Bundling a Root Certificate with the Installation Package for Darwin

To use mutual authentication, the VPN Client computer must have a root certificate installed. You can bundle a root certificate with the installation package so that the root certificate is installed automatically. The following steps place a root certificate with the installation package. The root certificate is contained in a file. The name of the file must be rootcert with no extension.

Step 1 In the GUI, double-click vpnclient-darwin-<version>-K9.dmgor using the CLI, open vpnclient-darwin-<version>-K9.dmg.

Step 2 In the GUI, drag and drop the root certificate into the CiscoVPNClient folder on the desktop, making sure the file is renamed to rootcert or using the CLI, enter the following command.

cp -f <path_to_root_cert>/<root_cert_filename> /Volumes/CiscoVPNClient

Step 3 In the GUI, press <Apple>-Ewhile focusing on the CiscoVPNClient folder or using the CLI, enter the following command.

umount /Volumes/CiscoVPNClient

Installing the VPN Client
