Cisco AnyConnect VPN app on iPhone 4s won't connect

I have successfully installed the Cisco AnyConnect VPN app on my iPad Air and can connect to my target VPN. But the same app on my iPhone 4s won't work. When I try to connect I get this message: "Connect using Cisco AnyConnect App at least once before using any other App." I'm not trying to use another app, in fact I closed all other apps. I'm using the same settings as the Air. I tried with wi-fi, turned wi-fi off, location services on and off, etc. I'm on Verizon.
Has anyone got this to work on an iPhone?
Thanks

Although I agree that this is really a question for Cisco, finding/receiving an official answer there may take a while.
This app worked fine for me until I upgraded today - June 19, 2014 - the date of the release of Version 3.0.09430. After upgrade, I get the same message. The update note says "Apple IOS Connect On Demand Considerations - To ensure proper establish of Connect On Demand VPN tunnels after updating AnyConnect, users must manually start the Any Connect app and establish a connection. If this is not done, upon the next iOS system attempt to establish a VPN tunnel, the error message 'The VPN Connection requires an application to start up' will display."
But I too have tried various interpretations of that, and still get the error above quoted by azmilt.
It appears that either:
- the upgrade is faulty
- the version itself is faulty
- the directions for a proper upgrade need clarification
So if anyone has upgraded to this version, and made it work, I think that providing a procedure would help the community.

  • Cisco AnyConnect VPN won't install, says There is a newer version of the AnyConnect client already installed

    I had an issue with my Cisco Anyconnect VPN not working, so uninstalled it. I've tried a new install and now I get the message "There is a newer version of the AnyConnect client installed" and it won't tell me install it at all. I've gone through various recommendations on the site included this :-
    Go to "Regedit" and search for "Deterministic Networks" and delete it.
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SOFTWARE\Deterministic Networks
    Search with the following keywords in the registry, under "Uninstall" or  "Components" folders and delete any related entries.

  • Unable to unistall Cisco AnyConnect VPN - please help

    I have upgraded to Windows 8.1 preview on my Surface Pro. My Cisco AnyConnect VPN stopped working. When I uninstalled the software it left the ‘Cisco AnyConnect VPN Virtual Miniport Adapter for Windows x64’ under the network adapters in Device Manager. No matter what I do, I cannot uninstall it from there. I tried everything including uninstalling in safe mode. I says it uninstalled but still appears there. I believe because of this, my internet connection performance has decreased tremendously. It also disconnects and reconnects sometime after. My other computers work perfectly with maximum speed.
    Please Help.
    Thanks,
    Mike

  • My ipad 2 and iphone 4S won't connect to app store via wifi but will connect via 3g

    my ipad 2 and iphone 4S won't connect to app store via wifi but will connect via 3g - both are running 6.0.1 - I have tired several wifi networks but same result.

    Hi LandJ1980,
    I would recommend first trying these steps:
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    If that does not work, this article has some additional ideas to try, even though you are only seeing this with the App Store:
    Can't connect to the iTunes Store

    PUT THE CORRECT PASSWORD, OR ELSE YOU CAN UPDATE THROUGH ITUNES. GO TO APP SECTION ON YOUR ITUNES, CHECK FOR UPDATES, CLICK THE UPDATES OPTION, IT WILL GET DOWNLOADED, AND THEN SYNC.

  • Apps on iPhone 5 won't update with ios8

    My apps on iPhone 5 won't update after installation of ios8.

    Hi davieg502, 
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I know that it can be frustrating when your iTunes or App Stores do not function the way you would expect, especially with application updates. In this situation I would recommend the steps located in the attached article to start the troubleshooting process. 
    Can't connect to the iTunes Store
    Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
    Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time. 
    Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
    Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
    Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
    Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
    Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
    Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
    Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
    If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.
    Cheers,

  • Mail and SMTP server settings of ASA Certificate Authority for cisco anyconnect VPN

                       Dear All,
    i have the folloing case :
    i am using ASA as Certificate authority for cisco anyconnect VPN users,the authentication happens based on the local database of the ASA,
    i want to issue a new certificate every 72 hours for the users ,and i want to send the one time password via email to each user.
    so what the setting of the mail and smtp server should be ,
    was i understand i should put my smtp server ip address then i have to create the local users again under(Remte VPN VPN--Certificate management--Local certificate authority --Manage user Database) along with their email addresses to send the one time passsword to them via their emails.
    i sent the email manually ,hwo can automate sending the OTP to our VPN users automatically vi their emails?
    Best regards,

