iPhone 3G 3GS IPSec VPN Connection to Fortinet Fortigate Firewall
Ive been trying for hours, and not making any progress.
We have a Fortinet 60B Firewall appliance at work and I am currently using PPTP VPN to get a network connection to manage my servers.
The iPhone looks like it uses a Cisco IPSec client, and also offers an L2TP but im not sure that will work as I dont see anything for L2TP in my Fortinet setup. Is L2TP same as IPSec?
Question is: Can it and will it even work?
The Cisco IPSec client is on the phone, is there some custom settings I can use on the Fortinet or iPhone.
I even contacted Fortinet Technical support and they were not able to get me a solid answer.
Worse Case???:
Or an I just screwed and forced to buy a Cisco ASA 5505? If I do get a Cisco 5505, can I use it with my Fortinet? I only need the Cisco used in transparent mode or something to Authenticate the iPhones only. All other security is taken care of by the Fortinet. Whats the best way to configure this?

As the Iphone should support PPTP vpn out of the box.
If you want to use IPSEC then it sounds like you will have to use the Cisco client and to do so you will have to buy a cisco device of some kind.
As to your question about the ASA just to do VPN connections, that will work just fine but having a secondary internet address will make it an easier install.

IPSEC ought to work. I'm not too sure about the settings but I will look it up.
