VPN on Solaris

jessecarroll · ‎02-16-2002

I've been attempting to get the VPN client for Solais 8 (version 3.5, Relase K9) to work. I'm using Solaris 8 10/01 and the lastest PPP (version 4). I can establish the connection to my ISP. I've setup the config files according to the documenation. When I start the VPN client I get:

$ vpnclient connect user nocertpwd

Cisco Systems VPN Client Version 3.5 (Rel)

Client Type(s): Solaris

Running on: SunOS 5.8 Generic_108528-09 sun4u

Enter a group password:

Initializing the IPSec link.

Contacting the security gateway at 216.40.48.37

Authenticating user.

User Authentication for user...

Enter Username and Password.

Username [user]:

Password []:

Contacting the security gateway at aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd

Negotiating security policies.

Securing communication channel.

Remote peer terminated connection.

Any ideas on what may be happening?

You need to set the client session logging on level 3, and view the vpnsession.log file. Also you probably need to setup the event classes on the concentrator for the following events:

auth

authdbg

ike

ikedbg

ipsec

ipsecdbg

log 1-9 clear the current logs, then attempt the connections, and by comparing the two logs, you would be able to deduce what is happening or onforward to TAC for review.

Also make sure you are not running any firewall daemon on your Sun box, and if you do, allow udp/500

and allow esp or ah for ipsec.
