Cisco VPN Client (which uses IPSec etc).
So, I found out that when I need to use my Mac to connect to work, I first have to open up the iVPN server to click "Stop Server" (which has me enter my password twice sometimes). Now I close iVPN until I'm done, then open up Activity Monitor for the purpose of finding the still-running process "racoon". I realized this not because it's published info, but because if I don't do this, and try to connect to work using the Cisco VPN Client, it simply will not connect. So, I quit the process "racoon" (which also has me enter my password because it's running as root yada yada). NOW, I can load Cisco VPN Client and successfully connect to my company's network. When I'm finished here, I disconnect the C.V.C., then reopen iVPN Server and restart my server (enter password again).
Is there any way I can make the process "racoon" quit automatically when I turn off the iVPN server? I'd email the developer but I guess that's a lost cause now. It's a shame because he did a fabulous job making iVPN & gave the less computer-networking-literate-user the ability to create their own VPN server without using Terminal.
I thought about the possibility of using iVPN to create a PPTP connection instead of L2TP - thinking that would allow me to keep my iVPN PPTP server running at all times, even when I wanted to use the CVC to connect OUT to work - but:
(1) - I would like the increased security of L2TP.
(2) - When I tried running a PPTP server, and connecting to it from iPhone or other computer, I was NOT able to access the other devices on my network, or the internet. I couldn't even open up a webpage to check whatismyip.com (while sending all traffic over VPN). And yes, the IP Address Range that I have iVPN handing out is within my normal home network's range.
My end goal for all of this when using my Mac is to be able to leave my iVPN server running at all times, while still being able to run the Cisco VPN CLIENT to connect to my company's network.
Or, at least not having to open up Activity Monitor to quit the process racoon... let alone having to enter my password 3 times after opening up iVPN, again to stop the server, again to quit the process racoon. Then a forth when I'm all done and need to start the iVPN server again.
Am I going about this the wrong way? Is there an easier way to accomplish these secure connections? There is a slight possibility of me upgrading and running a dedicated Mac Mini server of some sort perhaps with the real OSX Server. But not right now. I think I'm over complicating this. I mean, my needs are pretty simple:
(1) - Need to connect TO my Mac from IPhone / someone else's Mac or PC for: VNC over SSH, SSH/SFTP file level access, in the future shared network volumes (time capsule). I'd use Back To My Mac for all of this but I don't always connect FROM a Mac.
(2) - Need to connect FROM my Mac to work VPN for: VNC to my work PC to access our company's Windows-only program (dual booting into boot camp or using a virtual machine is out of the question), using Mocha for AS400 access, thinking about using file sharing on work PC but not needed so far.
So it's really just VNC and sometimes SFTP. The "S" being important to me. That's why I don't like the idea of doing away with my iVPN server and just forwarding the outside ports. I use the Vine VNC Server which when checked, only allows access over SSH. The only other remote-logins are used from my iphone using an app called BriefCase (SSH to browse files on remote machine), or using an SFTP client on a computer.
Thank you for reading all of this, and in advance for any insight you can offer.

If the two servers need the same ports, then hosting two different VPN packages on the same box usually won't work.
A firewall-based VPN service can be an option; that external box can deal with NAT and routing and other such and can field incoming or LAN-to-LAN VPNs, and your internal Mac boxes located "behind" that box can be free to initiate outbound VPNs.

Valid Cisco VPN certificate in keychain is not found by setup

My fellow MBP fans!
Has anyone successfully configured a MBP with 10.6.8 to connect to a Cisco VPN router using the built VPN Client, with certificate authentication? Please how, please!
The company I work for has recently installed a Cisco RV016 router, to allow us to connect remotely over a VPN connection.
Setting up this connection has proved so far a total nightmare.
The router exported a certificate. This I imported into the keychain and placed it in the system folder. The certificate seems to be trusted.
When setting up the network interfaces in the System preferences, I can add a Cisco IPsec interface. It accepts the IP address of the router, the userid and the password. It then asks for the authentication method. When opting for certificate, you can then browse the certificates installed to pick the right one. However, the facility does not find any certificates, ie the installed certificate is not found.
Either the certificate is in the wrong place, or in the wrong format, or just plain wrong. The certificate I am trying to use is in .pem format.
This is what I tried so far, but failed to make any progress.
- place the certificate in several locations
- convert the .pem certificate to pk12 or pk7 format, after converting it with openssl
- reset the router and request a new certificate
The same credentials work fine on a Windows machine.
Solving this would mean a lot.

The legacy VPN-client is not supported under Windows 8.1 and as the client is EOL anounced, it probably will never be supported. You have a couple of options:
There are some reports on the internet where some people got it working. If you go that way you are still running an unsupported scenario.
Go the Cisco-way and change to AnyConnect. For that your VPN-gateway needs a nearly complete new VPN-config. But in the long term, that's the way to go.
Use an alternate client like the one from shrew-soft: https://www.shrew.net/software
Don't stop after you've improved your network! Improve the world by lending money to the working poor:

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.

