Mac OS X 10.2: PPTP Does Not Remember Password

When making a PPTP connection in Internet Connect, you may be asked for your keychain password, despite having set the password to be saved. You see visual indication of a saved password (bullet characters), but the password is actually blank until you unlock the keychain.
Symptom

Your saved keychain password setting is not honored when making a PPTP connection.


Solution

You must work around the issue by reentering the keychain password when asked.
