Hi there.



I have a setup with a PIX 515 with VPN using this guide from Cisco:

After I upgraded the PIX to version 7.0 I now get a prompt for a username and a password wich I did not before I upgraded.



Anyone who knows what the difference is?

Hi Martin,

i think that the upgrade implemented the enhanced authentication in your vpn config, like a security feature. You must configure a user in the local pix database with a little privilege level.

Sample:

username vpnuser password secure privilege 2

Now you can login with this credentials. Please look at the client authentication in your vpn config to verify that the local authentication.

Greetings

Gerd

Thank you, this worked. I was just wondering. Is it possible to use a radius and Windows AD instead of the local database?

Yes, you can. You need to activate the IAS (Internet Authentication Service) on a member server and configure RADIUS authentication for your VPN on your PIX. And if your ADS is running in native mode you can also give "VPN priviledges" based on ADS group membership.
