Windows 2003 IAS and Cisco VPN Client
Posted by Tom on December 24th, 2004


Hi everyone!

I have a question for the group and any response would be
appreciated...

I setup Windows 2003 IAS and Cisco VPN Client using PIX 515 and all
works great based on the document Cisco provided. However, I have a
security question:

The document states that Cisco VPN client will only support PAP or SPAP
without any encryption (tested it, it's true...). What does that mean
for security? Are the username and password being passed unencrypted?
The tunnel is already created using the vpngroup so I'm not very
sure... I could not find any good answers from Cisco or Microsoft and
was wondering if anyone found this answer...

Thank you all!

Tom
