Re: Cisco VPN Concentrator GUI

Hi,

Are you talking about the Cisco's administrative interface, or the WebVPN interface? WebVPN allows users to access network resources through a web client. While this is obviously a point of concern, ACLs can be configured to limit access to resources for users.

I don't believe that the Cisco VPN Concentrator will lockout admin accounts after invalid login attempts, so exposing the admin interface would be of great concern.

later,
Steve
