We are testing SecuRemote on mobile users' laptops (Windows NT 4.0 SP4) and are having 
problems when disconnecting then re-connecting to the ISP.  If the RAS connection is 
broken and immediately re-established then a connection attempt is made to the server 
in the encryption domain, the SecuRemote client displays a message at the bottom of 
the window stating key exchange is taking place with the firewall but after about a 
minute comes up with the error "communication with site X has failed".  The current 
theory is that this is somehow due to the fact that the laptop's IP address changes 
(as this is provided by the ISP on dial-in).

The only way we've found of immediately forcing the user to re-authenticate is by 
killing the SecuRemote process then restarting it.  Erasing passwords from within 
SecuRemote stops Single Sign On from working from then on, which will confuse the 
users  :-).  We've also experimented with authentication settings on the firewall, 
settings within objects.c (e.g. :userc_bind_user_to_IP (true)), and read the VPN 
manual several times without much success.  We really need a transparent process to 
force the user to re-authenticate when a new dial-in connection is established.  Can 
anyone help?

Thanks,
Andy.
