			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So today I wanted to move one Cisco VPN connection from my MBP to another mac.</p>
<p>The problem was that I didn&#8217;t received any .pcf file from admin, I got only group login and password (which I didn&#8217;t wrote down).</p>
<p>So after bit of searching on the disk I have found that Cisco VPN client is creating new <strong>.pcf</strong> file for every connection that you create in it. They are located in <strong>/private/etc/opt/cisco-vpnclient/Profiles </strong>directory and waiting to be exctracted. So to be able to obtain password from it do like this:</p>
<ol>
<li>open file from that directory, file will have same name as Connection name in Cisco VPN Client</li>
<li>in the file find string <strong>enc_GroupPwd=</strong> and copy everything behind <strong>=</strong> sign</li>
<li>open <a title="cisco vpnclient password decoder" href="http://www.unix-ag.uni-kl.de/~massar/bin/cisco-decode">this site</a> and copy encrypted password there, click decode button and site will return decrypted group password</li>
<li>now you have password and you can create new connection on the another mac with details that you have on old one, host ip, group name, password, etc.</li>
</ol>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yesterday I tried to connect to my work network with Cisco VPN client after recent reinstallation of my laptop but without success.</p>
<p>Error that I was getting was <strong>PEER_DELETE-IKE_DELETE_UNSPECIFIED</strong>. I tried to find some with similar problem on Google but that wasn&#8217;t successful either.</p>
<p>So the only thing to do was to install Windows from scratch and begin from start again with elimination of software.</p>
<p>After a while I have found that new version of Thinkpad Fingerprint Software 5.8 was cause of my agony. It took me almost 2 days to find this error but reverting on older version 5.6 solved the problem.</p>
<p>I hope that this will help someone with similar problem like I had.</p>
