Colin,

Are you saying that Cisco Client 5.0.07.0440 is no longer supported by Cisco, 
or/on Windows 8?  I've used it successfully on Windows 8 x64 which is why I ask 
(although I still prefer Shrew).  Has Cisco abandoned this client in favor of 
their AnyConnect?

Secondly, is the professional edition of Shrew required for the RSA token 
support (assuming the Shrew client supports it) ?  I don't see where that is 
called out in the professional edition vs. the standard one.

I haven't had to deal with tokens for my VPN needs, so can't give you any 
useful info.

Subject: [vpn-help] VPN client causing "next token code" mode on RSA appliance

The company I am connecting to is using the Cisco VPN Client 5.0.07.0440 which 
is no longer supported and recently stopped working on my Windows 8 
installation. I am working on the trial of Shrew Soft VPN Client 2.2.2 to find 
a workaround to get IPSec VPN on Windows 8.

Since using the Shrew Soft client I have experienced several times where I am 
unable to connect with the client returning a user authorization failed 
message.  Working with the VPN admins we have determined that the client is 
triggering my user profile to go into "Next Token Code" mode with the RSA 
appliance.  The workaround is to use the Cisco client to connect and satisfy 
the next token code request, then disconnect and connect once the token code 
cycles.  It seems that the Shrew Soft client does not recognize the next token 
code request.

Here are the details of the VPN:
Cisco ASA 5510
RSA SecurID Appliance 3.0 (running latest code)

My token is an RSA SecurID SID800

Not sure if this is a bug or not but with five days left in the trial I'd like 
to get a sense of where this stands before I make a decision to commit to 
purchasing the Shrew Soft client.

Thanks,
Colin
