VPN How-To for Mac

Turns out MacOS 10.6 will connect directly to the UCLA Cisco VPN. Much nicer than having to use the add-on Cisco client.

To set up:

1. Open Networking Preferences
2. Click the plus to add a new connection, select “VPN”, select “Cisco IPSec”
3. Set Server Address to “vpn.ucla.edu”
4. Set Account Name to your BOL user name
5. Click Authentication Settings
6. Enter a Group Name of “UCLAIPSEC”
7. Enter the BOL Shared Secret (You'll be required to log into your BOL account to get it)
