Just had a UNIX crash (kernel panic) on my Mac. 1-adam-5, see the perp below…

This means that IT departments that are heavily biased towards Microsoft anything (and turn off other standards bases login encryption methods) cause the built in client to fail at login. The symptom is the Mac VPN client insisting it has a bad password even though it is entered correctly.
+27
The environments we support probably have a VPN set up differently since we're able to connect without any issues, but I'm sure if a change is made on the server side we may find ourselves in the same boat. :)

Biggest concern is that the Cisco software could either by nefarious operation or by corporate security be potentially sucking files off the system where it is running. If someone modified the Cisco client they could essentially backdoor a Mac.
Just thinking about it, Cisco has created a huge security problem by not providing the client free and clear so the source was assured to be secure and as safe as your IT security department is… Right now people download from unknown sources, including torrents.
You (Filipp) have a history of posting in MacUpdate, been a member since 2006 thus some street cred. So you are the safest source where this can be obtained with any reasonable ease… But what about the poor sap who gets a "loaded" copy from some bit torrent and opens his whole network up to a foreign hostile super-power :-) seriously though, shame on Cisco!

The only "good" thing about it that someone wrote Shimo to control it.

Still has the coyote ugly windows 95 interface
Still requires that coyote ugly app to run the whole time the VPN connection is open
Still is hard coded to work with only specific network interfaces (bad practice design)
- cannot see a tethered iPhone on USB or BlueTooth
Still have to have a ruddy Cisco leet membership to download a "Free" client
- (thanks to whomever posted, hats off to you Sir!)
At least there is still Shimo...

EnableMSLogon=1
MSLogonType=0
(settings our corporate .pcf files)
are set in the Apple VPN. It is not exposed in the interface so we are relegated to hacking conf files. Here is where the hints are. You must be quick to capture the file that is indicated here but the technique works:
http://patternbuffer.wordpress.com/2009/10/01/customizing-the-cisco-or-ipsec-vpn-client-in-snow-leopard/
I have tested it against a VPN connection that does not require the MS login style, worked great. Unfortunately not useful here. Need the common gateway and that requires the MS login business.

I'm using the latest: 4.9.01.0180 and 10.6.6
Anyone know of a fix to make this work?
Latest problem being that I can't for the life of me get this to install and run properly on a brand new Mac Pro. I've done everything short of reformatting the drive and starting clean. I am running 10.6.5 on a 6-core mac pro. Pretty much a fresh system other than your normal productivity apps. I have been fighting with this app for years, and have tried all the workarounds I know of that usually fix it, but this one just will not fix. Sounds like the kext isn't loading at all anymore.

In plain english, if the Cisco VPN is used and your TimeMachine backup starts to your TimeCapsule (across the network), you will likely experience a KP in the near future.
if the Cisco VPN is used and you open up the Apple AirPort utility and access your Airport settings (transfer data across IPv6) you will eventually experience a KP (sleep and unsleep your Mac a couple of times usually does it)
If you turn IPv6 off the problems go away... And so do a number of capabilities of your system. Not really an option. So I put my TimeMachine backups on manual and if I am not diligent, will lose data some day thank you Cisco.
So where is MSLogon as a setting for the Apple 'ciscoish' client in the system and on iOS?!? It will be the coup de grace for Cisco VPNClient.

This file can be found on the torrents but does raise the question, can it be trusted?
The problem is that since Cisco does not provide this software freely and IT shops are typically Mac-ignorant or Mac-hostile in the enterprise, users are relegated to creating security issues by going after these downloads from unknown and untrusted sources. Cisco actually creates the security problem with their approach to software distribution.
Ironically, the software is awful (poor interface, poor performance, buggy and causes kernel panics) and not something that anyone would want short of needing to connect to proprietary Cisco VPN concentrators (servers).
