Hi Community,

as a Student I was very happy to hold my N900 in my hands and starting to play with my new Toy I love my N900 and I use it all time.

I have it now for 1 Week and I was playing with it and trying some new Applications, but for 3 Days I am trying to connect to our University Network, which uses Cisco and the Eduroam encryption but I cannot connect to our Uni. Network.

I tryed it with OpenConnect, because some People on the Internet wrote that this Application works fine with Cisco Systems but I it does not with the Cisco System of my University.

Now for Eduroam encryption.

The Maemo OS does not support this encryption protocol, this bug is known for 3 hole years but no solution from Nokia was offered.


Here the Bugzilla Link

So I cant use the other way, because I thought if the way via VPN does not work I could simply connect via Wlan and use our Eduroam Hotspot, but this also don't work.

So I am asking/begging for help.

Could someone tell me how to get in VPN Cisco Network of my University.

Here are the Linux Details for a Linux VPN Software.

Code:
IPSec gateway cisco-vpn-1.rz.ruhr-uni-bochum.de
IPSec ID RUB oder RUBBIB
IPSec secret csmvpn3000
Xauth username LOGINID
NAT Traversal Mode none
I tryed it with OpenConnect.

I filled this in OpenConnect

Code:
Profil Name VPN
VPN Server:cisco-vpn-1.rz.ruhr-uni-bochum.de
Username:RUB
Password:csmvpn3000
Xauth Username is my Student ID
but first of all I must get in the VPN Network therefor I must use
Username:RUB
Password:csmvpn3000

after that I can enter my
Username: StudentID
Password: StudentPassword

This way it work with the Cisco Client on Windows and Linux

but I only get Errors

Code:
Attempting to connect to cisco-vpn-1.rz.ruhr-uni-bochum.de.

Failed to connect to host cisco-vpn-1.rz.ruhr-uni-bochum.de
Failed to open HTTPS connection to cisco-vpn-1.rz.ruhr-uni-bochum.de
Failed to obtain WebVPN cookie

It would be far greater if someone would develop a Applications which supports the Eduroam encryption, Cisco Systems and can read pcf files!

(pcf files are config files from the Cisco Client)
