I'm not sure whether I understand what you're suggesting - but maybe I
didn't explain my requirements properly.
I have the Nortel Contivity VPN Client installed on my notebook. I use it
sometimes to tunnel into the company I work for and sometimes to tunnel
into a customer's network where I have application support obligations.
The Nortel client uses different screen layouts depending on
authentication method. To connect to my company network, I use an
ActiveCard - here it is sufficient to drag the ActiveCard icon the the
"Passcode" field in the entry form.
To connect to my customer, I have an RSA SecurId device - here I need two
fields to enter, a PIN and the token displayed on the SecurId device.
So far, I have managed to define the tunnel target node and the tunnel
username for each of the two connections - whenever I open the connection
window, the proper values are already filled in.
But the layout of the window part which allows me to enter the respective
user's "secret values" (passcode or PIN/token) is always the same as the
last time I used the client - regardless whether I use the company tunnel
or the customer tunnel. I can only change this through the Authentication
Options menu / dialog. And this setup is then kept for the next client
invocation regardless of of connection chosen.
I can't believe you would suggest I should install a Radius server on my
notebook?
Thanks for any help,
Hans.
