Stopping VPN .PCF Files from being distributed.

[ert021]

Hello all, i was wondering. Is there a way (built in) to the VPN 3000 devices that can stop a .PCF file from being used by another user? For instance, if i create a PCF file to be used for "internal" users and one for "external vendors", and both use the same authentication, and are terminated into the same network (non dmz). How would i prevent the vendor from using the "internal" pcf file? Certificates would not be an option at this time, neither will using any NAC.

Thanks.

The VPN Client uses parameters that must be uniquely configured for each remote user of the private network. Together these parameters make up a user profile, which is contained in a profile configuration file (.pcf file).

To avoid distribute preconfigured profiles, remove the configuration files (.pcf files) from the Profiles folder in the vpnclient installer directory.

Any file with a .pcf extension found in this folder is placed in the Profiles directory when the VPN Client is installed.
