AnyConnect client profiles are downloaded to clients along with the VPN AnyConnect client software. These profiles define many client-related options, such as auto-connect on startup and auto-reconnect, and whether the end-user can change the option from the AnyConnect client preferences and advanced settings.
Cisco Anyconnect Secure Mobility Client Ios 11
Anyconnect, when started, automatically establishes a VPN connection with the secure gateway specified by the Anyconnect profile, or to the last gateway to which the client connected. Minimize On Connect. General improvements and bug fixes. Please report any questions or problems to ac-mobile-feedback@cisco.com. Please note that as of the 4.9 AnyConnect releases certain less secure cipher suites have been removed.
If you configure a fully-qualified hostname (FQDN) for the outside interface when configuring the remote access VPN connection, the system creates a client profile for you. This profile enables the default settings. You must create and upload VPN AnyConnect client profiles only if you want non-default behavior. Note that client profiles are optional: if you do not upload one, AnyConnect clients will use default settings for all profile-controlled options.
Cisco Anyconnect Secure Mobility Client Windows 10
The helper application in Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client (formerly AnyConnect VPN Client) before 2.3.185 on Windows, and on Windows Mobile, downloads a client executable file (vpndownloader.exe) without verifying its authenticity, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via the url property to a certain ActiveX control.
Note: You must include the FTDdevice’s outside interface in the VPN profile’s server list for the AnyConnect client to display all user-controllable settings on the first connection. If you do not add the address or FQDN as a host entry in the profile, then filters do not apply for the session. For example, if you create a certificate match and the certificate properly matches the criteria, but you do not add the device as a host entry in that profile, the certificate match is ignored.
You can also create AnyConnect client profile objects while editing a profile property by clicking the Create New AnyConnect Client Profile link shown in the object list.
Before you begin
Before you can upload VPN AnyConnect client profiles, you must do the following.
- Download and install the stand-alone AnyConnect “Profile Editor - Windows / Standalone installer (MSI).” The installation file is for Windows only and has the file name anyconnect-profileeditor-win-<version>-k9.msi, where <version> is the AnyConnect version. For example, anyconnect-profileeditor-win-4.3.04027-k9.msi. You must also install Java JRE 1.6 (or higher) before installing the profile editor. Obtain the AnyConnect profile editor from https://software.cisco.com/download/home/283000185 in the AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client category.
- Use the profile editor to create the profiles you need. You should specify the hostname or IP address of the outside interface in the profile. For detailed information, see the editor’s online help.
