If Cisco IPsec is prompting you for your password on Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard)..... and that bothers you enough to want to do dive into the guts of your Mac to solve, here's how:


Open your Keychain: Go to Applications -> Utilities -> Keychain Access

Under Keychains, select System

Under Category, select All Items

In the right column, select the item(s) called WiTopia IPSec (or whatever you called your VPN connection)

Double-click the WiTopia IPsec which is of IPSec XAuth Password type

Select the Access Control tab (Enter your password if asked)

Click the plus "+" sign

When Finder opens, press Cmd + Shift + G on your keyboard

When the Go To Folder dialog appears, enter /usr/libexec

Click "Go"

In the /usr/libexec folder select configd and click Add

Click Save Changes

Close Keychain Access and (re-)connect to the VPN
