Anyconnect Client profile files deleted after client upgrade

L.S.
I am running anyconnect version 3.1.02040 on a Windows 7 64-bit machine with UAC turned on.
The ASA I am connecting to is a 5510 running ASA OS 8.4.5
The problem I have is the following:
We are using machine certificate authentication combined with RADIUS user authentication.
The machine certificates are stored in the Machine/Personal container in the local machine.
By default, the anyconnect client does not have the rights to access this certificate store when run by the user in non-elevated mode.
We do not want to have the user run the client as administrator (in elevated mode) all the time.
Therefor we have made an Anyconnect Client profile that sets the Certificate Store Override parameter to true and attached it to the group policy.
With this XML in place (in the C:\ProgramData\Cisco\Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client\Profile folder)
the users can connect to the ASA and authenticate using the certificate without the need for elevated rights. This is all working perfectly.
The anyconnect client and XML file are distributed to the clients using a software distribution system (Microsoft SCCM).
The problem happens when I update the Anyconnect package on the ASA. I recently updated the package to release 3.1.03103. This is what happens:
The user can connect using the 3.1.02040 client (certicate authentication works without elevation, since the XML Anyconnect Client Profile is present)
The Anyconnect software updates itself to the new version during the connection, pushed from the ASA.
The VPN is established.
However, the XML file that is associated with the group policy is deleted during the upgrade process and not placed back in the Profile folder on the client after the upgrade.
This means the user cannot connect without using elevated rights the next time he wants to connect.
If he uses elevated rights after the upgrade, the XML is pushed back from the ASA normally, allowing the user to connect without elevation again any subsequent times.
Is there any way to push the XML profile to the client from the ASA after the upgrade of the Anyconnect software?

Hi poiu720408 ,
1.  You need to set up a web-url or group-alias under the group policy as web have enable the "tunnel-group-list enable" under the webvpn configuration.  So once the user connect to the proper URL/alias the profile will be applied.

2. Yes the Anycopnnect store a "Cache " information on the PC , if you want to clan up you have to go to the anyconnect folder on C: on the PC and delete the global_preferences.xml profile.
3. This behavior is totally expected and they should disappear  after a some minutes , however if you wan to force this , you can use the command "vpn-sessionsdb logoff webvpn noconfirm"
Please rate helpful post !
Hope this helps

  • Spotlight Indexing, Systemstats, Missing File, All After Mavericks Upgrade

    Dear Mac Support Communities,
    The upgrade to OS X 10.9.4 has crippled my computer.
    My main question is: should I reformat, or should I wait for a patch to come out to solve whatever is wrong with Mavericks? I explain below.
    Spotlight is constantly indexing. The mdworker is all over the place on the Activity Monitor—4% and then it explodes to 85% of CPU usage. Systemstats kicks in randomly (connected to spotlight perhaps?) and eats up 90% of my CPU and 3gigs of RAM. Time Machine takes AGES to backup.
    I have not been able to stop Spotlight's endless indexing. I have moved my hard drive and my Time Machine backup into the 'private' filter in 'Spotlight Preferences.' I have also tried the "sudo mdutil -a -i off" trick to stop indexing altogether. But Spotlight Indexing goes "off" and then automatically turns "on" in Terminal. Spotlight carries on, and the computer performance is choppy.
    I've run disk repair. First, I repaired permissions. Then I verified and attempted to repair the the hard drive. There is a missing file apparently, and I therefore must reformat. This is very first issue I've ever had with the hard drive since I bought the computer. Considering how awful Mavericks has been—I have been reading other Support Communities posts—I'm nervous about something going wrong, or that all these problems will persist after the reformat.
    All of this has occurred three days after my upgrade to to OS X 10.9.4. I have heard of numerous people having problems with Mavericks. All similar problems concerning missing files, haywire spotlight, systemstats devouring any remaining CPU power and memory space, and slow Time Machine back-ups.
    Anyone with the same problems? Care to theorize some solutions?
    I have a late 2008, 15inch MacBook Pro., 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3, running OS X 10.9.4 (13E28).
    Cheers! I appreciate the help.

