]]> Comment on How To Setup an IPSec VPN Connection On Mac OS X 10.5 by demetk http://missionitgroup.com/blog/?p=1703&cpage=1#comment-54 demetk Thu, 10 Dec 2009 10:39:32 +0000 http://missionitgroup.com/blog/?p=1703#comment-54 Hi, Thank you for the suggestions. I have already did those adjustments (updates, repair permissions etc.) But the settings didn't stick. Then just by chance, I have tried the default configuration instead of adding a new configuration. And the settings stayed there! But the overall result didn't change. I still can't connect to the vpn. Weird enough, when I use Parallels Desktop with vpn client, I can connect easily on my macbook pro. But MacOSX just can't connect. I couldn't understand what the problem is. Thank you for your help, demet Hi,

But I am having a problem and hours of searching didn't solve it yet. My company is using Contivity IPsec VPN but they do not support macs. The IT gave me the connection info for windows and I tried to set it up in Mac as it is shown above. But whenever I click apply after filling in the Authentication Settings, the whole form resets itself (password and shared secret disappear). I couldn't get them stay in there. Therefore I am getting this "The IPsec shared secret is missing" error. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks a lot Hi,

For graphical sub-folders, it should be: ls -R | grep ":$" | sed -e 's/:$//' -e 's/[^-][^\/]*\//–/g' -e 's/^/ /' -e 's/-/|/' Slight typo I think in some of your terminal commands…
