10.6: Save Cisco IPSec password in the Keychain
Authored by: fold on Sep 06, '09 05:53:38PM

This isn't Apple's fault. The Cisco VPN Concentrator, PIX, or ASA to which you are connecting is probably configured to disable password saving. If the client software is designed to Cisco specs, nothing you do will enable it to save your password if the VPN server prohibits it.

The Cisco IPSec client in iPhone OS 2 was broken in such a way that it would save the password. This was fixed in iPhone OS 3, and the same fix seems to incorporated in the Mac OS 10.6 IPSec client.

Sorry to disappoint, but after all the whole point of VPN is private network security.

10.6: Save Cisco IPSec password in the Keychain

Just to let you know, Shimo will apparently ignore the server's request to always prompt the user for a password and use the password stored in the keychain. I guess this is technically a "bug" although I'm sure most Shimo users want to keep it that way.
