Does anyone know:
Is it possible to do Group Authentication with the built-in VPN client? My work network uses a Cisco VPN and I've managed to extract out of our IT department the Group name and Password but I can't figure out how to enter this onto the Exec - it offers me "A certificate on this device" or "A pre-shared key" and entering the password into the pre-shared key doesn't seem to work. Our IT department tells me that the Exec is unsupported and won't give me any help so anyone out there know how to do this?
If it's not possible, anyone recommend a good VPN client for connecting to a Cisco VPN?
Thanks

Anybody?
My work uses group authentication also. Does anyone know a good vpn client that will work with group authentication?
There is a Cisco ICA/Xen/client for ARM PDA here: http://www.citrix.com/English/ss/downloads/details.asp?downloadId=3607&productId=186#top
Is this what you are looking for?
interesting..
I didn't know there was a citrix client for WM. My work also uses citrix. The only problem is in order to connect with the citrix client I must have a VPN tunnel first . My work uses Cisco VPN Group Authentication. I have not yet found a VPN client for WM that will allow Cisco group authentication. If anyone knows of one, PLEASE let me know.
Thanks wovens for the citrix client. That will be neat to try if I can ever get a VPN tunnel setup.
FOUND IT!
I finally found a VPN client that will work with Cisco group authentication. It is Bluefire Mobile Security VPN. One thing I found is that after you connect you must press the END key to get out of the client because pressing the x will kill the client. Works Great!
The only problem is the company went out of business (http://www.bluefiresecurity.com). I was able to find the .cab, but not sure if it is against forum rules to post it... Can a mod please inform me, thx.
Does your company use Cisco SSL Vpn by chance? It's the way Cisco is leaning as is with less support for the ipsec since they can make more money off of licensing.
Anyhow if your company does use SSL VPN, Cisco's anyconnect client supports Windows mobile. I have been using it and it works good for what I use it for (primarily SSH, but for kicks I tried remote desktop and it worked good too).

Hi,
I'm currently on a HTC Trinity using Mary's 3.3.5 ROM and want to be able to connect to my universities WiFi network but to do so I need to use a VPN tunnel, anyone recommend a good PPC App that will allow me to connect to my universities VPN?
Cheers,

WM6 Pro includes both a PPTP & a L2TP/IPSec VPN client. This will work with most VPN routers & firewalls, however they may not be configured to support it. If you can connect using Windows 2000/XP's built-in PPTP or L2TP/IPSec VPN Client then you can almost certainly connect with WM6's.
A lot if VPN Routers & Firewalls are supplied with a 'free' Windows client that has the documentation geared around it. However most (if not all?) of these products will work with the native VPN client in Windows 2000+ (and WM5/6). I would try and stick with the L2TP/IPSec client but this requires some additional steps over setting up PPTP - on both the client & server (router). It is worth the extra steps in my opinion though.

I have the same problem ... I am not able to connect using the default VPN client ...
Hi,
There's a great review of vpn clients by Menneisyys in the Wiki. It's entitled:
'Access Your Desktop PC From Your Pocket PC!'
I'm sure you'll find it very useful because it would point you in the right direction as regards VPN tunnelling to your Uni's server.

HI!
Thank you for your reply, but this articles are about "Remote desktop" - like solutions for WM - based devises. Not for connecting to VPN.
Did anybody have had any success so far?
Any working 3-rd party VPN clients / Solutions?
Thank you in advance.
Dmitry.

Hi,
You might find Manneisyys' review very long but if you take your time to read it, you'll see that he talks about the various VPN clients and how they compare. VNC, VNC+, etc are all mentioned there.
Just take your time to read it.
kiwi992.
Nice article, is the VPN working?
Do you have the WM6 VPN client working? Specifically the ActiveSync -> VPN -> MS Exchange functionality that was there under WM5?

