Hi guys, Managed to get my Nexus 7 connecting the same way as the iPhones with the Cisco IPSec option, so I thought I'd post the (fairly simple) process. This assumes you already have setup the Cisco/IPSec VPN as per instructions for an iOS device: [LIST=1] Enable/login to the User Portal Download your certificate - NOT the iOS one, the normal p12 file. I couldn't do this on my Nexus 7 in either Chrome or Dolphin browsers, so I ended up downloading it on a PC and copying it into the sdcard/Downloads area on the tablet via a USB cable. On the Android device, going into Settings, Security - look for the option under Credential Storage for "Install from storage ". It should prompt for the password specified when you downloaded your certificate in step 1 Once that's done, return to Settings, Wireless & Networks - more, VPN Add VPN profile - give it any name, select type: IPSec Xauth RSA, type in server address (FQDN), select your IPSec user certificate and IPSec CA certificate, leave IPSec server certificate as (received from server), advanced options not required. That should do it - click the VPN connection you just created and it should prompt for username/password and then connect! [/LIST] I'm pretty sure that covers all the steps. Let me know if I missed anything. I know I searched the forums for a bit trying to find Android instructions without luck, so hopefully this helps someone. Tested & working with Nexus 7 running Jellybean.

Android IPSec (cisco)

Hi guys,

Managed to get my Nexus 7 connecting the same way as the iPhones with the Cisco IPSec option, so I thought I'd post the (fairly simple) process. This assumes you already have setup the Cisco/IPSec VPN as per instructions for an iOS device:

[LIST=1]

Enable/login to the User Portal
Download your certificate - NOT the iOS one, the normal p12 file. I couldn't do this on my Nexus 7 in either Chrome or Dolphin browsers, so I ended up downloading it on a PC and copying it into the sdcard/Downloads area on the tablet via a USB cable.
On the Android device, going into Settings, Security - look for the option under Credential Storage for "Install from storage".
It should prompt for the password specified when you downloaded your certificate in step 1
Once that's done, return to Settings, Wireless & Networks - more, VPN
Add VPN profile - give it any name, select type: IPSec Xauth RSA, type in server address (FQDN), select your IPSec user certificate and IPSec CA certificate, leave IPSec server certificate as (received from server), advanced options not required.
That should do it - click the VPN connection you just created and it should prompt for username/password and then connect!

[/LIST]
