    Help with Cisco VPN and RSA SecureID

    For work I occasionally must access a VPN. On my Mac setup was pretty seamless:

    - installed VPN client and imported .pcf profile
    - installed RSA SecureID client and imported token.
    - ran both apps, RSA app asks for PIN and generates numeric passcode.
    - logged in to VPN and entered RSA generated passcode.

    How exactly to I repeat this on Ubuntu/Xubuntu?

    - Thanks to the wiki.ubuntu.com, I've got the Cisco VPN client plugin installed and active.
    - I was able to import my .pcf profile.
    - Connection fails with out "secrets" and it asks for a password that I don't have.

    That's as far as I can get. What do need to do to get netork-manager to act like the Mac RSA SecureID app? Or what else to need to install?

    Thanks ahead of time to anyone who can help with this!

    Follow up

    Non-preferred workaround is this (and this may not be secure):
    -On Mac, input the PIN and generate the Numeric Passphrase
    -In Network Manager, connect to VPN, enter Passphrase generated on the Mac. Connection established.

    Need 2 systems to log in?
