   It did not work for me. I got prompted for the password, and as soon as I   
   press Return, it says it couldn't log in. I think the problem may be in that   
   the OS X version requires some form of machine authentication, either a   
   shared secret or a certificate, and the Cisco version does not.   
      
   The OS X machine authentication area is a pair of radio buttons, implying one   
   or the other.
