Installing VPN Client on Mac OS X

 

Step 1: Download and run either the PPC client installation package (for Mac OS X 10.2 and 10.3), or the Universal client installation package (for Mac OS 10.4 or higher).

Step 2: Double-click the vpnclient installer icon.

Step 3: Open the installer package by double-clicking the Cisco VPN Client.mpkg file that resides in the installer directory.

Step 4: Click on the Continue button.

Step 5: You are required to read and accept the Cisco software license agreement before you can continue with the installation process. Before you accept the license agreement, you can:

  • Print the license agreement.
  • Save the license agreement to a file.
  • Go Back to the Introduction window.
  • Continue and agree to the terms in the license agreement.

When you have completely read the Cisco VPN Client software license agreement, click Continue.

Step 6: To continue with the installation, click Agree.

Step 7: If your workstation has more than one disk drive, you can select the destination volume to install the VPN Client on your workstation. Click Continue. The VPN Client is installed in the Applications directory.

Step 8: The default installation process installs the following packages with the VPN Client application:

  • VPN Client application binaries (includes everything in the directory /usr/local/bin, including the ipseclog).
  • VPN Client graphical user interface.
  • VPN Client kernel extension
  • VPN Client profiles (includes the global profile, vpnclient.ini, and any user profiles, *.pcf files).
  • VPN startup (the system startup script to automatically start the client at boot time).

The VPN Client application binaries and the VPN Client kernel extension must be part of your installation. However, installing the other three packages is optional.

To install all packages, click Install on the Easy Install window.

Step 9: Sit back and relax for a few minutes while files are installed and the system is configured for the VPN Client.

Step 10: Click Close.

If you do not receive this confirmation, the installation was not successful. You must start the installation process again from the beginning or contact your network administrator for assistance.
