IPsec client for Mac and Linux - where?

[mmedwid]

According to this URL there should be a Cisco VPN client for Mac and Linux.  But when I go through the

download menus I see only an IPsec client for Windows.  I found an article that says some versions of

Mac come with a Cisco VPN client built-in.  Is there a place where you can download the Linux and Mac

IPsec clients?

If you have Cisco.com login and can download software, try the following path :-

Products

Security

Virtual Private Networks (VPN)

Cisco VPN Clients

Cisco VPN Client

Cisco VPN Client v4.x

VPN Client Software

The clients for these start with v4.x , you will find versions for linux , Mac & unix here. here's the link but it will need your cisco.com id to download.

Manish,

Gave a nice instruction. I'd like to give my thoughs.

Unity VPN client has it's short comings on Linux and MAC platforms, what I'd like to suggest is to ultize anyconnect on those platforms.

As an alternative, this is by no way recommended, but I heard good feedback:

- Mac has built in IPSec VPN client

- vpnc on Linux it has even a converter for Cisco PCF files.
