David, Before going further: You might also want to verify from your "Firewall Administrator (usually Senior Systems Engineer managing Microsoft AD)" that you can get authenticated without a "domain" authentication.  Some Cisco systems do an ICA Server/AD authentication and require a bit more than just the VPN connection, which will be a consideration using kvpnc...  Rarely, they can tell you exactly what changes you might need under Linux-> AD. CAUTION:  "They" often don't exactly know; you might get incredible misinformation; you might step on the ego toes of ignorance (temper Nix arrogance and irritated critical thought in all matters with "THEM" at all times for best professional and social results)! Once that is determined to be easily possible using just the cert and connection string try adding: kvpnc connect --domain $yourcert If not successful go ahead and follow the instructions for Cisco Ubuntu here: http://www.longren.org/2007/05/17/how-to-cisco-vpn-client-on-ubuntu-704-feisty-fawn/ Reference:  http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/vpn_client/cisco_vpn_client/vpn_client46/linux_solaris/user/guide/vcugls1.pdf (503)754-4452 Blackberry || www.obnosis.com via USB PPP EDVO/CDMA on Dell Latitude PII - Kubuntu 7.10 --- On Tue, 7/1/08, David Huerta wrote: From: David Huerta Subject: Re: Cisco VPN Client for Linux To: "Main PLUG discussion list" Date: Tuesday, July 1, 2008, 11:52 PM On Tue, Jul 1, 2008 at 10:35 PM, Charles Jones wrote: > I am not able to find the publicly accessible download link, but I can > grab it from the internal site and put it somewhere if you need. > I'm installing vpnc now, which is supposedly a cisco-compatible VPN client, and a Free one at that. I'm going to give it a try and if failing that I'll let you know if I still need the official Cisco client. -- david [.dh] huerta delugphx.org --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
