Network Access Manager - Service (Secure Mobility Client)

We are currently working on Deploying the Secure Mobility Client.
1. We are looking at the ability to stop the Network Acess Manager without Admin rights, According to the Cisco Documentation on this:
"Stopping and Starting the Network Access Manager"
Users with local administrator privileges can start and stop the Network Access Manager. Users without local administrator privileges cannot start and stop the Network Access Manager without using the service password defined in the Authentication panel of the profile editor.
Question: I am unable to find the said option in the Authentication panel in the profile editor
2. Since we will be using NAM for all of our computers, and since some users will not be using the VPN, we will need to push out profiles to the users (This is easy however we are concerned about updates and getting those pushed). A collegue shared that he head at Cisco Live2011 that there is an option in NAM to update it's profiles by connecting to the VPN-Headend without actually authenticating and logging into the VPN.
I know if a user connects to the VPN Headend we can update the profiles on NAM/VPN etc... however without them connecting I'm not sure if there is any way to do so?

Hi Alwin,
There is nothing to be done with your anyconnnect client.... if needed changes needs to ne done at VPN FW/Router where your anyconnect connection is established..... here i guess your corporate office is having this VPN server.....
They have configured it as tunnel all mode... means all traffic will be taken through VPN... see from your output preferred default route is pointed to 192.168.0.101, which is a vpn gateway....
If needed anyconnect vpn configuration needs to be changed from tunnel all to split-tunnel....
Active Routes:
Network Destination Netmask Gateway Interface Metric
0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.101 20
0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 146.236.12.1 146.236.12.73 2

Anyconnect Secure Mobility Client, Network Access Module, wired PEAP

Hello there,
I am testing AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client, Network Access Module as supplicant with PEAP authentication for wired network users. With default configuration it is working well. With default configuration it is Trusting any Root CA certificates installed on the OS. Do you know how to configure NAM that it will validate ACS certificate with specific Root CA Certificate ?
In Network Access Module profile editor it has two options about Certificates:
One is Certificate Trusted Authority which has two options by its self first is too trust any Root CA certificate that is installed on OS, and second is to import Root CA certificate in Profile. Potentially Second option can help in my case, I can manually import Root CA certificates in each profile. But I think it will be hard to update Root CA certificates in future in that way.
Second is Certificate Trusted Server Rules, this option have matching capability by certificate Common Name. For what can be used this option ?

Normally the way it works is that you set up your Enterprise Root CA, and then have it issue a certifcate for the AAA server (ie ACS, ISE, etc). You then install this certificate on the AAA server and (in an Active Directory environment) add the Root CA certificate to the client systems local certificate store. What that means is that any certificates (such as the one installed on the AAA server) that are presented to the client that are signed by the root are automatically trusted.
Server validation is an extra step in terms of proving the identity of the AAA server to the authenticating client. As such, when you build the policy in the NAM editor, it would look similar to the image below:
I like to use the CN (Common Name) as the match criteria and build my CA issuance policy to always include the FQDN in the certificate for identity purposes.
Hope this helps!

Network becomes limited or unavailable as soon as i connect to cisco anyconnect secure mobility client, version - 3.1.05170

Hiee,
I am using cisco anyconnect secure mobility client, version - 3.1.05170 , in my windows 8.1 PC to access vpn to my office desktop. But as soon as i connect cisco anyconnect client, my wifi networks becomes limited or unavailable. Thus, i am not able to get remote access to my office desktop. And not even able to access any other websites also. But as soon as i disconnect from the cisco anyconnect vpn client, every thing becomes normal, and the exclamation mark from the network icon also disappears.
kindly help me in this regard.
Thanks and regards
Neeraj

There are a few things to consider here:
- The IPSec VPN client is EoL, so even if we consider this as a bug, it wouldn't be fixed
- fixing the file server access would break the DHCP renew which means there is no completely clean way to fix this, at least not at the IP level since the client can't route to the same destination using 2 different paths.
Is there any chance we could do a static policy NAT for the DHCP traffic so it appears to come from another IP? It's twisted and it may not work (the client might use the DHCP server IP embedded inside the payload and not the source IP) but if it does, then we'd fix the overlap.
Could the server use another IP address for the DHCP service (much like using a loopback for a certain service on a router?)
A third solution would be to NAT the destination server IP on the ASA for traffic from the IP pool going to the server. We'd need DNS doctoring as well to resolve the server's name to the NATted IP. This way the server would appear from the VPN client as being at a different IP, thereby fixing the overlap.
All these potential solutions are quite involved... you may be better off wityh a simpler design: splitting of your server into 2 or using something else to do DHCP for the VPN clients.

AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client 3.1 attempts downgrade when accessing Customer VPN

I have Anyconnect Secure Mobility Client v3.1.03103 installed on Win7 Pro, which works fine with both my corporate vpn, and a number of customer vpns. For a particular customer though, The VPN setup fails and asks me to download and set up AnyConnect VPN Client 2.3.2016.
I have read other entries suggesting replacing VPNManifest.dat for machines running 2.5, but that doesn't appear to work here. Further, I have two directories, c:\Program Data\Cisco\Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client\ and c:\Program Data\Cisco\Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client\
Alternatively, can the two clients coexist?

I also get this same error, except my operating system is Windows 7 Professional (SP1) 32-bit. Below is a bit more detail....
Details:
Browser: Chrome (but I've tried all 3 major browsers)
Firewall: off
Defender: off
Cleaned registry for Cisco and AnyConnect keys
reboot
Goto: vpn.agel.com (auto-install process begins)
It gets as far as downloading the client install file, but at the end of the download the following error appears:
Failed to install AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client 3.1.00495 with installer error: Incorrect function. A VPN connection cannot be established.
Download from the manual link
Execute the install file (anyconnect-win-3.1.04063-web-deploy-k9)
I get the "Open File - Security Warning" dialog
Click on "Run"
The application never runs. Nothing further happens.
Hope this helps!

Configuration File goes bad in Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client.

Hi everyone
We are running a Cisco ISE Version: 1.3.0.876 Patch 1 for 802.1X deployment (Wired + Wireless) with posture assessment where the supplicant for the endpoint is Cisco Anyconnect Secure Mobility Client v4.0.00061.
Symptoms:
The Configuration is working fine both Wired and Wireless, but the issue is that some user suddenly start to have issue connecting Wireless with the Cisco Anyconnect dislpaying System Scan: Bypassing Anconnect Scan
(Some info are masked)
and When I digged into this found that the configuration.xml files in the path: C:\ProgramData\Cisco\Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client\Network Access Manager\newConfigFiles is renamed automatically into configuration_bad.xml.
Workaround:
Copy and paste a normal configuration.xml into the same path again.
Restart the Cisco anyconnect services or restart the Endpoint.
Question:
So was wondering if anybody has a clue why this configutatyion.xml turned into bad??
I'm goin to dig into the Event Viewer for logs about this before going to Cisco TAC

first poster -
"Downloads from random internet sites are 5-10 times faster than anything from a server on the VPN."
Your corporate network may just have too little bandwidth, your taking a poor internet route between carriers (ISP's are often maxed out believe it or not), there is a speed an duplex problem or you have a bad MTU. test all of them. your pc's MTU should be 1300. MAX on all interfaces. use the setmtu.exe tool.
Jcohen - if you disable the IPS on the ASA does the slow transfer problem go away?

My Anyconnect Secure Mobility Client drops the connection suddently and is unable to re-connect until I restart my laptop

Hello all,
My company has deployed AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client 3.1.04059 and we use Windows 7
The client works fine most of the time, but all of a sudden the connection drops. I can see both the Windows Network and Sharing Center and Cisco AnyConnect suddenly disconnected. This happens most of the times that I change to another location with a different wi-fi network. With my past Windows 2003 and AnyConnect versions (not sure which one that was), the VPN connection would be recovered shortly after re-connecting to the new wi-fi, but with this version it will never allow me to connect to the new wi-fi. Sometimes, if I use the troubleshoot manager from Windows, it will reset my network adapter and that will allow me to connect to the new wi-fi network. Most of the times it won't.
In those cases, I need to close all programs, log off and log back into Windows. Some other times that will not work either and I will need to restart the whole machine. Restarting the Anyconnect related services alone does not help.
I am worried because today I lost the connection all of a sudden in my own home, while any other device could easily connect to the wifi. Anyconnect will simply say that it is unable to connect. After many tests I had to reset the computer.
Am I the only one seeing this problem? Any advice anyone can give me?
Thanks in advance,
Antonio

