Nortel VPN Client - Setting up the group.ini file

Chapter 2 Customizing the client 41
Configuring the Contivity VPN Client
Setting up the group.ini file
The group.ini file format distributes preconfigured group passwords in
conjunction with preconfigured Profiles (Table 5). You create this file and include
it with the custom files (just like the custom icons), along with your preconfigured
baynet.tbk file.
The installation configures the registry with the temporary text group passwords.
The text group passwords are encrypted and deleted the first time the client is run
after the installation. By distributing the group passwords this way, users never
need to enter the information. Instead, they can rely on their token cards and PINs,
or RADIUS passwords for connection protection. You cannot preconfigure PINs
or user-level passwords, only group-level passwords.
Note: The corresponding profile entry must have an authtype that uses
group authentication. If it does not, the client will not look for the group
ID and group password when displaying the authentication options.
