Anyone tried the iPhone with Checkpoint VPN? We use this with a SecureID on our corporate network. Is there a place on the iPhone to enter the SecureID key?
 
Tried, but no win yet...

Anyone tried the iPhone with Checkpoint VPN? We use this with a SecureID on our corporate network. Is there a place on the iPhone to enter the SecureID key?

I wish I understood more about what protocol the Checkpoint VPN client is using, because I'd like to do this, too.

the options in the interface for VPN are L2TP and PPTP
With L2TP, you get Server, Account, Password, Secret
With PPTP, It's Server, Account, Password, Encryption Level.

Password defaults to "Ask Every Time", so if that's where you enter your SecureID, then we're in business.

I haven't had any luck, but there aren't that many combinations to try...

Crap. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305723

iPhone supports the following configurations of PPTP and L2TP/IPSec protocols for VPN (Virtual private networks):

PPTP + MSCHAPv2
L2TP/IPSec with SharedSecret + MSCHAPv2
iPhone does not support:

Pure IPSec
IPSec Machine Certificates
PPP User Certificates or SmartCard (EAP-TLS)
L2TP/IPSec Kerberos Authentication Token
RSA-SecurID (EAP-RSA) Authentication Token

We're SOL, it looks like.