So it seems that I was barking at the wrong tree :)
After a bit more research on-line, I found that changing the Power management options for the Wireless network adapter resolved the problem.
I went to Control Panel> Device Manager> right-click on Wireless Network Adapter> Properties > Power Management tab > Uncheck 'Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power'
So far so good. Hope this helps others.
Best,
Antonio

Connections drop when using Cisco Anyconnect Secure Mobility Client

Folks I have a strange issues. I have a few laptops that I'm testing using the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client Network Access Manager. We like the interface and overall are happy, but have one nagging issue. Periodically the connection drops when using the client, and the only way to reconnect is to choose the Network repair option on the client. That fixes it just fine, but we shouldn't have to do this. The same clients using the built in WIndows supplicant do not have this problem. We are on version 3.0.07059.

Right now I'm testing on a single access point (autonomous) with WEP! The same laptop works fine without the Cisco client. Usually it is several hours, 12 or more when it happens, but I've seen it less than that. And I've seen it up for over a day and a half. At this point I just don't trust the client to roll out to a larger audience.

Cisco's AnyConnect Network Access Manager (NAM)

Hi dears,
I configurate EAP_FAST in Cisco ISE and want wired users authenticate from ISE. I install Network Access Manager Profile Editor and Cisco Anyconnect Security Mobility Client on PC. I configure Network Access Manager when i want to save as that I did not see the . \newConfigFiles folder. Then I did that: Organize’, ‘Folder and Search Options’, ‘Show hidden files, folders, and drives. but in this case i did see the network access manager folder.
I need a to install Cisco’s AnyConnect Network Access Manager (NAM) on PC. HOW I get this soft? I have a smartnet for ISE.
Which email address(to cisco) i must be write to get this soft?
Thanks.

You can download the Network Access Manager module from CCO. This link should work if you have a CCO account.
http://software.cisco.com/download/release.html?mdfid=283000185&softwareid=282364313&release=3.1.05160&relind=AVAILABLE&rellifecycle=&reltype=latest&i=rs
The file name will be similar to anyconnect-win-3.1.05160-pre-deploy-k9.iso. Just unzip the ISO with 7zip or Winrar and you will see the NAM msi file anyconnect-nam-win-3.1.05149-k9.msi.

Network Access Manager and WiFi

I have a computer that is a member of a domain. The computer has Network Access Manager and Cisco Secure Mobility Client VPN modules loaded. I have the computer setup to authenticate to the network before it connects to the domain. This is working fine.
When a user brings their computer home, they are unable to connect to their wireless network. I tried adding some wifi authentication in Network Access Manager, but that did not fix the issue. I am still going to do some reading up on this issue, but I was hoping that somebody could give me some input if they have any experience?
I need for people to be able to authenticate to the network when they are at work, and VPN when they are at home.
Thanks,
Alex Pfeil

You mean you have start before feature (SBL) enabled and its working fine as long as you're at work. I guess I have seen this before.
What I read in an internal enhancement request that Cisco AnyConnect 3.0 Start Before Logon (SBL) does not work with user created personal networks. NAM establishes connections with user created network profiles only after user logon, and consequently there will be no network connectivity at the time Start Before Logon executes.
What version of NAM are you using?

Yes, I am sorry to say that several people have seen the same issue. It seems like the issue is specific to Yosemite and Anyconnect. My very technical staff and I have tried many things. The default route is missing and the file /var/run/resolv.conf is also missing which means that both the route and DNS server are messed up. We re-added the default route manually which allows us to ping the servers and even access them via the IP address
Run the command below before starting the VPN to get the default route
netstat -nr | grep default
Then run the following to re-add the default route.
route add default xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
BUT there is no way that I can find to fix the DNS entry.
We tried re-adding the DNS entries in the /var/run/resolv.conf and then restarting the DNS service
$ sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.discoveryd.plist
Password:
$ sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.discoveryd.plist
BUT THIS DOES NOT WORK!
If anyone can help us solve the DNS issue, at least we have a work-around for our technical people until Cisco and/or Apple can resolve it.

