Auto Login to Cisco VPN in Leopard; kicker.bundle

[DaedalusBTJ]

Hi,

I am trying to create a script to automatically log in to my school's Cisco "Clean Access" VPN client as per this thread:

https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/162636/

However, I cannot seem to find /System/Library/SystemConfiguration/kicker.bundle . Kicker.bundle doesn't seem to exist anymore in Leopard (at least, not on my system)... any idea of where it went?

My system: PowerBook G4 17" 1.67 GHz, Mac OS X v10.5.1

Thanks!

Hello you may try to rewrite following script which I have created to automatically connect and login to cisco VPN.
It works quite nice on Windows 7 and Windows 8.
1. Create file for example c:\test\CiscoVPNAutoLogin.ps1
2. Paste the code below into that file. Do not forget to change CiscoVPNHost, Login and Password variables.
3. Run the script. You can run it for example using following command line: C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe "C:\test\CiscoVPNAutoLogin.ps1"

Script code is following:

#Source www.cze.cz
#This script is tested with "Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client version 3.0.5080"
#Please change following variables

#IP address or host name of cisco vpn
[string]$CiscoVPNHost = "192.168.0.50"
[string]$Login = "LOGIN"
[string]$Password = "PASSWORD"

#Please verify that following files exist in specified folders
[string]$vpncliAbsolutePath = 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Cisco\Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client\vpncli.exe'
[string]$vpnuiAbsolutePath  = 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Cisco\Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client\vpnui.exe'
