AnyConnect 3.1 - removing Security Warning: Untrusted VPN Server Certificate!

Hi guys,
Is there a way to disable the warning generated from using self signed certs?
I would like to make the process as seamless as possible.
AnyConnect 3.1
ASA 8.4(2)
Thanks.

Hi,
We had problem with the above error message with our certificate when we moved to AnyConnect 3.1
We were instructed to request a new one
Also here is the link to Cisco site we were provided that explains the changes in 3.1
IPSec and SSL connections require server certificates to contain Key Usage attributes of Digital Signature and Key Encipherment, as well as an Enhanced Key Usage attribute of Server Authentication or IKE Intermediate. Note that IPSec server certificates not containing a Key Usage are considered invalid for all Key Usages, and similarly an IPSec server certificate not containing an Enhanced Key Usage is considered invalid for all Enhanced Key Usages.

Security warning for any connect VPN " Untrusted VPN server Certificate"

Is there any way to disable this security warning ( " Untrusted VPN server Certificate") with self sign certificate on the ASA

Hi Anton,
Please have a look at the link below:
http://docs.acl.com/ex/300/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.acl.ax.exception.installguide%2Fexception%2Finstallation%2Ft_installing_the_self-signed_certificate.html
This is for IE. You should get steps for FF and CHROME out there easily as well.

Untrusted VPN Server Certificate

We just upgraded our AnyConnect to Ver 3.1.01065 and we are using a self signed cert with it. We haven't had any issues with the before but now when ever a customer logs on to the VPN using AnyConnect we get " Security warning: Untrusted VPN Server Certificate!" and it says that AnyConnect cannot verify the VPN server.
Then i can connect anyways or cancel.
Because this is my server and i trust the cert i am fine just clicking Connect anyways. My customers freak out a bit when they see this, I know this has to be a simple fix but i can't figure out how to get my local boxes to trust the cert. Has anyone run in to this with Ver 3.1.01065 and how did you fix it?
Thanks,
Jeremy

Cisco is really trying to make people stop using self-signed certificates with AC 3.1. You have to either use a trusted root CA (either private or public) or turn off the certificate checking altogether.

Cisco AnyConnect::How to hide "Security Warning : Untrusted Certificate"

Untrusted VPN Server Blocked after a reload

Hi
I have an ASA5510 in failover, after a reload, a message "Untrusted VPN Server Blocked" appears after the first attempt to connect to the VPN, if we uncheck the "Block connections to untrusted servers" in preference settings the profile is updated and the connection is successful.
If I disconnect the VPN and try again it appears another profile.
I try this step for another link, but the result is the same for me
Try the following steps,
1. Click on Anyconnect Client profile
2. Edit Anyconnect_Group profile
3. Edit Server list
4. Add or Edit the hostname (You will see IP address, however, your cert is URL address ) So you have to add it or delete the IP address and keep URL )
5. Host display: Remote.exmaple.com and FQDN: Remote.example.com
** Your cert that you applied for the interface must match the URL otherwise it won't work. So you can make your Cert
(( *.example.com )) and it should match any URL you give
Does anyone knows what could be the cause of this problem?
Regards

Ricardo,
it sounds like you don't have a certificate installed on the ASA, so the ASA uses a non-persistent self-signed certificate.
This doc explains how to create a persistent self-signed certificate:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6120/products_configuration_example09186a00808efbd2.shtml
Better still would be to purchase a 'real' certificate from a 3rd party CA, the doc below has more details on how to do this:

How to uninstall/remove security update for SQL Server 2012

My requirement is to uninstall/remove security update for SQL
Server 2012 Service Pack 1 only. so are these below steps are correct or do I need to take any extra precaution for uninstallation?
Go to Control panelàProgramsà
Programs and FeaturesàInstalled Updrtes, right click on update and uninstall
As per my knowledge in SQL Server 2005, we cannot uninstall a service pack. we have to uninstall SQL Server 2005 completely, and reinstall SQL Server 2005 with previous service
packs and updates. but Starting SQL Server 2008, we can uninstall a service pack using Control Panel.

Automate VPN server certificate distribution

Hi!
I'm using SSTP VPN for remote access which needs VPN server certificate to be trusted.
For domain computers I just deploy Root CA certificate with group policy.
I would like to automate installation of the certificate for non domain joined computers cause it's a bit tricky for some users to import certificate to Computer store. :)
Does anyone have any ideas how to do this?
Regards, Alexey

Hi Alexey,
As far as I know, we can't install the certificate into workgroup computer automatically.
As a work around, we can import the certificate by powershell script.
Here is the powershell command used to import the certificate,
Import-Certificate [-FilePath] <String> [-CertStoreLocation <String> ] [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [ <CommonParameters>]
For detailed information, please refer to the link below,

How to remove security warning from silent print

Hi everybody,
All is in the question ...
From a web application i can print a document but every time that open a popup with a warning. I have to click ok before printing.
I just like to remove this warning.
Thank for your help.

