Hi Guys,
I need to connect to different sites using Cisco VPN Client
All sites have different VPN settings: some require certificate authentication, some require group authentication, other use shared secret.
Cisco VPN client for mac os x yosemite: The best for the majority of people 2020 Using a Cisco VPN client for mac os x yosemite is. L2TP/IPsec (Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol with cyberspace Protocol Security): L2TP is not secure itself, so it's generally paired with the IPsec secure-networking standard.
When I use Cisco's VPN Client 5.0.x for Windows I have no problem with access to all sites
Since I'm setting up Mac Built-In Cisco VPN client (for instance similar to wiki.mcs.anl.gov) I get troubles with some sites.
As the Cisco VPN client is not compatible with Yosemite, I have attempted to get the integral Mac OS X VPN client functioning in Yosemite. However it fails to establish a VPN connection. Yosemite 10.10 & Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client version 3.1.07021 System Prompt whenever AnyConnect launches to connect to vpn: 'OS X wants to make changes. Type an administrator's name and password to allow this.
After I press 'Connect' button the system.log shows following:
Feb 16 17:53:29 Rassvet.local nesessionmanager[669]: NESMLegacySession[Site A:0F5602C4-A084-4D55-9D43-7D72EC9507D6]: Received a start command from com.apple.prefe[483]

This is what I got for site with client certificate and user+password authentication
Running latest OS X Yosemite:
# uname -a
Darwin Rassvet.local 14.1.0 Darwin Kernel Version 14.1.0: Mon Dec 22 23:10:38 PST 2014; root:xnu-2782.10.72~2/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64
Would appreciate for any help or suggestions.
Thank you,
