Anyconnect xml profile

I have anyconnect installed on my win7 PC but I am not able to locate xml profile file. Any clue where I should look for that?
I have already checked under Anyconnect installation folder and could not find it.

Hi,
Try these (depending on if you have the "old" or new AnyConnect Client)
C:\ProgramData\Cisco\Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client
C:\ProgramData\Cisco\Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Cisco\Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client\
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Cisco\Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client\
username = your username naturally

Anyconnect XML Profile Certificate Matching - Multiple Certs different Issuer

Hi Guys
I am trying to setup an xml profile for cisco anyconnect that will look at multiple certificates that could be issued from 2 different CA's.....
Currently having trouble setting this up and it does not look like it is possible..
Is there a way around this?
Regards
Mohamed

The AnyConnect client supports the following certificate match types. Some or all of these may be used for client certificate matching. Certificate matching are global criteria that can be set in an AnyConnect profile. The criteria are:
â¢Key Usage
â¢Extended Key Usage
â¢Distinguished Name

How to install .xml profiles for Anyconnect for Mac??

Hi,
I have AnyConnect 3.0.4235 installed on my Mac (OS X Mountain Lion), and my company uses .xml profile files so that the list of sites to connect to is autopopulated when you run the client.
I know where they go on Windows boxes, but have never done this on a Mac and have no idea where these .xml files should go. I tried putting them in the following location: opt/cisco/anyconnect/profile but when I run AnyConnect the "Connect to" box is still blank.
Does anybody know where these should go? Is there something else I need to do that I'm missing?

You have the right place for the xml file but the user preferences is a file in /Users/username/.anyconnect

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.
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/security/asa-5500-x-series-next-generation-firewalls/98580-enable-group-dropdown.html
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

AnyConnect 3.1.01065 error - Failed to install AnyConnect VPN Profile because of file move error. A VPN connection cannot be established.

I've got a user running:
AnyConnect 3.1.01065
on
Windows 7 64bit.
Several weeks ago she started encountering the following error:
-after logging into Windows and launching the AnyConnect client, she enters her username and password and successfully authenticates.
-the connection is not established and she's presented with the following message: "Failed to install AnyConnect VPN Profile because of file move error. A VPN connection cannot be established."
After doing some troubleshooting, inlcuding uninstalling/reinstalling the anyconnect client, it seems the culprit is the following file:
C:\ProgramData\Cisco\Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client\Profile\<filename>.xml. When the problem occurs (which is not regularly, sometimes it occurs daily, sometimes just once a week) examining that file indicates it has no security or permissions set. Quitting the AnyConnect software, modifying the file so that the user has full control of it, then relaunching AnyConnect fixes the problem (until it happens again). Uninstalling, and making sure to move C:\ProgramData\Cisco to the trash, then reinstalling did not seem to help.
The closest match in these forums is the following thread, https://supportforums.cisco.com/message/3760446 - though no clear resolution was given.
Has anyone else encountered this, and been able to fix it?
Thanks much.

Just FYI, it seems at least in this case, purging all the previous system restore points seems to have resolved this issue...

ASDM Anyconnect client profile - unable to edit preferences

Hi,
I have a functioning vpn set up, my problem is that I'm trying to set up anyconnect start before login. I navigate to the anyconnect client profile section in the remote access vpn and create a profile xml file by clicking the add button. I can add a profile but as soon as I save the file I can no longer edit it. The edit button is greyed out and if I double click the file the asdm returns the error: "Input is not a well-formed, schema-compliant XML file."
I'm running the following versions of software:
asdm: 7.1(5)100
anyconnect: 3.1.05152
asa: 8.2(3) <----asa hardware doesn't support running a newer version.
I have not been able to find any info on this particular problem but maybe someone here can help?

Hello Ryan,
Do you run into the same problem if you upload AnyConnect 2.5 and perform the same task?
Also, have you tried this operation from a different machine with and old JAVA version like 1.6?

Assigning AnyConnect Client Profiles based on the machine?

I have an ASA running 8.2.x code with AnyConnect 2.4.x.I have both Radius and LDAP (AD) AAA available.
If a user connects from a company owned laptop, I want to push down AnyConnect client ProfileA (with scripts to map drives etc...) and network ACL's set A.
If a user connects from any other computer, I want to push down AnyConnect client ProfileB (no scripts etc...) and network ACL's set B.
What I would like to do is CSD to do a machine certificate check (for presence of a cert from my private CA) and to assign a EndPoint Policy attribute (Managed on successful check or Unmanaged on failure). I can then use DAP to tailor the ACL's that get set.
It seems like the only way to handle AnyConnect client profiles is with Group-Policy. Using LDAP I can assign a user to a Group-Policy, but I have no way of determining is they are coming in from a company laptop or not when assigning the Group-Policy. DAP can not assign an AnyConnect client profile.
If at all possible, I do not users to have to pick a conenction profile or use different URL's.
Is there anyway to accomplish this?

Hi
Did you ever resolve this issue? I am trying to assign a specific IP address based on the hostname or machine cert but the certificate matching doesn't seem to look at the machine cert.
Has anyone got any idea how I could do this?
thanks

"Anyconnect client profile" option missing in ASDM

Hello,
I'm in the process of setting up Anyconnect on the ASA, and have successfully updated the licensing, as well as uploaded the anyconnect pkg for web deployment. I enabled anyconnect on the outside interface and can now have the ASA push the client to the machine. Works fine. However, I want to add backup servers that the client will attempt to reach in the event the primary is down. I understand that "client profiles" can be created to customize settings like this. Problem is, when I follow the configuration guide with instructions for making client profiles at this location:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/vpn_client/anyconnect/anyconnect30/administration/guide/ac02asaconfig.html#wp1289905
It shows that I should have an option for Anyconnect Client Profile and Anyconnect Client Settings.
I don't have either of those options in ASDM. Here's what mine shows:
I have another "SSL Client profiles" option, but it doesn't seem the same as the options above.
Can someone assist with what I need to do to get the Client Profiles option to be available so I can add backup server information to the client? Thanks!

