    If the company is big enough they'll probably use RADIUS or TACACS for the VPN authentication. That's easily setup and maintained from a central location.

    I've heard of these, but don't know much, so I'll start googling! Just one question before I start though: Are they equally appropriate for outgoing VPNs (as in my scenario) as incoming VPNs?

    They're usually used to authenticate incoming VPN requests.

    IF they have any Cisco equipment they'll probably be using Cisco Secure ACS server. This can also authenticate users to active directory making AD the central place for account management.

    Thank you. My research led me to that conclusion - so RADIUS or TACACS wouldn't be of any use in my scenario.
