Hi Dario,
There is no support for locally caching the user password. However, you
can create a shortcut that supplies the password on the ipsecc command
line ...
ipsecc -r "name" [-u <name>][-p <pass>][-a]
-r site configuration name
-u connection user name
-p connection user password
-a auto connect
However, this should be avoided on shared machines. Specifying passwords
on a command line is a bad idea.
Hope this helps,
-Matthew