Thanks for the response Marvin,
It shows the ASA and ASDM versions are 8.2 and 6.2 respectively.
Result of the command: "sh version"
Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance Software Version 8.2(1)
Device Manager Version 6.2(1)
Result of the command: "sh act | i Ess"
AnyConnect Essentials : Enabled
I don't have the premium license, just the Anyconnect Essentials and Mobile licenses. I would imagine essentials should have the same profile configuration options, though. If it is in fact because I'm running an older version of ASDM, do I need to update both the ASA IOS and ASDM together, or can I just upgrade ASDM on its own? Thanks again.

AnyConnect Client Profile Backup Server Configuration

I'm trying to understand the use of Backup Server option in AnyConnect Client Profile
Configuration > Remote Access VPN > Network (Client) Access > AnyConnect Client Profile > Edit > Backup Server
(Screenshot attached)
My questions:
1. In what all scenarios do we add servers (ASA devices) in this tab
2. If I have same information in two different locations (Site A and Site B) for AnyConnect user, can I add Site A-ASA and Site B-ASA into Backup Server tab as a failover mechanism for end user.
3. Or is it only used to mention ASA devices configured in failover unit
4. In case of failover unit, does it support stateful failover
I could not find answers to above questions from Google search. So, asking here

I think we need to be careful when we talk about failover. The original post was clearly asking about two different scenarios
1) ASAs at two different sites
2) ASAs configured as a High Availability failover pair (Active/Standby).
The profile does work to provide failover in 1) but does not work to provide failover in 2).
I do not know the authoritative answer to the question about IP phones use of the profile. I believe that the answer ought to be that yes the phone would receive the profile after its first connection and would use the backup server identified in the profile is the primary server was not available. That is a basic functionality of the AnyConnect client and if the phone is using the AnyConnect client then it ought to support that failover.
If someone does have an authoritative answer then please speak up. Several of us would like to know the right answer here.

AnyConnect Client Profile in ASDM

I am trying to configure a client profile under the AnyConnect Client Profile tab in the ASDM but keep getting an error message stating "Check that you have a proper AnyConnect package installed in the AnyConnect Client Software menu. Also check that your ASDM username have enough privelege."
My user has sufficient privilege but I am not sure which AnyConnect software I should have to enable this. Righ now I have
anyconnect-win-3.0.10055-k9.pkg installed.
This is a lab setup using GNS3.
Any ideas?

Hi Marius,
I would assume you are running ASA 8.0x, right?
Please check this out:
"If you wish to use the ASDM-integrated Profile Editor to configure any of AnyConnect's components, you must use ASDM version 6.4(1) or later."
Security Appliance Software Requirements
So at this point, I would suggest to try to upgrade your ASDM to 6.4 or try with AnyConnect 2.5.
Let me know.
Thanks.

ADSM AnyConnect Client Profile Editor will not close...

When I fire up ADSM and go into the AnyConnect Client Profile Editor It will not let me close the Editor.
If I go it and jsut hit cancel, or OK, or the X, nothing happens. The only way to exit is to Close down Java.
I've run ADSM on a few machines all with the same results.
ADSM Version 6.3(4)
Thanks

I Upgraded to ADSM 7.1(2)
This resolved my issue.

Securing multiple AnyConnect connection profiles

Hello,
Here is our scenario. We have three (3) separate AnyConnect connection profiles each with different levels of access enforced through ACL filters. We have aliases configured for each connection profile in order for each group member to be able to choose his group when logging in to AnyConnect. Authentication is done via LDAP to one single server/domain instance on which all users have accounts. Given our scenario and without using multi factor authentication, is there any way to keep a user from logging in to a connection profile in the AnyConnect client which he shouldn't have access to?
Thanks,
-Mike

Dear Marvin,
I have a similar situation where i have diferent connection profile and group policies where i apply acl where each profile
has access to different resources.
My question would be. Is there any possibility to allow only specific real IP addresses to initiate VPN session to the firewall.
regards
Nehat

Anyconnect created profile not shown in connection list, especially the wireless profiles.

Dears,
Kindly advise as we encounter anyConnect issue, when creating profile for using with ISE, the new created profile is not shown in the connection list.
I’m using profile editor to create profile for EAP-Fast, the issue is that the profile that was created not shown in the connection list.
i put the xml file in the correct location
C:\ProgramData\Cisco\Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client\Network Access Manager\newConfigFiles
in windows 7.
it is shown in saved networks but not shown in the connection list.
we tried profile editor version 4 but the same issue still exist.

Locking down anyconnect client profile

I was wondering if there is a way to lock down the anyconnect profile on a clients machine. Basically we are using certifcates to authenticate so the client can make a VPN connection. We have enabled the certifcate match function to check for IPSec User Extended Match Key. I can modify the XML on the client PC to bypass the check and authenticate. We would like to keep users from doing that. Is there something I can setup on the ASA versus the client to check the certificate or prevent the XML from being modified?
Thanks in advance.

I went in and modified the xml and removed the following. I was then able to make a connection without checking for the IPSecUser extended key usage. I have 2 certs on my client. One cert has the IPSecUser extended key usage and the other does not.
