Hi,
At our office, they provide wireless internet access and secure connections to customers.
We have VPN server with RADIUS authentication and all the other needed things to serve VPN client requests. At present we are configuring the client like this.
Start --> Settings --> Network and DialUp Connections --> Make a New Connection.
Then i get a Network Connection Wizard.
1. Next
2. Choose "Connect to a private network through the internet"
3. Choose "Do not Dial the initial Connection"
4. I give "Server IP address"
5. choose "Only for my self"
6. Name "VPN Connection"
This is the way i configure a VPN CLIENT from my computer.
Now we want to develop a software for customer. when he has this software he shouldn't be doing all this procedure. When he runs it, he should just be prompted for Username/Password. Our server should authenticate the user and let him have a VPN connection.
What can i do to accomplish this? ( I tried socket programming in Visual C++) my boss wants something really easy to do this. He wants me to use the windows services that are available for establishing a VPN connection. Only thing he bother is, the screens and wizards should be hidden from the customer and we should hardcode this.
I saw somebody else's vpn client software. it is exactly like windows VPN connection screen. he is sending "CMSTP.exe" as input to his exe file. and he is running some ipsecpolicies batch file. it looks lik some script file. i am unable to find out how did he do that or any other help.
Can any body please help me? I need help very badly. Please give me some links or information about how one can automate the configuration of vpn client? or atleast keep the wizards hidden from user?
any help will greatly appreciated.
Thanks alot..
