[Vpn-help] Problem connecting to Cisco ASA

[Tim Cott]

Problem solved!  The gateway was returning the FQDN but the VPN Client wasn't expecting one because...
it wasn't in the PCF!  I added the string to the config on the Authentication/Remote ID tab and voila!  Tunnel established and we're in business.

Thank you Mark for helping to get my brain in gear!  :)

Hi Tim,

Can you please send me a copy of your pcf file in a private email? There
may be a problem with the import process that only effects certain pcf
files. I'm not sure what is causing it yet. Feel free to XXX out your
PSK and host/IP data before sending.

If anyone else on the list has a sample pcf file that is not working,
please do the same.

Thanks,

-Matthew
