IPhone 2.1 now supports Cisco VPN Client to IOS router

Just tested it. The Cisco VPN Client in iPhone 2.1 now connects to my IOS router. Excellent.

I have a Cisco 1812 with 12.4(20)T. I know that 12.4(6)T and some other versions have an issue with the negotiation of IPSec policies which basically means that only the first proposal is considered. If the first proposal matches you have a connection. If it does not match, the connection is refused even though other proposals would be O.K.
The relevant isakmp/ipsec config should be:
crypto isakmp policy 3
encr 3des
authentication pre-share
group 2
crypto isakmp client configuration group myvpn
key mysecretkey
dns 10.0.0.2 10.0.0.3
wins 10.0.0.2
domain mydomain.example.com
pool ippool
acl 150
split-dns mydomain.example.com
netmask 255.255.255.0
crypto isakmp profile ike-myvpn-profile
match identity group myvpn
client authentication list userauthen
isakmp authorization list groupauthor
client configuration address respond
virtual-template 2
crypto ipsec transform-set ESP-3DES-SHA esp-3des esp-sha-hmac
crypto ipsec profile myvpn
set transform-set ESP-3DES-SHA
set isakmp-profile ike-myvpn-profile
interface Virtual-Template2 type tunnel
ip unnumbered FastEthernet1
ip nat inside
ip virtual-reassembly
tunnel mode ipsec ipv4
tunnel protection ipsec profile myvpn
See also http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/security/configuration/guide/secipsec_virt_tunnl_ps6441_TSD_Products_Configuration_GuideChapter.html
If you have IOS 12.4(6)T or similar which has the bug I have mentioned you have to use aes instead of 3des for the transform set. The first proposal of the iPhone is aes. Be sure to check the "debug crypto ipsec" and "debug crypto isakmp" output for troubleshooting.

AnyConnect VPN Client on IOS Router

Hi Guys, I configured AnyConnect SSL VPN on Cisco 2811 router. It works perfectly when I login via web and run secure mobility client. However, when I connect directly from the mobility client connection fails. It does not even ask me for username and password.

Tunneling using Cisco VPN Client 4.9

Hello,
in recent times I used the Cisco VPN Client 4.7 with no problems:
1. I installed the software
2. I started "Internet Connect.app", created a VPN connection (PPTP) with no entries
3. created a new network connection ("Tunnel to company"), with ETH and VPN (PPTP) enabled
4. the ethernet interface points at the local router wich is connected to my ISP
5. DHCP-Client-ID: our.company.de, DNS-Server: no entry, Domain-Names: our.company.de
6. Proxies: our companies proxies
7. the VPN (PPTP) interface is configuered as PPP, DNS-Server: our companies server IPs, Domain-Names: no entries, Proxy: no entries
8. Starting the Cisco VPN Client I configuered an new session, connected, ok
As said, this was in the old days.
Now using Cisco VPN Client 4.9 on a MacBookPro (Intel) this works also with one exception:
I can establish a network connection (ping, smb, AFP, intranet/HTTP) only using the companies fully qualified domain name, e.g.:
1. ping server1: unable to resolve name
2. ping server1.our.company.de: works as exspected
I am using Cisco VPN Client 4.9.00 (0050), Mac OS X 4.8 with all available updates.
Any help would be appreciated

...
trying the same (without the "Internet Config.app" / VPN PPTP) using VPN Tracker works fine. But I don´t want to spend Euro 79.-...

IPhone OS 3.0 - internet tethering and Cisco VPN Client

Hello,
The latest OS for the iPhone allows users to tether their iPhone to a Mac/PC so that the user can browse the internet through the carriers mobile 3G network.
I can confirm that internet tethering works on my Macbook Pro, but the following error is displayed when i load the CiscoVPN Client (version 4.9.01 (0100))
"Error 51: Unable to communicate with the VPN subsystem.
Please make sure that you have at least one network interface that is cuurently active and has an ip address and start this application again."
Does this mean that the Cisco VPN client cannot see the internet connection supplied by the iPhone even though i can browse the internet while this error is being displayed??
Regards,
Eddie S

Same problem here and I'm wondering the same. I also noticed that the same error comes also when my ethernet connection and iPhone tethering are active at the same time. Then there really should be a connection.
Despite that, I have the same problem and using bluetooth tethering doesn't solve this. Still the same error even though Internet connection works otherwise fine.
Any suggestions? Have Cisco tested this?
I'm using MacBook Pro 13" OS X 10.5.8, iPhone 3GS 3.0.1 with official finnish carrier Sonera, Cisco Systems VPN Client 4.9.01 (0100)

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.

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.

Hope that helps.

Mac Pro kernel Panic with Cisco VPN Client

After Having to rebuild my new Mac Pro 3 times I finally found that it was the Cisco VPN Client that was released for Intel in Feb. of this year that does not play nice with the new machines. Don't install or if it's too late boot into Safe Boot mode by holding your shift key during startup and then follow the instructions at the link below.
http://itinfo.mit.edu/answer.php?id=8171

Just a heads-up;
the new Cisco VPN Client has now been released and fixes this issue.
The version 4.9.01.0030 specifically resolves the following bugs:

Failed to install Cisco VPN client 5.0.07.0440 on win 7 64bit [Error 1722]

Hi Gurus,when I tried to install Cisco VPN Client 5.0.07.0440 on Win 7 64bit, the system would pop up an Error 1722( Error 1722. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor.) at the last stage of copying files. Then it would roll back .
I had tried to clean the temp files, restart windows installer services, and also re-register the MSIEXEC file. However, it would still pop up the error during the installation. For our company, it is a common issue. So, could you please offer me some advice on this?

