recently started using a Cisco VPN Concentrator so that Staff and Students can
access the College Intranet from home.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=514472815-29032006>I am currently
trying to find solutions to two issues with the
concentrator:</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<OL>
<LI><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=514472815-29032006>Users must
authenticate twice. Once to login to the concentrator, and then again to login
to the Intranet.</SPAN></FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=514472815-29032006>The login page is
extremely plain and unattractive. I have found no way as of yet to get onto
the box and replace/modify the page.</SPAN></FONT></LI></OL>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=514472815-29032006>Does anyone
have experience using a VPN concentrator to provide access to an
Intranet?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=514472815-29032006>I can't believe that
there isn't a mechanism to allow a single login, surely the main point of the
concentrator is to provide external intranet access! I have tried googling about
this and can find very little information.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

the exact model name and details at hand but can get them if
required.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
