Hi Dario,

There is no support for locally caching the user password. However, you 
can create a shortcut that supplies the password on the ipsecc command 
line ...

ipsecc -r "name" [-u <name>][-p <pass>][-a]
   -r site configuration name
   -u connection user name
   -p connection user password
   -a auto connect

However, this should be avoided on shared machines. Specifying passwords 
on a command line is a bad idea.

Hope this helps,

-Matthew