Silent printing can only be triggered from a trusted function (batch/menu scripts or the console). Calling the doc.print() function from anything else will always show the dialog, it's a security feature to prevent malicious files from spooling a billion-page job without the user realizing.

Security warning wants to install certification for a remote computer

Every bootup, before opening anything, i get a Security Warning that a "oracle" certificate wants to install for a remote computer to access my machine. I always click no, having no idea what this is, and I certainly do not want to allow a remote computer to access. I have screen shots of the details but I don't see how to attach a jpg here. I've searched the registry and startup items and nothing resembles my issue. Please note this does not occur when opening IE or FF, but as soon as Windows loads the desktop screen, as if the registry is triggering this cert.

Many thanks. I am somewhat experienced in editing the registry, and know where all the 'run' and 'runonce' strings are located. I have searched them all. I have also searched the reg for terms used in the security warning. I've run CC cleaner, malwarebytes, norton security, and two online security sites, and they call come back normal. No problems.
But I reboot and there is the warning, telling me that an Oracle certificate wants to install to enable a remote computer access. Of course I click NO, but I cannot find how to kill the beast.

How to disable Java Security Warning

Hello Friends
I am running different versions of JRE on a machine due to specific application exigencies.
However I noticed that when entering on the application using the lower JRE Version,the following warning message is being obtained.
The application requires an earlier version of Java.Do you want to continue.
I have searched on the net..and someone advised to disable next generation Java Plug in.Apparently it solves the issue.
But I see several advantages we get by enabling this option.Can we disable it or any other way..I can avoid seeing this warning message.
Regards
Kam.

Hi Stuart,
in Security Warning is text "The certificate used to identify this application has expired". When selected "More Information" -> "View Certificate Details" an certificate for SAP America Inc is visible. Validity of certificate is:
[From: Thu Sep 12 03:00:00 EEST 2013,
To: Fri May 30 02:59:59 EEST 2014]
When I open Router Maintenance in another SAP ME installation validity of certificate is:
[From: Thu May 27 03:00:00 EEST 2010,
To: Sun May 27 02:59:59 EEST 2012]
Where this certificate is located in application server? Is it in code of SAP ME in application server?
Is it not possible to renew certificate?`
Regards,
- Jukka

Removing the "Security Warning" dialogue box on default when a PDF is opened

Hey
I have created a pdf document with a specific data written using iText Libraries. I have actually created a beacon that generates a notification sent to the owner's email when the pdf is opened.
The code is under OpenAction. The problem I am facing is that as I open the document, a dialogue box is opened saying "Security Warning" The document is trying to connect to : URL. How do I get rid of this dialogue box. ? I don't want this dialogue box to appear and allow the connection by default. I have tried playing with the Trust Manager - but that doesn't seem to be the solution, as am trying to execute my PDF document at a remote machine.

There was a lot of media fuss years back when it was found out that PDF files could "phone home", i.e. do what you want to do. So Adobe put this warning in. It wouldn't be much good as a warning if the creator of a PDF could choose to turn it off!
Document creators like to track people opening documents. Privacy advocates consider this a breach of privacy. The latter group shouts louder. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoning_home

How to disable IE Security Warning on opening a "local" visio file with Visio Viewer ActiveX?

Hello all,
Everyone knows that Microsoft released ActiveX based Visio Viewer for free and allow the users to open Visio drawing and view/print via IE browser.
The problem that I am facing is that some users are complaining about IE browser's security warning on "active content to run in files on My Computer".
It means that opening .VSD files from the network, internet, intranet would be all OK but if the user wants to open .VSD files from the local hard drive (or open it as a mail attachment, which will extract it to a temp folder), it prompt the user to select "Allow Blocked Content" EVERYTIME they open them.
I know that I can GLOBALLY disable this warning by going through Tools - Internet Options - Security section and enable "Allow active content to run in files on My Computer" but I hope that there is a way (or workaround) to allow them by file type or location, etc.
Questions:
1. Is there any way to disable those warning for all .VSD only while we still UNCHECK the option on Internet Options?
2. Is there any 3rd party Win32 based viewer which wouldn't have those restriction?
3. Is it safe assumption that McAfee VirusScan and Host IPS protection is sufficient enough to remove the IE's security warning feature?
Thanks in advance?
Young-

Are you able to host/launch the VSD file via an HTM page? In that case you can format the HTM page as shown below. This will trick IE into thinking it is loading the file off of a website. Commonly called 'mark of the web'.

