MacOS X 10.6 Snow Leopard comes with built-in VPN client. Snow Leopard did break my Cisco VPN client, so learning how to set up the native client makes me very happy. Steps are:
- System Preferences > Network
- Click "+" and pick "VPN" under Interface
- Choose "Cisco IPSec" as VPN Type
- Enter a name of your choosing as Service Name
- Click "Create"
- Server Address - value of Host from your .pcf file
- Account name - your user name
- Password - leave blank and you will be prompted upon establishing a connection
- click Authentication Settings
- Shared Secret - either value of GroupPwd from .pcf file; if blank, take value of enc_GroupPwd and decrypt it at http://www.unix-ag.uni-kl.de/~massar/bin/cisco-decode
- Group Name - value of GroupName from .pcf file
