Multiple screesavers when cisco vpn is connected

Hi
I am using builtin Cisco VPN to connect corporate network at home. When I connected to VPN, screensaver sometimes (not all times but very often) starts immediately regardless of my screensaver setup (I usually setup 15min after idle. but it's same when I turn off the screensaver).
Worse thing is if I leave my macbook for an hour, there seems to be multiple screensaver running (so fan sound is loud). When I click in screensaver screen (mouse move doesn't work... only click works) it change to another screensaver until all screensaver instances terminates (10 times sometimes). I need to click multiple times when every screensaver shows up.
During writing this article, I had to click twice because screensaver starts during typing...
Today I found that when Cisco VPN is connected this symptom occurs very often. Is there any known problem of Cisco VPN and SL screensaver?

I was running synergy 1.31 and it has problems with screensaver. It stops when I stop synergyc.

Builtin Cisco VPN not connecting - solution (albeit a very crappy one)

So I've been trying for a day to get Snow Leopard to connect to the Cisco VPN concentrator at work (dunno which model).
Today I was able to get a bit more detail by editing /etc/syslog.conf to enable debug logging to system.log and edit /etc/racoon/racoon.conf to uncomment the debug log line (racoon is the Cisco client).
This is the error that surfaced:
ERROR: failed to get subjectAltName
With racoon's debug2 logging on I was able to see the problem when the server's cert was displayed: the Subject Alternative Name field is blank. Now there's no way for me to get this fixed on the server side - I work for a 250,000 person organization and a change like that would take me being an executive and months of bureaucracy to get through. So here's what I did incase anyone else needs this and doesn't mine extreme kludgery:
First I needed to capture the configuration file that was generated at connect time:
sudo su -
while true; do cp /var/run/racoon/*.conf /tmp/; done
Hit connect just after typing this a few times, then ctrl-c in the terminal to stop it
You should hopefully have a file named /tmp/<ip>.conf where ip is the resolved ip address of your vpn server. Copy this file to /etc/racoon/ and edit it.
Change "verify_cert on" to "verify_cert off" and comment out the next line ("certificate_verification") with a #
Finally, edit /etc/racoon/racoon.conf. At the end, comment out the line 'include "/var/run/racoon/*.conf" ;' and add the line 'include "/etc/racoon/<yourfile>" ;'
This solution totally blows cause any configuration change requires a repeat of the procedure and also prevents you from having multiple VPNs configured without doing this for each of them. Suggestions welcome.

Hi
Could it be that your VPN assigned network of /16 overlaps with your host route? Are you able to change the mask on your split tunnel network to /24 or are you using the whole /16 subnet?

IOS VPN will not respond to Cisco VPN Client connections.

Hi all,
I am about to set my routers on fire here.
I have two 2921 ISRs both with Security licenses on separate leased lines. I have configured one to accept VPN connections from our Cisco VPN Client remote workers.
I have followed the set up process I used on another site with an 1841/Sec router and the same clients and I have also checked against the config given in the latest IOS15 EasyVPN guide.
With all debugs active, all I see is

Which ports to open in PIX for outgoing Cisco VPN client connections ?

I have Cisco vpn clients behind the PIX and i want them to connect to a vpn 3005 which i behind another PIX . Can anybody tell me which ports i have to open on both the PIX firewalls ?

It depends on how you have deployed your VPN Remote Access users.
By default, if you enable IPSec-Over-TCP or IPSec-over-UDP, then port 10000 is used for both, these methods are Cisco Proprietary and can be changed.
If you use NAT-T (NAT Traversal), the Standards-based implementation, then it uses UDP-4500).
either way, the operation of the VPN depends on:
1) Whether these service have been enable on the VPN Concentrator
2) Enabling the relevant transport settings on the VPN Client connection Properties.
Regarding the PIX infront of the VPNC3005, you will need to allow these above ports inbound to your VPNC3005 Public interface.
Locally, it depends if you filter outbound connections through your PIX. If you don't, then the PIX will allow the connection for the VPN Client attempting to access the remote VPNC3005

Cisco VPN Client connects, but doesn't....

Have an issue where the workstation connects to the remote router using Cisco VPN Client successfully, but cannot receive traffic, but can...... I can see the connection with sh cry isa sa, and can see the packets encrypt/decrypt via sh cry ipse sa, as well as see the encrypt/decrypt in the VPN Client status, these numbers match up with the number of pings that are sent across the tunne. I can also see the ougoing and incoming packets with wireshark on the Cisco adapter on the workstation that is connected over the tunnel, icmp to:x.x.x.37 from:x.x.x.100, icmp from:x.x.x.100 to:x.x.x.37. Even with wireshark seeing the traffic, the requests time out. Any ideas?

Matthew,
If you are seeing packets encrypted/decrypted on both sites, but not getting an actual response, it sounds like tough one.
Have you tried disabling the client's firewall?
Also, you to discard a possible problem with the VPN virtual adapter have you tried to uninstall/reinstall the VPN Client?
Sorry, the suggetions I'm giving you are very basic but it definetely sounds kind of a weird problem...
Let me know how it goes.

Cisco VPN Client - Connects but no shares

My Windows IT folks configured Cisco VPN Client 4.9.0.1 (0100) on both the XP and Mac side of my MacBook Pro.
Authentication works fine from both sides but none of the shared drives or folders mount on the Mac side. They do mount via Windows Explorer from the XP side. The configurations are exactly the same.
From the Mac side using Terminal I am able to ping the various shared drives on the company server. How can I get them to mount.

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.....
Edited by: mheath on Dec 7, 2009 2:41 PM

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...