Anyconnect Secure Mobility Client on UC540

Hi everybody,
does anyone know if it´s possible to establish a connection with a
Anyconnect Secure Mobility Client directly to an UC 540?
I tried using a normal Cisco VPN Client from a Windows Desktop which works fine.
Now I´m trying to connect a Cius and a Samsung Smartphone with ASMC but this doesn´t work right now.
Is there another client available instead of ASMC?
Thanks in advance.

AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client with Oracle ESSO 11.1.1.5

Hello,
we are about to implement Oracle SSO for our client whose employees use Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client 3.0.5080 to access their internal network. The VPN access requires having the correct certificate installed on the client computers and users are required to enter their credentials (the same credentials that are stored in MS AD). All the client computers run Win 7.
Now - what we want to achieve is following: A client's employee logs into a domain, using domain account and starts the Cisco AnyConnect. The best option would be that the Oracle SSO would take it from here and do the rest in setting up the VPN connection - confirming the pre-selected profile, clicking the connect button, then filling the user credentials (from Oracle SSO database) in and confirming the dialog. Or, which is probably more viable way - the user will start AnyConnect, selecting which network to login in and the SSO will only enter the credentials and submit them to establish the connection.
So far we have been able to create templates for Oracle SSO to automatically enter the credentials for various applications, including SAP, but we are not able to create working template for AnyConnect. We are able to catch all the fields in the login window - Username, Password, Ok/Submit - when creating the template in ESSO-LM Admin Console but once the template is published to the repository and added to the test user in ESSO-PG, the SSO does not fill the credentials in. We also tried to "bypass this" using SendKeys with no result as well. All other applikcatios work.
Do you have any experience with such situation or have any hints what can we try?
Thank you for any answers,
Ondrej
PS: I have found https://supportforums.cisco.com/message/3852541. Is it really that the AnyConnect does not allow any application any input?

Here is a link to an example of configuring AnyConnect to use IKEv2. According to this ASA 8.4 and AnyConnect 3.1 should be ok.

Cisco anyconnect secure mobility client + caching

Hi,
We have recently implemented wifi at our location, all working fine with the below exception. we have cisco anyconnect secure mobility client installed on all laptops for VPN access. we are facing a problem as the vpn client is caching the credentilas i.e inorder to connect to the corp wifi, we need ot add a profile in the anyconnect client with the SSID, security and 802.1x configuration bcoz my WIFI infra is setup to use ISE as the authentication manager and WLC is integrated with ISE. First time when someone tries to connect to wifi, it prompts for the credentials. but for the subsequent connections it is not prompting for the credentials and somehow it is picking from the cache or somewhere. How can i disable this? I want the users to be prompted for credentials whenever they try to connect to the corp wifi? FYI, we are using cisco anyconnect secure moile client 3.0.5 version.
Thanks,
Sridhar

I'm guessing that it is this setting...
Go to C:\ProgramData\Cisco\Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client and edit the AnyConnectLocalPolicy.xml.
Change this line to:
All
It's probably best to use the AnyConnect Profile Editor to do this and I'm also not sure if this is something that can be pushed from the gateway to all machines.

Using Network Access Manager to manage VPN connections

Can Network Access Manager be used to manage Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility VPN connections?

Does Nvidia have any kind of technical support for their drivers? I could not find anything on their site. I can not figure out why the Network Access Manager will not load in IE for me. My WindowsXP and IE are completely up-to-date. I can access the Network Access Manager in the Firefox browser, but the profiles will not change.
Under Personal Firewall->Basic Configuration, I cannot switch my profile. It takes me to the " Please Wait Configuration settings are being applied" screen, with the progress meter, but nothing ever happens, even if I leave it sitting for 30 minutes. I noticed there are error messages on that screen: "Error in ProfileCustom1Base Set : Invalid selection. Please choose a valid selection" and "Error in ProfileCustom2Base Set : Invalid selection. Please choose a valid selection" The error messages appear regardless of which profile I'm attempting to use: low, off, high, medium, custom1-3.
This is really bugging me, because I want to use the firewall, but I cannot open ports for programs I want to use.
If someone knows a contact email for Nvidia, please let me know.
Thanks.
