Hi there, here is my situation:<br />
<br />
My corporate FW is a 3com superstack 3 firewall; it is also our VPN server and hosts all VPN connections to our network. Aside from its standard encryption and authentication, it offers XAUTH authentication. Our clients that are using Windows 2000 machines get a windows login prompt when they try to use the VPN from a remote location, but with the XP machines, we have to disable XAUTH, as no prompt appears and the connection cannot be validated.<br />
<br />
When Xauth is off, then the XP machines connect fine. But with our setup we need to be able to offer this extra form of authentication.<br />
<br />
Any ideas or opinions would be greatly appreciated.<br />
<br />
Thank you,<br />
<br />
Mike<br />

XAUTH With Windows XP?

Operating system security (OS security) is the process of ensuring OS integrity, confidentiality and availability. OS security refers to specified steps or measures used to protect the OS from threats, viruses, worms, malware or remote hacker intrusions. OS security encompasses all preventive-control techniques, which safeguard any computer assets capable of being stolen, edited or deleted if OS security is compromised, including authentication, passwords and threats to systems and programs.
