Username & Password Prompt

[bigkevuk]

When using MacShrew should I get a prompt for the Username & Password when I connect like I do with the Shrew VPN client? Or is there a way to save it down?

Thanks

What username/password do you mean? There is only one prompt when macshrew is executing iked daemon which requires local admin priviledges. Do you mean these username/password?

I mean the username and password to authenticate with the VPN, maybe that is a requirement of the VPN I have to dial into as the details aren't stored.

May you please provide the screenshot of this prompt? Which process is asking this?

I mean, when I use the shrews vpn client, I have to enter my vpn username and password to connect. With MacShrew I have no where to enter a username and password for connection. In the log I can see ike waiting for entry in the log.

Hm, it seems to be another type of IPSec for which MacShrew was originally intended to be. We have two options here:
1) You make the change on your own and create pull request
2) You will provide me with this type of VPN with user/pass

This project was really a "quickie", I do not have a time currently to set up your specific VPN infrastructure... If you make it easier for me, I can add this feature. Thanks

Quick and dirty solution

0. Rename your config file in ~/.ike/sites/ from yourconfigname to yourconfigname_USERNAME_PASSWORD
1. Check if your VPN is working:
   /usr/local/bin/ikec -r "<YOUR_NEW_VPN_CONFIG_NAME>" -u <YOUR_USERNAME> -p <YOUR_PASSWORD> -a
2. Open /Applications/macshrew.app/Contents/Resources/MacShrew.py in your code editor
3. On line 81 add

        # CUSTOM DIRTY SOLUTION:
        d_filename = str(self.profile_name)
        d_array = d_filename.split('_')
        d_config = ' -u ' + d_array[2] + ' -p ' + d_array[3] + ' -a'
        # END OF CUSTOM DIRTY SOLUTION

4. Comment-out:

#self._child = pexpect.spawn('%s -r \"%s\"' % (IKEC_PATH, self.profile_name))

and add this under it:

self._child = pexpect.spawn('%s -r \"%s\"%s' % (IKEC_PATH, self.profile_name, d_config))

5. Save the file
6. Close and reopen MacShrew if it was open.
7. Try to connect after selecting your profile
8. Cheers

NOTE: Your config name cant have more underscores _ than in example do to #quick #and #dirty
