My company uses an obfuscated method of connecting to their VPN
servers which requires telnetting to the firewall using SecureID
authentication and establishing a PPTP connection after that. I am
able to connect manually from my Mac (using telnet and Internet
Connect) but I would like to automate this by writing a custom dialer.
Would it be possible to use the SystemConfiguration Framework or
MoreSCF to accomplish this? I was thinking about creating the telnet
session using NSTask and an expect script but I am not sure if I can
establish a PPTP session using MoreSCF. I would also want to do
"split routing" between my VPN session and the rest. Would this also
be possible using the SystemConfiguration Framework?
I have managed to do all this by hacking together a bunch of scripts
but I would like to do this in a more elegant way if possible.
Since I have not received any responses to this I am assuming
SystemConfiguration Framework is not the way to go to create VPN
connections?
Btw, is the source for Internet Connect application available? I
wonder how it is written.
Thanks,