Thank you for your answer!
But. Once again: the article talks about REMOTE CONTROL with the use of things like: RAdmin, MS RDP, etc.
This sofware - are remote desktops, so called VNC, not VPN clients in a classic way.
There is a little mess we get at the moment. (I've defenetelly got)
Let me describe in detail:
People need VPN here for many reasons, for me it is:
- to connect to some VPN through WIFI with our WM5 \ 6 device.
In my case- this is a public WIFI internet provider, which has a wifi coverage in the city.
Wifi is open PPTP. I need to type in a login \ pass on the web page I get, to start using the internet in current wifi session.
The ALTERNATIVE way to conect to internet - is to establish a VPN connection over the wifi.
I can successfully do in on the laptop.
With my UNI, WM5, AKU 3.5 - I can connect to VPN with the built-in VPN Client, but the first request to internet (via browser or Messaging send-receive) - drops my VPN connection, as it described here in the forum.
So: we need some software that can work.
I tried so far:
1. BlueFire VPN - just can't connect.
2. Antha VPN - just doesn't work.
I have heard thah on some other ROMs there is no problem with the built-in VPN client for PPTP, will try with some other WM6 ROMs later.
Any solution so far?
Thank you, kiwi992
Thanks to everybody!

Hi! The L2TP/IPSec is a special story.
It is widely discussed here at forum: xda-developers > General discussion > Networking >
Search for *VPN* string on this forum.
This is the: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=302520&page=2&highlight=*VPN* one of the success stories.
You need to obtain the certificate from the system administrators of your network. You may also have some "magic" URL in your campus network, where you can download the required certificate. This URL should point to the inranet web page of the web interface of the VPN server.
If your goal is to securely connect to some specific computer on the network, you should use one of the VNC programs: the VNC server part on the computer, and the VNC client on your device.
In any case - first check your certificate \ settings on, say, Windows XP laptop, connected through WIFI, first, then continue with the device.
Good luck!
Dmitry
VPN problems
I don't know if this issue is specific to my device (pharos gps 600 gps phone), or to windows mobile 6 which I'm running.
I can't connect to my vpn through wifi, the reason being is that I cannot associate any connections through the wifi card with the vpn info.
Wifi card doesn't show as a selectable modem in the modem tab next to the vpn tab in the vpn config. Only modems are cellular line modems, bluetooth, and one "hayes compatible com1" which is my usb I would guess.
Does anybody know how I might get around this?
Hi,
I try to establish a vpn connection to our company-VPN.
VPN Gateway is a cisco device. "Normal" connection via notebook with cisco vpn client works.
On my TyTN i installed ncp client. But i dont know how to configure the cisco settings.
On Cisco VPN Client:
- IP Adress of Gateway
- Group Authentication
- Transport IPSec over UDP
On ncp VPN Client:
- IP Adress of Gateway is easy to find
But i cannot assign the other settings. NCP Client has a lot of settings.
Has anybody success to establish vpn connection via windows Mobile to a cisco Gateway ?
Got it. Not the vpn Client was the problem.
The Blackberry connect SW (disabled!) prevented connection via vpn.
Deinstallation of BB Connect und vpn Client from Bluefire works fine.
What did you use as the VPN client to connect into the cisco gateway?
Do you use a RSA secureID token?
I am tring to get a VPN connection running from my HTC p3600i, WM6.
New VPN Client
Since a few days i use another VPN Client: www.ncp.de
Works fine. We do not user RSA Token. Only Group Authentication (free string to identify groups) and XAUTH - user/password.

Any ideas on a MPPE PPTP VPN via WM6? I have been trying to get this to work for months and can't. I am operating under the presumption that the VPN client in WM5/6/6.1 doesn't support MPPE and I am therefor up S#!T creek without a 3rd party dialer...
(It is a VPN connection to my work and yes as sorry as this is they still use an encrypted PPTP connection for all of their VPN connections. If they would just move on to something a LITTLE more current L2TP/IPsec I wouldn't be having any of these problems...)
But is there such a thing as a 3rd party PPTP VPN client for WM5/6/6.1 I haven't been able to find one...
TIA~

