[FW-1] We need to auto-authenticate Win2k and Mac OS10 VPN to FW.

[Alan Choyna [Permanent Link]]

We are running SPLAT R55 HFA9 with securemote R56.

We have some Win2k servers that need to push info to a server behind our
gateway from an affiliate company 24/7 reliably.

We installed Securemote, and the users authenticate via user id and
password, and have configured securemote to auto authenticate. This is not
entirely reliable though, and every few days securemote asks for manual
re-authentication. Is this a known problem?

Any suggestions of how to make the auto authentication more reliable?

Would authentication via certificate be more reliable in this manner? If
so, how do we set it up?

Thanks in advance for any advice or input.

Alan.