Removing the 'Warning Java Applet' Status Bar

Hi,
I've written an applet that does not require access outside the sandbox so doesn't need signing. However, it pops up an instance of Window, and because it's not signed the window has a status bar across the bottom which says 'Warning Java Applet' or something similar depending on the browser. Is there any way to remove this status bar without signing the applet or changing the security settings of the browser. I guess it must be added to the window so maybe it's just a component that can be removed, but how?
Thanks in advance

Today the Security Warning sign appeared at the bottom of my computer screen - how do I get rid of it. I do have Java whose icon used to be in the lower right hand section of my screen - along with all the other icon programs that I have.
Now the icon is no longer down on the bottom right of the screen, but in the middle with a Security Warning -(the wording) next to the jave icon.
This is really annoying me - how can I get rid of it, and - why did it appear here?
Anxiously awaiting your reply.

Desktop and startup shortcuts produce security warning

I have a laptop running Windows 8.1 Pro with all updates installed. It's a domain member and the primary user was using redirected folders which worked well. Due to other reasons, the user's account was removed from the OU linked to with the redirected folders
GPO. open file security warning The GPO was setup for Desktop and My Documents so that when the policy was removed the files would revert to the local PC. For some odd reason the Favorites was not that way but configured to leave them on the server. I discovered
that only after the user's account had been moved out of that OU and the laptop rebooted and the user logged in.
So the user got her desktop and documents folders back just fine. But even though I changed the GPO to revert the Favorites back to the local PC of course it didn't even after I rebooted a few more times. So when the Favorites icon in IE was clicked,
favo0rites were still pointing to the server. I had to go through the registry and change the entries for that user's profile to point to the proper folder on the local PC.
However after I did that then something else showed up. Now when she clicks on the IE shortcut which is pinned to the taskbar or any application shortcut on the desktop or when she logs in and the startup program run, they all produce the Open File - Security
Warning box so she has to click OK for each one. I've tried looking up this problem but none of the fixes work for this case or I'm not going to lower the IE security.
Oddly, the Microsoft Office shortcuts pinned on the taskbar don't produce the security window but open up the program. It only seems to happen with shortcuts to programs that I create. Also I can take those shortcuts, copy them to another folder outside
of the user's profile and there is no security warning. So it's only within the profile that this happens.
Anyone have an idea what is wrong and how to fix it? I don't see how my changing the path to the Favorites folder in a few places in the registry could have done this but I don't see what else since it didn't occur until after I made the registry changes.
Jonathan

Why not use RegShot to capture registry changes after favorites folder was modified.

Open File - Security Warning with Network-based Silent Install of CS4

I am attempting to run an enterprise deployment of CS4 Design Standard Edition onto a pool of WinXP Pro workstations. I placed all of the install files on a networked server running Windows 2003, and generated from there all of the requisite .xml files (install, uninstall, and override files). From this network share, I can successfully run a silent install.
HOWEVER. Multiple times (two or three) during the course of the silent install, I receive the same pop-up security warning from Windows XP (definitely an OS message, not anti-virus or other) that reads as follows:
Open File - Security Warning
Do you want to run this file?
Name: AIRApplicationRunner.exe
Publisher: Adobe Systems Incorporated
Type: Application
From: (server IP address)
I have tried excluding Adobe Air from the installation package, but I still receive the same security prompt. This is sufficiently a hassle to have to click through these prompts in a silent install. But more importantly I am unable to run the silent install as part of a logoff script because for all intents & purposes it is no longer a silent install (i.e. it requires user intervention). To top it off, I found when testing the logoff script the prompts are suppressed and the installation fails prior to the bulk of the installation (Photoshop, Illustrator, & InDesign).
I'm sure that I could run the install by copying all of the files to each local workstation, but again that would defeat the purpose of an easy, network-based install. In the past I was able to install CS3 in this fashion with no troubles, which of course did not include Adobe Air.
Can anybody offer a suggestion as to how to disable these security messages, or alternately, how to entirely exclude Adobe Air from the install package? I have found a VB script that is supposed to address the security warnings issue, but to run the script also requires the user to accept it at a security prompt.
Thanks in advance for any assistance!
-Dan

I'm now able to deploy design suite premium cs4 successfully.
The issue for me was that the AirapplicationRunner installs some useless software. I worked around the issue with the Airapplicationrunner prompt by removing any apps that are installed using that method. By "removing" I mean marking that app as "donotinstall" in the deployment file. The apps I removed are these adobe codes for adobe media player, adobe.com, adobeair itself. The below is from my deploy.xml file used for the silent workflow:
donotinstall
donotinstall
donotinstall
If you mark those three adobe codes as "donotinstall" the prompt never appears and the real apps get installed just fine.
