Cisco VPN client version 4.9.01.0290 does not work on OSX 10.7.4 but it works on 10.7.2. The issue is that x64 are not supported. I am not sure way it is working on another mac with OSX 10.7.2, which is still Lion and it is x64. I tried to reboot in 32bit but it does not work anymore. I tired other clients, including the in-built client but the decrypted shared key have characters that are known to break the key ($ and &).

Any help?

Cisco has EOL'd VPN Client, and so 10.7 is not fully supported (and never will be). Cisco is recommending migration to Cisco AnyConnect.

That's the bad news.

The good news is that you should be able to configure the VPN connection directly within OS X without installing VPN Client. The other end will have to provide you connection information and possibly a certificate file, but that should be easy enough. Detailed information can be found in Cisco's documentation.

  • Thank you, the IT team of the company I need to connect to said that Cisco Anyconnect does not work. – rtacconi Sep 11 '12 at 10:10
  • Fortunately you probably don't need it. See my updated answer. – Michael Hampton Sep 11 '12 at 10:46
  • I are right and I new that. I forgot to mention that the secret shared password, which I decrypted, have stupit characters such a & and £ and I read that that kind of shared password do not work with the in-build client and it is not working for me. – rtacconi Sep 11 '12 at 14:34
  • I tried Shimo too but it is not working eigher – rtacconi Sep 11 '12 at 14:35
  • At this point I'd contact the company you're trying to connect to, and have _them_ make it work. They should already have worked out this issue for their own VPN users. – Michael Hampton Sep 11 '12 at 14:43
  • They only support Windows XP, there even do not I have decrypted the password, they are useless. – rtacconi Sep 11 '12 at 18:44
