VPS Config will not save the password

I am running 10.11.4 on what we'll call the Machine B and I'm trying to config a VPN which is supposed to connect to a Mac OS X Server running a VPN L2TP.

Another machine, we'll call the Machine A, connects to the VPN without problem. So, I know that the problem is NOT server-side.

So in sys prefs, you can access the network, and I have my VPN connection in there. Under authentication, I have two fields, one password and one for the shared secret.

On computer A, when I go to look at settings, these two are saved correctly. This is why Machine A connects to the VPN without problem.

On Machine B, I enter the password and the shared secret. I hit OK. If I click the authentication settings button once again, I see the points demonstrating the existence of a stored value of password and the shared secret. Then I click APPLY. Now if I click authentication settings, the password and the shared secret are empty!

This happens again and again. I can't understand why. No wonder my VPN will not connect if this f-in computer won't save the authentication settings.

Moreover, the VPN used to work perfectly without a problem. Then something happened - he asked me a password for my VPN unexpectedly. Never, since the VPN not working and I can't make it work because of this problem.

Hello

We discovered a machine here at our office today who had exactly the same problem. Your post was the only one I could find that describes our problem exactly.

Our machine is a Macbook Pro, El Cap 10.11.4

I found a solution that allowed me to recreate the VPN connection through the command line.

Once the VPN connection has been recreated the shared key has been registered successfully in its field in the connection settings.

This script https://github.com/halo/macosvpn saved the day.

We use Cisco IPSec that is described on how to enter in the CLI to the bottom of the page, but L2TP is mentioned above.

Good luck!

  • Firefox 8, will not save the username on some sites, is there I can to add a settings file manually?

    For most sites, FF8 records my login information. For some sites, it will not save my username. One site in particular, he used to be saved (I think that I added it to a settings file in an earlier version), but I deleted this user name for connection, and now I can't seem to save my user name.

    Is there a file somewhere that can be changed so that the username appears?

    Thank you

    The Web site may use autocomplete = off to prevent Firefox to record the name and the password.

    You can remove autocomplete = off with a bookmarklet to register the name and the password of Firefox.

  • Reader 9.4 will not save the completed form of Pro v8

    I just create a new form that Reader 9.4 won't let me save the changes are complete on.  She can only look at one, editing, printing, but does not save the contents of the modified form.  If I open it with Pro v8, it works fine.

    I opened some forms that I created some time ago, and they work fine - view, navigate, print, and save the changes.  It's just this new form which will not save.

    Is there a setting some part that I inadvertently set which is the cause?  My customer really needs this form, but it is useless if they cannot save the changes.

    Also, I will check the updates on my 8, and now it's the v8.1.3.  I uninstalled Adobe Reader and not reinstalled - no change.  It also does the same thing (not allowing not saved) on two different machines.

    Thanks in advance

  • Firefox will not save the names of user or password

    I have Firefox at work, where they have a policy file that prevents me to set a homepage, by setting Firefox as default and remember history.

    Now, because I used sync at work and at home sync to synchronize my favorites, I can no longer set the homepage to home, put Firefox by default, or save the data of login/password or search history. The only thing that remains is favorite.

    Hi there, please check your preferences. Check if Donot forget not the history is enabled or not.
    If Yes, then firefox behaves as incognito mode, change it to remember the story to solve your problem.

    Hope that helps.
    If the problem persists, please do not hesitate to ask at any time.
