F18 Network Manager VPN technology question
by Péter Sólyom-Nagy 25 Apr '13

25 Apr '13

Hi All, I need some technical explanation about VPN in F18. (F18, KDE environment) Please tell me, what happens if I import a PCF file on the Network Manager UI? My PCF file refers to a Cisco VPN using group password. - Is the group password accessible during the import (of course it is otherwise it's useless...) - How it is decrpyted? - Which programs are involved? (Is any of them so called unsafe?) - Where're the passwords stored? (Probably in KWallet) - Are the VPN passwords "clear-text" accessible somewhere? I need to prove that using this PCF file is secure on F18 too. The PCF file is originating from Windows environment. The publishing company uses official Cisco client. I know that there are tons of sites and apps to decrypt the password, but I need to prove that the basic Fedora installation is secure. Do you need more information? Please ask me! Thanks in advance, *Peter SOLYOM-NAGY*
