Hi,
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.
Thanks for any suggestions.
S.r.
