We have a probelm coming up witha design for connecting home users through 871 cisco router back to cisco concnetrator.
we can not use ezvpn due to some connetrator vpn options already in place.
Really need advie on how to configure so PC user is prompted 2-factor before getting access to pre-established (pre-shared key) vpn tunnel from 871 back to corp office (concentrator). Already thought of cisco vpn client but network guys state can not be used without ezvpn, we are using dmvpn.
Ideally can we get user on PC to do 2-factor (RSA passcode) then login to windows domain and get access to corp network through 871. The 871 router would act as our security gateway.

PC--->Cisco Router 871----> Internet-------> Concentrator---->RSA Auth Manager Server

[phone connected to another port on 871]

VOIP phone(separate vlan through established tunnel) Voip network separate than data network so auth not required.

 
You are all over the place with your question. Are you trying to use the Cisco VPN client, or are you trying to configure a site to site vpn? There is no 2 factor authentication for a site to site VPN.
 
Well to clarify,
site-site is through established VPN using pre-shared keys.

Now we need to do 2-factor auth of PC before it gets through 871 router and back to corp office through vpn tunnel

Cheers
 
If there is already a vpn tunnel established, then there is no way to establish a 2 factor authentication before traffic passes up the tunnel
 
What about this scenario

871 router established tunnel

802.1x port auth to 871 inside ports. Thus, with the windows XP eap auth to the port using RSA ID, router would use radius back to RSA radius server to confirm, not sure about the process of windows login though.
Any experience?
 
The tunnel would already have to be up to reach the radius server. So you are putting a device in peoples home and are then trying to restrict their access? Plan on being on the phone alot doing remote support. You would be better off using Cisco VPN client software on their machines and using 2 factor authentication
 
Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it.

But what about the voip phone we use. The voip vlan connected would require its own vpn tunnel, thus now I have two tunnels which might create problems on bandwidth?
