Cisco IPSec iOS Saved User Password Breaks VPN

busthead

Hello,

After downloading the Cisco iOS device VPN configuration from the Remote Access section of the User Portal and installing the profile, I connect to VPN, I enter the user's password, and connect successfully.

If I edit the iOS VPN configuration and add the user's password instead of leaving it as "Ask Every Time," I receive an "No VPN shared secret was provided" error.

Thereafter, if I delete the user's password, returning the configuration to "Ask Every Time," I am no longer prompted for the user's password and receive the "No VPN shared secret was provided" error. 

Same result on iOS 16.3 and 15.7.1 and with all UTM users.

UTM 9.713-19

Please help!

    try this method, it worked for me and its good walkaround not requiring manually typing password every time:

    Just in case remove your profile and import again as before, after importing profile don't type password to be save, don't do anything with it, just leave that profile as it is and create new profile manually by clicking "add configuration" :
    Type: IPsec
    Desc: VPN IPsec WORKING (any name you prefer)
    account: your vpn account name
    pass: pass for your vpn account
    user cert - tick this and select cert (should be 1 available)
    click save, when you go back to profile it will show as cert not ticked, but don't worry it is using it (maybe another apple bug). try to connect to VPN with new created profile.

    Its important to remember to not delete previously imported profile as it contain cert needed for manually created new profile.

    There should be a way of importing that cert on its own without need to install whole profile that is not used for connecting to vpn and then creating manually profile using that cert, that will be nicer and cleaner way with one only profile and I may look in to this some other day ;)