Thank you for your reply.
I had checked the software again and found out.
1. The MSI installer package is fine, because I can install the software on another PC.
2. It is not like that, because I can start the installation procedure and run it smoothly until on the 88% of copying files.
For now, I had only found this issue on one PC.
Thanks.

Resources for migration from legacy Cisco VPN client to AnyConnect?

As the legacy client is now officially EOL'd, and it is having issues with Windows 7 - the need has presented itself to migrate to AnyConnect.
The complicating issue here is that many of the machines that need to be migrated connect remotely and never touch a corporate LAN - as such - I need to devise a means to remotely and seamlessly (as much as possible) migrate from old to new. Sounds a bit like changing the wings on a flying plane, but I'm guessing others have had to face the same issue. By procrastinating this migration - my hope is that your blood spilled will be mine saved? (Just kidding. Sorta).
Any tips, input, suggestion, procedures, FAQs, good luck wishes, etc. greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
JP

Hi Andy
Anyconnect licensing is a little complicated, but 99% of the time you only need the "Essentials" AnyConnect license for your ASAs. This gives you everything that you have using the old Cisco VPN Client.
Essentials is licensed per ASA, and not per user like the other ASA AnyConnect licenses.
AnyConnect Premium gives you all that Essentials give you plus "clientless" VPN (Web portal type stuff).
Configuration wize - it's pretty simple and similar to how you configure the old VPN support. There's a wizard to assist you in configuring it if you like that kind of thing.

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 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.

Cisco VPN client and License

Hello,
We have a Cisco ASA 5520 with the VPN PLus License and 8.04 IOS installed, we want to set up vpn access to our users. We can use the cisco VPN client which works on WIndows Platform, but we also have MAC OS 10.7 which works only with Cisco Anyconnect.
I am a little bit lost with all the client and the license, actually we can't setup more than 2 vpn session with an Anyconnect client installed on MAC or Windows. The authentication is by Certificate, the first two connect fine, but the third one don't connect and prompt for a username / password.
I joined a SH VER of my ASA, if anyome can tell me what is wrong on the license or perhaps it's a configuration problem?
Thanks a lot for the answer.

why don't you use built-in client in mac osx? it supports certificate authentication also.
another solution would be to buy additional ssl vpn licences: there is a limit of two ssl vpn sessions by default.

Cisco VPN Client and Quick VPN interaction?

I have both a Cisco VPN client for connecting to my company LAN and a QuickVPN client for connecting to my home LAN installed on my W2K laptop. Both start and run correctly, and both connect just as they should. My home LAN uses a WRV54G router to provide VPN connection. I can alternate back and forth between the two clients and connect to each LAN with no obvious issues, but not at the same time, of course.
Here's the question. When I connect to the home LAN, I can log on with no problem and I can remotely administer the WRV54G with no problem. I can ping all of the wired and wireless W2K computers on my home LAN with no problem. However, I cannot "see", browse or map any of the shared resources on my home LAN. I have created user accounts on the home LAN computers for my laptop and router logins and I have given these accounts permissions to my shared resources, but I still cannot get to them. Linksys tech support has been absolutely no help whatsoever, even after repeated attempts.
While trying to troubleshoot this myself, I've noticed that when the Cisco VPN client is running and I'm connected to my company LAN, the IP address and subnet of my computer is changed to ones assigned by the DHCP server at my company. This seems to happen because the Cisco client activates the "Local Area Connection Number 2" on my laptop and assigns IP addresses using it. However, when I'm using the QuickVPN client to connect to my home, the IP address and subnet of my laptop continues to be those assigned by whatever local network I'm connected to (e.g. hotel, etc).
I'm wondering if the QuickVPN is supposed to be assigning an IP address and subnet to my laptop from the WRV54G's DHCP server when I connect to my home LAN. If so, could the Cisco VPN client installed on my laptop be preventing that from happening?
Sorry for the long post, but I'm at my wit's end on this one and Linksys is just no help at all.

1. The Cisco VPN client creates a virtual interface on your computer. This allows you to route traffic to the tunnel. The QuickVPN client is simpler. It only encrypts the traffic to the other end. It does not use a virtual interface. That's why you don't have another IP address when connected with QuickVPN. QuickVPN only encrypts IP packets with IPSec from your computer to 192.168.1.* (or whatever you may use on your WRV LAN) and sends them to the WRV's public IP address.
2. Microsoft Windows file sharing and LAN network browsing depends on network broadcasts. Those only work inside a LAN. If you connect from the outside to a LAN, broadcasts won't go through the VPN tunnel. This means you cannot use standard name windows workgroup name resolution to access shares. Those are propagated with broadcasts which will never go through the VPN tunnel. This means you are not able to use workgroup browsing. All you can to do access your shares is to use the IP address of the other computer.
In short:

(assuming the general sharing setup is O.K., i.e. you can use sharing correctly inside your LAN).
Of course, firewalls on the server end may cause problems. Access comes in from a public IP address. This may be blocked. Check the firewall logs on the server to find out if this is the case or not.
Moreover, establishing the VPN connection from a private LAN to a private LAN may not work. This is due to the double network address translation which breaks IPSec and thus the connection. If the hotel uses private IP addresses, this may be the case. But in that case you won't get ping responses from your WRV LAN.
What definitively won't work is in case when the hotel uses the same IP address subnet as you. If the hotel uses 192.168.1.* addresses and your WRV uses 192.168.1.* addresses you cannot connect. QuickVPN does only IPSec tunneling. There is no address translation in QuickVPN. Therefore connecting the identical private IP address subnet through QuickVPN will never work because all addresses exists twice, once on either side.