    Older Macs have more troubles under Mavericks. Considering the age of your Mac, it's not uncommon to start have hardware issues like drive failure.
    To repair the drive you must boot from the Recovery Drive.
    Boot into the Recovery Drive by holding down Command R when restarting.
    Run Repair Drive and Repair Permissions using Disk Utility in Recovery.***
    Next Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs following directions here This will serve two purposes. It will reset YOUR permissions. Not the same as Disk Utility reset permissions and it will cause Spotlight to re-index your drive when restarting.
    Restart
    Download and run the combo updater to refresh your OS X files.
    OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 Update (Combo)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1755
    MORE INFO ON WHY RUNNING COMBO FIXES ISSUES
    Apple updates available from the Software Update application are incremental updates. Delta updates are also incremental updates and are available from Apple Downloads (software updates are generally smaller than delta updates). The Combo updates contain all incremental updates and will update files that could have become corrupted.
    Combo updaters will install on the same version as they're applying--no need to roll back or do a clean install.
    "Delta" updaters can only take you from one version to the next. For example: 10.9.3 to 10.9.4. If somehow the 10.9.3 is missing something it should have, and that something isn't changed between 10.9.3 and 10.9.4 it will still be stale after the delta update.
    ***If Disk Utility is unable to repair you will have to copy your data to an external drive first. Reformatting will erase the drive. You should have a backup regardless, if your data is important to you. Just like a seat belt and an air bag protect you in different ways when driving, you need both Time Machine and a clone for full protection. If you don't have an external drive for backup, I can give you some suggestions to get you started.
    Both of these applications can be used to create a clone.

  • Keynote files deleting after update to 10.8.4

    I performed a small edit to a Keynote file today after updating to 10.8.4 last night (used the combo updater).  The file crashed during a presentation and I though "no big deal, I'll just re-open it."  When I went to find it, it was completely gone.  Vanished.
    I booted up Time Machine back at the office, restored the file, and chalked it up to some fluke.  Then I edited a different Keynote file.  It kept popping error messages about not being able to locate media files and I eventually closed it.  Again, I went to find the orginal file to re-open and it too has dissappeared.  This time, Time Machine wouldn't even let me restore it from a backup.
    I ran disk utility and it found minor errors in the volume bitmap and free space remaining.  So I booted to the recorvery partition and repaired successfully.
    I'm up and running again, but my Keynote file is still missing.  I'm afraid to open Keynote again for fear of this happening again.
    Is there any known issue with 10.8.4 corrupting the file system, particulary when opening and editing Keynote files?
    (15 " Retina MBP, latest model with 768 GB)

    GordonGecko9:
    - First, make sure you back up all remaining Keynote presentations. Hopefully, you have a backup of the one that got deleted.  I had to get a copy from another folder. Once the file was deleted, Time Machine suddenly thought it was never there in the first place too.  That's right, the deleted file was also deleted from Time Machine--even months back.
    - Once you have backups of your files, run Disk Utility and see if there are any errors.  I had a few, so booted into the Recovery partition and repaired.
    - Remove all your Keynote .plist files from the directory: /Users/your username/Library/Preferences.  Your Library folder will be hidden unless you hold the OPTION key and then select the GO menu at the top.  You can just move these files out of that folder and keep them elsewhere if you want them again.
    - Check your console log to see if any errors were reported about the time of the crash.  I had some message about Flip4Mac confilciting with another video codec, so I deleted Flip4Mac.  Not sure if it mattered, but I didnt' really need it anyway.
    - Since you have backups of your files now, you can start playing around with Keynote again to see if your problem is solved.  Here is what I found:
    > After deleting the .plist files, I sill had issues after editing presenations.  The changes would take, but then when I went to save the file, I got an error message that the location couldn't be found.  When I chose "Save As" isntead, Keynote crashed.  However, when I rellaunced Keyonte, the file was saved in its orginal location. (Before I deleted the .plist files, the presenation was gone after Keynote crashed).
    > Subsequent edits and saves worked normally on the same file.  As I opened other presenations from the same folder in the finder, I got the same errors (crashing and file not saving).  But then, upon relaunch everything seemed fine.
    It seems that something with 10.8.4 is causing directory errors with Keynote files.  When you go to save an edited presenation, it gets confused about where to put it and the file gets deleted instead.
    Please keep me posted on if the above "fix" works for you and if you notice anything else.

  • Music Files Deleted After Hard Disk Failure and First Sync After Hard Disk

    Hi,
    I recently had a hard disk failure and lost all of the data on my hard drive. I replaced the hard drive and reinstalled all of the software including iTunes. I am running Windows XP Home. The first time I plugged my iPod Nano into my computer after the hard drive replacement it synced to iTunes and since iTunes had no music files it deleted all of the music files on my Nano. How do I get them back and why on earth would iTunes do such a stupid thing??? My Nano contained many songs that I bought from iTunes and I want to get them back. I have found some third party software that will undelete the deleted files but it costs $69. I don't feel that I should have to pay to correct a defective feature in iTunes. Does Apple have an undelete utility? Can I redownload the songs that I purchased from iTunes?

