Has anybody found a way to leverage the built-in clients (L2TP IPSec)in both
Windows and Macintosh for use with the Nortel Contivity VPN routers? The big
problem- the native clients use client user name and password only, and a
pre-share, but the Nortel box works off of Group ID and Password along with
client credentials.
Trying to maybe leverage a dummy field in either AD or RADIUS to work for the
group ID/password part for Macintoshes, as opposed to spending $$ on the Apani
client for our growing Mac user base... (For those who don't know, Nortel does
not provide a free IPSec client for Mac/Linux for use with their boxes.)
(Yes, I know- PPTP is also an option)

We couldn't make it work. We're testing a Cisco VPN concentrator now, since the
clients are free for both platforms...
