RE: PIX 512E as VPN server : internal users ?

I use a 515E as a VPN Server, but had to install a CA Server (Microsoft
Certification Authority) inside my net.

The Client present the certificate to the PIX and the PIX verifies it.


Is the cheapest solution I found, instead of using TACACS or Radius


There was another way where I could only define 1 user and everybody shares
it....but obviously was not convenient

Cisco has this example, 

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk583/tk372/technologies_configuration_examp
le09186a0080094e69.shtml


but from the client side it uses a token, I am storing the VPN Certificate
local in the client.

Regards

Juan

Remember that is you use local users/password the users can not change their
password and this can become a support drain even for a small number of
users.

Frederic, Cisco PIX firewalls includes their own local database where
you can configure the users and passwords for the VPN  or for AAA
access, but you must have 6.x Finesse and PDM 3.x versions.

Asunto: PIX 512E as VPN server : internal users ?


Hello everybody, First post here :-)

We have 2 pix 512E (1 is the failover).
I'm trying to configure the pix as a VPN server.
I'm no use to configure IPSEC/L2TP VPN server (except MS ones)

I read about configuring PIX as a VPN server (CISCO web site). But It
talked about TACACS and radius as the users database.

We do not have RADIUS or TACACS server so can we have users inside the
VPN ?

Do you know good how-to sites for PIX 512E ?

Thank to all !