Cisco VPN Client and Windows XP Home

Hello,
I cannot find any information to tell me whether Windows XP Home (Not XP Professional) is supported under ant Cisco VPN client 4.xx or 5.xx.
We have several "home" users and when trying to install it just causes the pc to do a looping reboot.
Can anyone advise please ?
Scott

Scott,
Not sure if you read the release notes, but here they are are for V4.06 and V5.0:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/vpn_client/cisco_vpn_client/vpn_client46/release/notes/46clnt.html#wp1207576
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/secursw/ps2308/prod_release_note09186a0080884df5.html#wp1207576
I'm not seeing anything that prohibits XP Home, but there are several caveats that may have direct bearing on why your user's can't get it installed (administrative access to internal firewalls).

How to add new group entry in Cisco Vpn using powershell

I am working on a powershell script to connect cisco vpn using powershell, I am able to connect to vpn but not sure how to add new group to vpn. I am using the following script$vpn_profile = 'Test'
$username = 'TestUser'
$userPassword = ConvertTo-SecureString -String "Password" -AsPlainText -Force
$credentials = new-object -typename System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -argumentlist
$username,$userPassword
$password = $credentials.GetNetworkCredential().Password
Set-Location 'c:\Program Files (x86)\Cisco Systems\VPN Client'
.\vpnclient.exe connect $vpn_profile user $username pwd $password
Write-Host "You Are Connected"
cd "C:\"

Have you entered .\vpnclient.exe /? to see if it will return information about other switches you can use with this executable? Other than connect, I was able to track down a few without actually having the executable (http://www.scribd.com/doc/40108893/Cisco-VPN-Client-Command-Line).
That said, I do not believe that there is a switch that will help you create a connection. These are either done manually through the GUI, or can be likely be added by supplying a properly formatted file in the proper place.
If you're using the version of the Cisco VPN client I think you are, then your connection settings, or profiles, are stored in individual .pcf files somewhere on your computer (likely in the Cisco directory). These are simple, text-based files. Find one
on your computer, save it with another name, and then modify it manually. If you really want to use PowerShell, then use this opportunity to learn how to create and edit basic text files using PowerShell. If you have a standard connection file, then you can
put that file onto remote computers any number of ways. If a .pcf file exists in the proper place when the VPN client is opened, then it likely will not prompt for a new connection.
Update: Added more info; clarified

Cisco VPN client -install error

Hi,
I have a problem when i'm trying to install Cisco VPN client on my Windows 8.1 x64. After downloading 3 or 4 different versions of Cisco it keeps rising the same error concerning a DLL that is required. I'd really appreciate some advice or the reason why
it keeps rising this error.
Greetings,
Cristina

Hi,
I can't find any compatible information with Windows 8 /8.1 about Cisco VPN client:
http://software.cisco.com/download/release.html?mdfid=281940730&catid=268438162&os=Windows&softwareid=282364316&release=5.0.07.0410&rellifecycle=&relind=AVAILABLE&reltype=latest
You can just check these steps, If following steps didn't work for you, please contact Cisco support for further help.
On Windows 8.1, you will need to update the DNE first:

Cisco CA + Cisco VPN Client - Error 42: Unable to create certificate enrolment request

We find ourselves in a difficult situation with the
Cisco VPN Cleint version 5.0.07.0290 where it keeps giving us an
"Error 42: Unable to create certificate enrolment request" when we attempt to use the Online enrolment method to create and enrol a new certificate.
There is no additional information in the VPN client logs where we have set 3-High for all logs.
In addition, Wireshark does not show any packets sent from the machine running the client to the Cisco 3825 router which runs the Cisco CA.
To create and enrol a certificate we do the following:
1. Click on the Enroll button to show the Certificate Enrolment dialog
2. Select Online
3. Select <New> for Certificate Authority
4. Enter http://192.168.120.1 as CA URL (note, 192.168.120.1 is the IP of the Cisco 3825)
5. Click Next to display the dialog where we can enter certificate details
6. Enter details in all fileds except IP Address and Domain
7. Click Enroll which shows a dilaog with the Error 42 ... message in it.
If we attempt to create a request by using the File method, all works fine, that is, the client creates a file with the enrolment request.
The fact that the client does not send any messages to the Cisco CA leads us to belive that we have a pronblem on the clinet machine. However, the client does not write any information in the logs, so it is a bit hard to fix the problem.
We will be grateful for any assistance that you can provide with this issue. I can provide additional configuration information if required for both the client and the Cisco CA. Note that we have not modified any client configuration. Basically, we installed the clinet on a Windows 7 64bit machine and attempted the steps listed above.
Thank you
Emil

FYI, I just came up against this problem and the solution in my instance was to ensure that the Cisco CA Server was configured to automatically grant certificate requests.
Cisco2691#conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Cisco2691(config)#crypto pki server CERTSERVER
Cisco2691(cs-server)#grant ?
auto Automatically grant incoming SCEP enrollment requests
none Automatically reject any incoming SCEP enrollment request
ra-auto Automatically grant RA-authorized incoming SCEP enrollment request
Cisco2691(cs-server)#grant auto
% The CS config is locked. You need to shut the server off before changing its configuration.
Cisco2691(cs-server)#shut

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.
