CSD - Cisco Secure Desktop - updates needed !

Hi,
Does anyone know if/when there will be an update to the Cisco Secure Desktop. Latest version available is 3.1.1.45 dated October 2006. This version is massively out of date in terms of AV clients, FW's and there is no Vista support !
Am i missing something here - has Cisco stopped developing this product ? Is there another product that has superseded this ?
Any advice much appreciated,
cheers
Chris

Hi Joe,
Thanks for your reply.
Is there any mechansim for us to edit the config files for CSD so we can manually add in AV products such as Kaspersky, AVG7.5 etc etc. We are finding that we are having to insist people use a narrow range of old product versions in order to meet our posture detection policies. Surely regular AV and FW additions and updates are essential for a product such as CSD.
Many thanks
Chris

Cisco Secure Desktop Space Requirements

Does anyone know what the space requirements are for the Cisco Secure Desktop configuration. Each time I try to configure CSD it tells me "the disk is (or was) full during extraction." Looking at my space in flash there is more than enough space unless Im missing something.

Hi Bro
When a Secure Desktop environment is created, an encrypted file space is generated in the Cisco ASA. The file space starts small and grows to a maximum of 2GB, depending on the applications loaded from their default locations whilst operating within Secure Desktop.
For further details on this, please kindly refer to https://supportforums.cisco.com/docs/DOC-1247#Q_How_big_of_a_partition_on_the_hard_drive_does_CSD_create

Cisco Secure Desktop not loading on MB Pro

Hello
I have a MacBook Pro that I use for work, and am trying to access my work VPN via the Cisco Secure Desktop. Up until approx two weeks ago, it worked fine, but now I get the following message
I have Java 7 update 25 installed, and am using Firefox Mac version 22.
Any help is appreciated !
Thank You

I am seeing similar behavior. Hopefully what I'm seeing isn't drastically different, so as not to have hijacked your thread. (I hadn't keyed into the IE connection until you mentioned it, but once I check my logs, IE seems to be the common factor.)
Any of my VPN users with AnyConnect 3.1.3103 on Windows 7 (64-bit specifically) and IE 10 fail to pass my DAP policies. A virtually identical host with Windows 7 64-bit and IE 9 passes DAP. (I'm not performing any DAP check on IE at all.) After working on a little testing of my own, I intend to file a TAC case. If something interesting develops either in my testing or the TAC case, I'll update here.

Weblaunch cisco secure Desktop mac os x is not working

Hi there,
The weblaunch for Cisco Secure Desktop is not working with MAC OS X 10.7.5 on Safari and Firefox (latest one).
On Windows ist it working properly.
Java is enabled on the browser. With the local installed hostscan it works, but how can the weblauch be enabled for MAC OS X?
Here the error:
Access Denied

Critical failure.Cisco Secure Desktop must run and validate your system to proceed. Please verify your browser settings and configuration and retry.
Thank you,

We are matching the group policy, I can connect from the Mac using the AnyConnect client so the DAP is working correctly now. I have the DAP connection meathod as both default webvpn or clientless.
Only things I'm checking for in DAP is group policy, then OS X and Antivirus for MAC. That's it, yet WebVPN does not launch, i'm stuck at the Access Denied, system failed to be validated by Cisco Secure Desktop. I enabled the Java Plugin when prompted...same issue.
This doesn't work in Safari or FireFox.

Thanks.

Sorry I don't really understand.... there are no partitions on the drive. How do I repartition it?
And should I use "erasing free space" or "erase" for wiping clean my drive of everything? Erase seems to be faster last tiem I tried.
Thanks!

Cisco Secure Desktop access denied and critical failure errors

I'm having the same problem with Lion 10.8.4
I've tried three different browsers with similar results.
Firefox 22.0
Chrome Version 27.0.1453.116

Any ideas? I know we have the Secure desktop set to scan for antivirus for all connections. I know that my AV is on the list and supposedly compatible.

Yes. It does replicate sdesktop.xml and dap.xml

Add/remove applications from cisco secure desktop

Is there anyway to add and remove applications on the actual desktop of the CSD? I have a client that would like to remove IE from the desktop and add a shortcut to RDP. Is this possible. I have a feeling it isn't, I figured I'd ask.
TIA,

Cisco Secure Desktop accessing ICA Client

Hi ,
I am running an ASA with activated CSD - the deloyment is working perfectly - however I am facing two probs:
- accessing a Citrix Server farm takes ages
- the Citrix ICA Client just don't start
no matter what settings I am changing (hints on some Java related version issues) I am adapting. Without the CSD everything runs smooth....
Any Ideas
Thanks
Stephan

Hi,
You can use CSD to perform advance endpoint assesment policies.
However, to check for a specific list of AV, Anti-spyware, among others, you will need the advance endpoint assesment license.
When you enable CSD, and connect to a specific connection profile where CSD is enabled, the ASA will push down the module to the client's machine, so it will be able to send all the system information to the ASA.

