Product Description:

Simple to deploy and operate, the Cisco VPN Client enables customers to establish secure, end-to-end encrypted tunnels to Cisco remote access VPN devices supporting the Unified Client Framework. This thin design, IPSec implementation is available via Cisco.com for use with any Cisco central site remote access VPN product and is included free of charge with the Cisco VPN 3000 Concentrator. The client can be pre-configured for mass deployments and initial logins require very little user intervention. VPN access policies and configurations are downloaded from the central gateway and pushed to the client when a connection is established, allowing simple deployment and management as well as high scalability. The Cisco VPN Client provides support for Windows 95, 98, ME, NT 4.0, 2000, XP, Mac OS X, Linux Intel and Solaris UltraSparc.

Cisco VPN Client CommentaryI spent more than 30 minutes trying to download, give up - Version: 4.9.01.0180, 12/3/2009 02:09PM PST

I don't know why the file is listed here. You can't really download it unless you have a contract with Cisco. I went through all the rigamarole of creating an account on their website, navigating their horrible interface, and endless pages of EULAs, only to find out that I still couldn't download it.

Typical of what happens when a company gets too big - nobody pays attention to the details that are crippling to the rest of us.

Cisco VPN Client CommentaryBetter to Use Native Apple VPN Access - Version: 4.9.01.0180, 11/21/2009 07:51AM PST

Once I upgraded to Snow Leopard, (v. 10.6), I stopped using the Cisco VPN client in favor of the native MacOS VPN access. They added the IPSec configuration that I needed to connect, so no more Cisco client needed. If you have Snow Leopard, here are the basic instructions for added it:

Open System Preferences
Click Network
Click ”+” at bottom of window to ADD a network setting
Select VPN, Cisco IPSEC

Enter the following values:

Server Address: (your.vpnserver.com)
Account Name: (your login initials)
Password: (blank)

Click “Authentication Settings” button, then enter,

Shared Secret: (your VPN password)
Group Name: (your group name)

Click “OK”
Check “Show VPN status in menu bar”
Click “Apply”

That is it. To connect, pull down the menu bar icon, and select “Connect Cisco VPN”

Cisco VPN Client CommentaryCisco Web Site Sucks - Version: 4.9.01.0180, 9/24/2009 01:32AM PST

Maybe the folks at Cisco have never had to actually use their web site. I've never been able to find anything on their website by navigating it; I always have to turn to Google to find a direct link. And I finally found the download area for the Cisco VPN Client for OS X and it requires some service level agreement. Their web site sucks.
