Local Authentication with Crypto Maps (PIX 6.2x) and VPN Client 3.x

[cadams]

I am attempting to setup local authentication on a PIX 6.2using the 3.x VPN client. I was able to setup PPTP in this method but when I try to setup authentication as "local" it tells me that I cannot do this. Is this possible? The reason I ask is that I am trying to use the Nortel client to attach to the PIX. The Nortel client requires that you enter a username and password in addition to the group ID.

Thanks in advance,

Chad

Hi,

Current PIX codes do not support extended authentication using local database for IPSec clients. You will need a RADIUS or TACACS server.