Cisco VPN no longer working after firmware update

I have been using the Cisco VPN network connection to access work; after the recent update, both my Macs stopped working -- no changes have been made.
Is this a known bug? I looked at the settings, verified everything with no luck.
Thanks.

See http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12800407&tstart=0. If you want to report this issue to Apple's engineering, send a bug report or an enhancement request via its Bug Reporter system. To do this, join the Mac Developer Program—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report or enhancement request. The nice thing with this procedure is that you get a response and a follow-up number; thus, starting a dialog with engineering.

IPad cannot 'see' ATV2 when using VPN

I have a private local network with a number of machines on it (mostly Mac) managed by a Mac Mini Server. This network is secured and has no internet connection. Within this network is an Apple TV2 which is used to show media on a large video wall. Up until recently (before security requirement) it was also used to mirror iPad displays and run Keynote presentations. This was all working fine up until I was forced to rebuild and secure the network.
So I rebuilt the network. A security device manages the wireless access point on the outside and access to the inside network from devices connected to the wireless access point is via IPSec VPN (authentication managed by RADIUS server on Mac Mini). There is no internet connectivity anywhere near this network.
This is all working fine. iPads can access the wireless access point and when the VPN is connected they can access the web server on the inside and other various apps on the iPads can access network shares or screen shares. The problems start when setting up the ATV2 config.
First, to allow external devices to access the ATV2 or for a central library to be accessible Home Sharing needs to be active. Guess what, Home Sharing can only be activated by authenticating against the Apple servers which requires an internet connection. After jumping through several convoluted hoops to get home sharing activated on the ATV2, and separately on the iPads and Mac Mini Server I am now trying to get the Remote app, AirPlay and Display Mirroring to work. No luck.
With the iPad connected to the network via VPN it can still access all of the web services, the network tool app that I have can even ping the ATV2 and I can show videos via AirPlay from iTunes on the Mac Mini Server but for the life of me I cannot get the Remote app, Air Play or display mirroring on the iPad to recognise that there is an ATV2 on the network.
In frustration I switched the wireless access point to the other side of the security device (don't tell IT dept) and reconnected the iPad to the network, this time without the requirement for VPN. Lo and behold the ATV2 appeared immediately in the remote app and it was available for AirPlay and display mirroring. Switching the AP back to the outside and going in again with the VPN and the iPad is blind again to the ATV2.
Any clues as to what is breaking? I suspect that the Bonjour service is not passing through the VPN. This is the only explanation I can think of.
Any suggestions on how to get this working would be great. Otherwise I am going to have to rethink how I use the iPads and ATV together. The constraint I have is that the connection between the iPads and the internal network MUST be secure.

Yes, Bonjour is needed for AirPlay.
As its multicast, typically VPN's don't allow the broadcast msg to spread as it would produce too much noise to the end devices.

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?

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..

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.

Internet stopped working when connected to Cisco VPN

Hi,
I have configured IPSec (Ikev1) Remote access VPN in ASA 5520, VPN is connecting properly and i am able to access all internal resources but Internet is not working when connected to VPN. I have investigated on this and found problem with the default gateway, i am getting ddefault gateway duringVPN connection. I am surprised in ASA there is no default gateway configured for remote VPN IP pool then how remote clients can get default gateway.
I am describing my problem in below given image Please help me to shootout it.
Thanks in advanve.

Hi,
The top configurations is specified to Tunnel All traffic as you can see from the "split-tunnel-policy tunneall". In this case the Split Tunnel ACL is ignored to my understanding.
The bottom configuration is specified to use Split Tunnel but I cant see the ACL specified there.
To my understanding you should be seeing routes on your actual computers routing table for the networks that are reached through the VPN.
On a Windows machine you can open the command prompt and issue the command "route print" to view the routes
Here is an example when I am connected to one Split Tunnel VPN (click to enlarge)
To my understanding there is no default gateway in the virtual VPN interface configurations as the host forward all the traffic that needs to be tunneled to the actual virtual interface and from there on in it heads through the VPN Connection.
Here is an example what the VPN Client Statistics/Route Details tells me
Both Internet and the remote network/host behind the VPN connection can be reached.
What does the above window show for you in your VPN Client when active?

Connect sequence with Cisco VPN & BT FON

I have an issue with the connection sequence using Cisco VPN & BT Openzone/FON
I cannot connect the VPN until I have logged in to BT FON/Openzone
This would be ok, but I use a tabbed browser & it is trying to connect all tabs at once over an unsecured link. Also, when (not if) the connection drops I am in the same position.
It should be possible to connect the VPN first, then the browser
Thanks in advance,
Alan
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The VPN client connection cannot be established without a path to BT Openzone, which hosts the VPN server.
That`s just the way VPNs work, you have a server and a client.

Mail won't work when VPN is connected

I use VPN to blog for a newspaper, from home. I don't access the company's internal mail system--I just use VPN to get through security and use wordpress on the in-house servers.
But when I connect with VPN, mail stops working (for gmail, verizon.net, hotmail). I otherwise have full access to the internet; I can get gmail through the web, for example. But since I use Mail extensively, I'd like to be able to have it and VPN active at the same time.
My current workaround is just to use VPN for posting, then I get out. But this is a big hassle. Is there a mail setting that I can change that will let it work while (Cisco) VPN is active?
(I'm a freelancer using my own iMac, so I get no tech support from work.)

Any chance that you have "Send all traffic over VPN connection" enabled ?
I use the OSX internal VPN to connect to my Office PC and can use Mail while VPN-connected.
