Shawn,

The built-in Mac OS X VPN client *does not* support all Cisco enterprise VPN concentrators.

However, the iPhone VPN client does: <http://www.apple.com/iphone/enterprise/integration.html > ...if only the iPhone Cisco IPsec VPN support would get rolled into Mac OS X's VPN client, we would be VERY happy.

Indeed, the iPhone VPN client works fine with our Cisco VPN concentrator (both in production and a new system being tested), while the Mac OS X VPN client does not.

Andy et. al.,

What are the issues preventing folks using the VPN services built-in to Mac OS X ?

The one biggest obstacle for Federal folks using the Cisco Client is that it does not make use of Mac OS X's Security Framework and hence has no Smart Card support. This would seem to be a big blocker for many, unless you all are still not using your Smart Cards for these services.
Yes, here @ U.S. Senate is currently using VPN Client v4.9.01 (0800) for Mac.

Are you actually running 4.9.01 (0800) or (0080)? The latest I found was (0100). I've seen Automator applications that combine this command line with the prompt for an admin logon and password. It still would be nice if Cisco would fix the problem, since this one is theirs.
