Failed to get configuration from secure gateway. Contact your system administrator.

Question

I have an ASA 5515 running 9.1(1).
One of my customers is attempting to connect with AnyConnect 3.1.02040 and after authenticating, he gets the message
Failed to get configuration from secure gateway. Contact your system administrator.
I have about 100 other customers who have not had this issue and can connect fine.
Since it appears to be localized to his PC, he's uninstalled and reinstall the client, but to no avail. He's using Windows 7 Pro.
On the ASA, while he is attempting to connect, I see this:

Any ideas?

i had this problem.  for me the cause had to do with internet explorer TLS settings.
in IE8 go to tools, internet options, advanced and under security I had to make sure Use TLS 1.0 was checked (only Use SSL 3.0 and Use TLS 1.1 were checked.  I left them checked.).