    *The first time I plugged my iPod Nano into my computer after the hard drive replacement it synced to iTunes*
    When you connected did you get a message that your iPod was linked to another library, and then press Erase and Sync? When an iPod is set to update automatically and you connect to a computer with an empty iTunes and accept the message above it will erase the originals completely (as you have discovered). Also as you've seen, none of the recovery programs are particularly cheap so you have to decide if in your particular circumstances it's worth it to get your songs back. It may be if you have a lot of purchased tracks which you will have to pay to download again. If they came primarily from your CDs then it's most likely not as you can re-rip them.
    *Can I redownload the songs that I purchased from iTunes?*
    If you didn't make a back-up of your purchases to restore from then I'm sorry to say that the policy on lost purchases is that you have to pay to download them again:
    "Once a Product is purchased and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage." iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
    You could try contacting the iTunes Music Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. If you click on any of the links on this page you'll find a space at the bottom to email your query: iTMS Customer Service

  • Mail Profiles Being Deleted After Office 2010 to 2013 Deployment

    I am deploying Outlook 2013 to user in our environment that has Outlook 2010 presently. Many users have additional attached mailboxes to their Outlook profile. After the deployment the default profile for Outlook in the Mail control panel is removed. Is
    there a way to make sure the profile and the user settings do not go away on an upgrade? I'm using a .msp created in the OCT to do this.
    Thanks!

    Did you retain the default settings in OCT for handling Outlook?
    By default, mail profile settings and data are migrated/preserved.

    Hi ,
    After Changing the RAM in SAP System ..
    1) Increase the No of Work Processes , If Required
    2) Increase the size of Memory Areas ( Size of Extended Memory) , If you face any Memory Dumps
    3) Increase the SAP Buffer Sizes ( Program Buffer etc.) to have better performance.
    But it is not compulsary that you should change these parameters but changing these Paramters Values will improve performance of SYstem

  • Data deleted after software upgrade

    Help!  I connected my iphone 3 into itunes and accepted the software upgrade on offer.  I now have lost ALL data incuding precious photos.  Don't care about message threads or settings, but I do care about photos.  I have imported my contacts back in from my SIM card but am at a loss as to how this happened when I just selected the standard prompts to update software.  I am using another PC as my regular PC is not working, so cannot get photos off that from my last syncing.  Thanks

    Well, some info:
    Apple assumes that all photos in the Photo Library you also have on your computer and thus it's no problem if the sync/update process deletes them, because you can re-sync them from your computer just like you did in the first place. This is true of all photos, video, music, which Apple calls "media". The iPhone is NOT a backup.
    Syncing with a new computer offers a warning that it is going to delete all media from the phone and replace it with media from the new computer, at which point you should have canceled. You are only allowed to sync media from one computer at a time.
    Syncing with a new computer should have backed up your phone first, and that would include the photos in the Camera Roll, that you took with the phone; but NOT the photos in the Photo Library, that you synced to the phone. The backup should also include data saved within apps. So you might be able to Restore from Backup to get some stuff back, or use a third-party utility to pull your Camera Roll photos from the backup file on the computer. Assuming iTunes backed up first.
    Failing that, I don't think I've heard of any way to undo loss of media due to syncing with a new computer. You might ask google.

  • Postgres_reg.ini file deleted after ininstalling enterpriseDB postgres

    Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) Server...After uninstalling the enterprisedb version of postgreSQL **after** the postgres installer failed, the postgres-reg.ini file was deleted. I now need a copy of the original /etc/postgres-reg.ini file. I would normally simply copy it from my original installation, however, this is no longer possible with the App Store Installer as I cannot simply reinstall the software. If someone could simply copy the contents of their /etc/postgres-reg.ini file and post it as an answer to this thread...I will make the necessary changes and place the file back in its proper place. Thanks in advance.