Cisco secure desktop hostscan launch utility has stopped working

Hi Experts
Can any one help me on the below issue while I am trying to access.

Hello
as much as I regret it and as strange as it may seem I fear it's a challenge for Adobe's Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool.
Sometimes - for whatever reasons - CC doesn't "want" to work. In this case you should CC completely delete and reinstall by help of Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. (A try to uninstall by own resources is not enough!)
I quote: ... helps resolve installation problems for Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Suite (CS3-CS6) applications. The tool removes installation records for prerelease installations of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications. It does not affect existing installations of previous versions of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications.
Please use: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html and follow the prescribed sequence of operations
Sometimes the "opm.db file" is the culprit. In this case you should delete it.
If necessary and for further questions click through http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html and if "open" please use chat, I had the best experiences.
Good luck!

Logging in Secure Desktop

Hi,
We are using Cisco Secure Desktop 3.1.1 on an ASA with the 7.2(3) code. I am wondering if CSD is doing any logging, and if so, where I could find the logs. I'm especially interested in results showing operating systems, firewall software, etc. of attaching clients, and reasons for policy rejections.
Thanks,
- Steve

Hi James,
Thanks very much! Checking my logs, I see what is being recorded:
Secure Desktop Results: PLATFORM/FEATURE= WINDOWS_PC & CACHE_CLEANER , PC_LOCATION= Default , PC_OS_DETECTED= Windows XP SP2 , PC_AV_DETECTED= McAfee VirusScan (8.0-10.0, Enterprise 7.0-8.0)
I don't see anything about firewall, or Anti-Spyware. Does this mean that the remote computer doesn't have either, or does it mean that those values aren't recorded?
I scanned my laptop for a hostscan.log file, but the search came up empty.
Thanks,
- Steve

Pb: secure desktop with web client citrix

description :
1) Connexion SSL portal : OK
2) Secure Desktop install OK
3) connect to portal citrix and retreive msi package citrix web client : OK
4) During install msi package error occure.
Idea ???
Can I install msi package in environnent secure desktop ??

Yes, you can install an msi package on secure desktop environment. The problem seems to be with the package you are trying to install or it may be with the msi installer. To confirm this you can disable the cisco secure desktop and then try to install the package. If installation fails with same error the problem may be in the package. Get a different copy of the package and try to install it.

Remote desktop connection blocked by cisco security agent

Hi,
I have a deployment of a Management Center for Cisco Security Agents 6.0.2 and i just noticed that the agent is blocking the remote desktop connection to the hosts, the agent installed on the server shows me the event but i'm not able to see it logged on the Management Center (i can see logged any other events), i'm not sure what rule should i enable in order to allow this connection.
Do you have any ideas???
Thanks in advance...

Hi,
Remote desktop connection uses the highest possible security level encryption method between the source and destination.
In Windows Vista or later versions of Windows, the remote desktop connection uses the SSL (TLS 1.0) Protocol and the encryption is Certificate-based.
TS Gateway can also make the connection more secure, enhance security, see detailed information in this link
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc731264(WS.10).aspx
Don't forget some known offical antii-virus software, they can also protect the connetion from network attack.

Cisco agent desktop has encountered a problem and needs to close error

A Remote Hotline user is experiencing crashes with her desktop agent. After logging into the program it generated the error message "The Cisco Agent Desktop has encountered a problem and needs to close"
I have removed the agent from add remove programs, re installed it and attempted to run it logged in as an admin and using both mine and the user's agent credentials and the program still crashes.
Agent desktop ver 5.0 Build 6.4.2.12 Windows XP
Any ideas?
Regardes, Chet

Thanks for the reply, this is what I did to resolve it:
Fix:
Uninstalled Desktop agent from add remove programs
Re installed program
Do a complete restart or the prog will continue to crash
Test program by logging in with user’s credentials

If they have set up port forwarding for you already then that is different. In that case, then you could be experiencing the bug with the most recent release of ARD (3.7.2) and in particular ARD 3.7.2 and Yosemite ARD version 3.8 clients. It has been reported numerous times in the forums and to Apple that since 3.7.2, clients are frequently unavailable to connect to despite there being no network issue between the remote computer and client computer. I have not seen anyone report it who was working from outside the LAN to inside the LAN, but I have the same issue with a number of my own computers that are simply on a different subnet, so it stands rot reason that it would happen from a port forwarding location.
I am sometimes able to resolve the issue locally by SSH connecting into the client computer using Terminal on my admin machine and restarting or relaunching the ARD agent on the remote device, then trying to connect to it again after about 30 seconds.
The Terminal commands for this procedure are as follows, though you might need to include a port number from outside the LAN:
First:
ssh ipaddress -l adminusername
(example: ssh 192.168.1.1 -l macadmin)
Second:
sudo /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Resources/k ickstart -restart -agent
After that, waiting about 30 seconds and trying to observe or control usually works, though the computer may still fail to show an online or lit-up status indicator.