New(ish) Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client
Cisco have released an AnyConnect VPN client for Windows Mobile 5/6 (version 2.3.185). This is specifically targetted towards the ASA 5500 platform as the VPN server, however it should also work with IOS VPN devices (I am told?).
I haven't tried it, however I have seen it demonstrated and it all seemed to work.
Personally I prefer the integrated L2TP/IPSec VPN client and have posted previously on how to get this working with Cisco PIX 6.3, ASA/PIX 7.x and IOS devices.
Andy
AnyConnect VPN client will support only SSL VPN, that avaiable on Cisco ASA and IOS from 12.4(20)T or later.
Can I have two VPN connections to two different places on the same computer?
I work at two different medical facilities. I have a VPN connection to one and I'm trying to set up one for the other. When I'm in the New Connection Wizard and I pick "automatically dial connection", it makes me pick the medical facility that I already had on the computer to "automatically dial" when trying to create this new one.
cool vpn has given the users privilege to surf internet with freedom and security Thanks to VPN
Hi, my problem is that I need a VPN Client for my Diamond but I can't find one. Actually I found some: NPC, Bluefire and OpenVPN (alpha). But those are for WM 5.0. So I don't know whether they function on WM 6.1. Another thing is that the WLAN I want to connect to is a Cisco VPN. I don't know whether those programs support Cisco VPN or not.
Hope you can help me
Greets
bluefire works like a charm on my wm6.1 diamond
as far i know my uni has cisco and bluefire works for me. Openvpn doesnt...
I would appreciate if there would be some mortscript automation, because you always have to dial wlan, then vpn and type in your password for vpn everytime...
Would you upload it please? The Bluefire homepage is down. Can I use *.pcf files to configure Bluefire? Because I only have a *.pcf file to configure the Cisco Client on my laptop.
Edit: Which version do you use? The newest version I found was 3.0 but as I said, the homepage is down unfortunately.
HI to all
I am looking for a working VPN Client (the Iphone has one which is working) to connect my Touch Cruise to the intranet of my firm.
I read that NCP has one, but it is quite expensive ...
is there any other solucion?
For free?
Shrew is working fine on my laptop, but y would like to check something out of mi WinMo Polaris.
I actually am using WinMo 6.1 but if necessary I also could change to 6.5
Thanks
Isidar
OpenVPN has a free client for WinMo but I don't know if it will work for your VPN, give it a shot.
you can use hamachi-0.0.3.1
http://rapidshare.com/files/83751409/hamachi-0.0.3.1.rar (for your mobile)
https://secure.logmein.com/products/hamachi/list.asp (for your pc)

i think openvpn is not compatible with cisco vpn since cisco uses ipsec and openvpn uses a simply tunnel created on udp port 1194 (no need for gre,ike,or pptp port's/protocols open).
it's much simpier but work very well and just with the p12 certificate (ok my certificate is 2048bit so i think it is minimally secure, nothing like a dynamic generated rsa key but even better than just a ssh tunnel or something like).
Back in the days of Windows Mobile 2003 I used to use "MovianVPN" to connect to my university network. The software is now superseded by AnthaVPN (www.anthasoft.com). It is designed for Windows Mobile 5 and they have no mention of WM6 compatibility, but I think its worth a shot.
I also read about another product called "Bluefire VPN", but I can't seem to find it online at the moment.
Edit: The above solutions are not free, but the price might be refundable by your company.
Cisco AnyConnect for Pocket PC
There is an application from Cisco itself that you can download and try.
It's based an Cisco's new Anyconnect module

The Cisco device at the other end has to be setup for SSL VPN otherwise Anyconnect does not work. This is somewhat new and SSL VPN licenses are expensive.
Personally I use AnthaVPN on my HTC Touch (WinMo 6.1 Pro) and it works great with our IPSec Cisco VPN (the old way since we're too cheap to buy the licenses for the SSL VPN).
EDIT: And if your company is setup for SSL VPN, you should not need to download a client. Your admin should give you a website and it connects to the router/firewall/VPN concentrator and downloads the proper client for you. Better than going to some random site to download something.
The integrated L2TP/IPSec client?
I have posted previously on here about VPN clients and Cisco Routers & Firewalls. The integrated L2TP/IPSec client works with both Cisco PIX/ASA Firewalls as well as IOS Routers - it is dependant on how these are configured though. I posted two configurations from PIX 6.3(5) and PIX 7.2(4) - both of which I had working. It seems there are some limitations when setting up groups however my testing didn't include this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=444948&highlight=Cisco
I was going to test the Group issues someone reported but never got around to it - I have a full-time job as well