    Was this ever resolved?  I just updated to OSX Server 4.1 and it appears to write to this file every 10 seconds.  My file is only 3GB in size, but it gets backed up every hour!
    I deleted all the files in /Library/Server/Wiki/Logs from all Time Machine backups which freed up 160GB on my backup disk.  Looks like I'll have to do this every so often.
    Regards, Patrick

  • Pictures deleted after doing upgrade on 3G Iphone

    I did an upgrade on my 3G iphone on Friday.  After doing the updrade I realized my pictures, my calendar events and my contacts, etc were erased.  Cannot find a backup on itunes.  Is there anyway to retrieve my deleted pictures?

    Photos in the Camera Roll can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. The Camera Roll is for temporary storage only. When there are photos in the Camera Roll, your iPhone is also detected as a digital camera when connected to your computer.
    Photos in the Camera Roll are included with the iPhone's backup but if there is no backup and you didn't import the photos with your computer especially before installing a firmware update, the photos are gone.
    Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer. Not a good idea to depend on an iPhone or any cell phone alone for contacts which can be lost or stolen. The same for calendar events.
    Contacts and calendar events are included with your iPhone's backup as well but if there is no backup and you weren't syncing contacts and calendar events with a supported app on your computer, this data is gone as well.

  • Application's jar files deleted after Windows XP power failure

  • Why does iMovie file stutter after QuickTime upgrade from 6.5.2 to 7.1.3?

    I have a fifteen minute iMovie project that played fine with
    QT 6.5.2. About a year ago I upgraded to the, then, current QuickTime version - I think it was 7.0.1, or something - and this particular movie file began to playback erratically. A search of Discussions turned up the possibility that QT Version 7 did not work well with Panther. I deinstalled that version of QT and went back to 6.5.2 and the project again played back correctly and I have been happy until recently upgrading to the current version of QT (in order that songs and videos downloaded from iTunes Store will play, for one thing) hoping that the previous glitch might have been fixed. The same movie file that experienced the previous problem is again having fits. At this point in time it is difficult to re-install 6.5.2, nor do I really want to. Anybody have any suggestions on how to get this file to play correctly? Strangely, no other video files have been affected. They all play back correctly using QT 7.1.3 - the current version. What is it about that particular iMovie project?

    Erratic playback — sometimes called stutter — can occur in iMovie projects. It tends to be caused by the number of audio clips. But sometimes it's caused by a particular song.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2597033#2597033
    When it occurs because of a particular song, re-importing that song as described in that thread will usually fix the problem. Essentially, the fix involves using iTunes to burn the song onto a CD, then importing the CD AIFF file to the project.

  • Problems with contacts getting deleted after software upgrade!

    Somehow, my IPhone 4s had a software upgrade, and it DELETED contacts.  Anyone else have a problem with this????  UGH!
    I had a thunderbolt before my IPhone, and my contacts were saved to the verizon back up assistant.  They are now nowhere to be found!

    If you were already using iOS 5 where you using the iCloud feature to back up your device? If so, you should be able to retrieve your contacts. If you just upgraded to iOS 5 where you backing up your device on your computer via iTunes? You were advised to complete a backup prior to proceeding with the software update...if you did so then a copy of your back up should be available in iTunes. Try looking at the following link to see if it helps:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
    If you did not do a backup and you were not using iCloud to do backups then you would need re-sync your contacts from another source...did you use a contact manager on your computer (such as Outlook)? If you did then you can retrieve your contacts from there. Try looking at this link to see if it helps. If it is not the correct one you can do a search on that site to find the article that better fits your needs.

  • Unable to sync apps that were deleted after iTouch upgraded with new S/W

    After the iTouch software was spontaneously "upgraded", apps disappeared from the iTouch. Resetting the device did not help at all. The current state is that all apps show up in the Apps tab for the device, but everything appears to be greyed out. No boxes can be checked or unchecked, and so on.
    The "report a problem" feature on the purchase history page is now bogus. All it does is open an unhelpful self-help page in the web browser: http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/#app_store

  • Dock, Safari & Finder reset & files deleted after Parallels forced-quit

    Folks, I'm running Parallels build 1966 on my MacBook Pro & last night I had to force-quit the application afetr it stopped responding. This morning I found the dock reset to default, Finder, Expose & Safari preferences reset & my Paralles virtual machine files (main & backup) deleted from my user/library folder.
    My user account seems intact - bookmarks & passords still OK & I've tried running file salvage to recover the VM files but it doesn't recognise this file type. If this was a Wintel machine I'd suspect a virus but my Parallels VM files are protected with AVG.
    I've not had to hack a Mac yet, so any clues for recovery before I assume everything is lost & start rebuilding from scratch?
