10.6: Save Cisco IPSec password in the Keychain
Authored by: linuxer on Sep 14, '09 01:58:55AM

This does not work with 10.6.1. I set the password in keychain to allow all applications to access it, but it was still deleted upon connection, and restoring a copy of it did not make the client refer to it later. If this did work in 10.6.0, then maybe I can revert the client.

This is stupid, because Cisco's own client saves my password. The idea that you can enforce client behavior from the server is ludicrous. If your security depends on that, you're in trouble.

I'll get a saved password solution, but I'd rather use the integrated client.

I think Shimo 1.0.7 (the free version) works well enough for Cisco VPN:

but I went with vpnc, which can now be successfully installed on Snow Leopard from Macports. Either way, no retyping required.

One more annoyance worked around.
