Cisco Vpn Client For Mac Os



Many organizations provide VPN access for the end-user in their company with a third-party tool named Cisco VPN client. This doesn’t work on any 64-bit Mac OS.

The above path is incorrect here are the correct instructions from Cisco’s web site; The VPN Client uninstall script uninstalls any previous command-line or GUI version of the VPN Client from your workstation. To uninstall the VPN Client for Mac OS X. Step 1 Open a terminal window. Step 2 Run the following command: sudo /usr/local/bin/vpn. As an alternative to downloading the Cisco VPN client for Mac OS X, you can also use the built in IPSec version found on your machine. This might be more convenient for those who wish to avoid installing additional software. You will need an ANL Domain Account in order to access the VPN. Head over to your System Preferences and to the.

However, from Mac OS X 10.6, you can use the in-built feature named IPSec VPN ,so you don’t need to look around for any third-party tool. In this case, you might have to decode your .pcf file which contains all the configuration of your VPN setting.

Here’s the step by step guide for configuring it:

  1. Open System Preferences -> Network
  2. Click “+” to get more options where you have to select Interface “VPN” and VPN Type “Cisco IPSec“. Hereby give your proper description in “Service Name” and click Create

Once you create this, the main work out is to decode the “enc_GroupPwd” which you can’t simply copy and paste.

  1. Simply, open .pcf file that you got from your organization in any editor (e.g.: Notepad ++ ), and copy hostname and put it in your server address.
  2. Click Authentication Settings, and mention GroupName as per your PCF file. Now you will see enc_GroupPwd in your PCF file which you need to decode and put it in Shared Secret

There are many ways of getting a clear group password. However, I recommend using this link to decode it. Once you manage to set up all the required settings, you can simply press connect.

I know I'm coming across this months later, but maybe I can shed some light for other users experiencing this same problem:

I used AppZapper to remove a copy of Cisco VPN I had installed on my system and ended up having the exact same issue as Glenn when trying to reinstall. What I did was this:

Client


  • Open Terminal and do the following:
    • su (be careful when giving yourself root, of course)
    • cd /opt/cisco/anyconnect/bin
    • ls (to see if there's a vpn_uninstall.sh file)
  • If there is, then run the following command:

    sh vpn_uninstall.sh

  • You'll get this confirmation message in the Terminal:

    Successfully removed Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client from the system.

Now go back to your .dmg or vpn.pkg file (whatever your source for installing is). Now when you get to the Destination part, you should get no error and you can proceed with the installation.
