VPN Type question, which VPN? - maemo.org

noobmonkey | # 1 | 2010-01-11, 10:33 | Report

Hi everyone, very noobish question, but i'm trying to see if i can connect to a vpn at work (Cutting a long story short i have permission, but can'not ask the techy who runs it!)

I know it's a cisco VPN Setup - and we use tho'se annoying tokens that generate random numbers.

(Got the web vpn working on my phone - but trying the full connection)

I have the config file currently used - have posted all of the fields in it below (Without details)
Which VPN Software on the N900 should i use? (OpenVPN,OpenConnect etc?)

Code:

Description=
Host=
AuthType=
GroupName=
GroupPwd=
enc_GroupPwd=
ISPConnectType=0
ISPConnect=KSS
ISPPhonebook=
ISPCommand=
Username=
SaveUserPassword=0
UserPassword=
enc_UserPassword=
NTDomain=
EnableBackup=1
BackupServer=
EnableMSLogon=1
MSLogonType=0
EnableNat=1
TunnelingMode=0
TcpTunnelingPort=10000
CertStore=0
CertName=
CertPath=
CertSubjectName=
CertSerialHash=00000000000000000000000000000000
SendCertChain=0
PeerTimeout=90
EnableLocalLAN=0

(Don't think i've left anything confidential in there!)

I use vpnc but the vpn-gui isn't working for me. It accept only numbers in the passwordfield.

So I start vpn from rootshell.

By looking at your config file, I suggest vpnc. It looks like the old config file for Cisco 3000 concentrators.

we have the same and use a token to generate the random numbers. I use vpnc and it works pretty well.... just the basic config worked and didnt require much of a work...

I'm trying this config too (vpnc + vpnc-gui + RSA Token), but where do you enter the token?

Thanks,
