There's no supported API for managing VPN configurations at this
point. In fact, on 10.4.x there's no API at all (even a private API)
-- Internet Connect just munges these preferences directly )-: We
definitely want to introduce a public API for this, but it's unlikely
to happen soon (that is, not in Leopard).
Unfortunately, that means that if you want to programmatically modify
VPN configurations, your only option is to reverse engineer the
preference files. That's no something we support (either from a DTS
perspective, or in terms of long term binary compatibility).
If you do decide to take this route, don't forget that some critical
VPN configuration data is stored in the keychain.
Sorry I don't have better news.