    Thanks Jennifer.
    I did manage to configure LDAP attribute map to the specific group policy.
    Nevertheless, I was thinking whether I can have fixed IP address tied to individual user.
    Using legacy Cisco VPN Client, I can do it using IPSEC(IKEv1) Connection profile, where I set Pre-Shared Key and Client Address Pools. Each Client Address Pools has only 1 fix IP address.
    Example: let say my username is LLH.
    Connection Profile for me is : LLH-Connection-Profile, my profile is protected by preshared key.
    Client Address Pool for me is : LLH-pool, and the IP is 172.16.1.11
    Only me know the preshared key and only me can login with my Connection Profile.
    Using AnyConnect, I have problem. User can use any connection profile because I cannot set preshared key for AnyConnect. In that case, I cannot control who can use my Connection Profile and pretend to be me.
    Example:
    AnyConnect Connection Profile for me is : LLH-Connection-Profile, without any password
    Client Address Pool for me is : LLH-pool, IP is 172.16.1.11
    Any body can use LLH-Connection-Profile, login with another user name, let say user-abc which is a valid user in LDAP server. In that case, ASA assign 172.16.1.11 to user-abc and this user-abc can access server which only allow my IP to access.
    I hope above description can paint the scenario clearer.
    Thanks in advance for all the help and comment given.

  • Problem using SunRay with Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client

    I am using Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client Version 2.5.3046
    I  have a PC and a SunRay connected to my router. I use VPN to connect my  SunRay and my PC to my work computer. My PC works fine, I am able to  connect to the internet and also run cisco VPN to connect to my work  computer. But when I try to use my SunRay, I get a window on the screen  with the message:
        VPN IKE Phase 1 agg I msg1This window  keeps moving around on the screen. I am not able to connect my SunRay  through VPN to my work computer. Any idea what could be wrong and how I  can fix this?

    2.2 is definitely better.
    On one PC, I'm fine. On another -- very similar -- it tells me it can't start the VPN even after uninstalling and re-installing and everything else I can think of, with plenty of re-boots inbetween.
    Aaaaarrrrrrggggggghhhh.

  • My Iphone 5 won't connect to my PC

    My Iphone 5 won't connect to my PC. When I plug it in to my PC nothing happens at all. My cord chargers on the charger so I dont think the cord could be the problem. Also I updated all my PC software, as well as my Iphone and still nothing. I tried plugging in my itouch to see if it would work and it does! So i think something with my phone is the problem! Please help!

    Hi,
    I have the same trouble. After reading many internet sites around this subject I found the following solution.
    Although apple explained that it is not necessary with the lightning connector to use it in a special direction this seems not to be true.
    I have just turned my connector by 180° and it is working again.
    Hopefully this direction does not fail too. There are only 2 possibilities

  • My iPhone 5 won't connect to my macbook pro retina over bluetooth?

    My iPhone 5 won't connect to my macbook pro retina over bluetooth?

    Ah, sure it actually won't.  I have the same problem, and I contacted Apple Support.  They told me that there is an incompatability between the iphone 5 and MacBook Pro Retina such that Bluetooth pairing is not possible.
    The Support Agent actually had the audacity to tell me this was part of the design of the OS on the MacBook Pro, like Windows people saying, "That's not a bug.  It's a feature!!"
    Personally, I think this is insane.  While I was trying to tether the iphone to the MacBook Pro retina for an internet connection, there are other reasons related to file transfers for which one would want to pair the iphone 5 with the MacBook Pro retina.
    I am hoping this "feature" is fixed in iOS 7, and/or in some dot release of Mac OS 10.8.
    By the way, the personal hotspot feature on my Verizon iphone 5 works great either via a wifi or USB connection.  There are occaisions, however, when one would 1) not have a USB cable, and/or 2) have another wifi relationship between the phone and a network that one would not want to have to "forget" in order for it not to connect to that wifi network.  The Macbook will not find the iphone as a wifi hotspot if the iphone is connected to wifi in the first place.  At least mine won't.

  • My iphone 4 won't connect to my mac. It says that I need to install the lastest version of itune (11.1) but when I try to update itunes it says that I have the current version 10.6.3. Can someone please help!

    Hi,
    My iphone 4 won't connect to my mac book, it says that I need to install to latest version of itunes 11.1. When I go to itunes and try to update, it says that I have the latest version (10.6.3). Can someone please help me!
    thanks

    You are probably running OS 10.4 or 10.5 on a PPC Mac.  No version of  iTunes higher than 10.6.3 is available for these older Macs.  I have the same problem, and while I can still use the PPC to sync my iPod, it can't be used to sync an iPhone 4 or higher.  The only solution, as I discovered after upgrading to the iPhone 4, is to buy a newer Mac.  I was able to get a 2006 MacBook running Lion for under $300, and that has been a lifesaver.
