Anyconnect xml config file

If that is not successful, Anyconnect attempts to initiate the connection using IPv6. Disable Automatic Certificate Selection Windows only. Disables automatic certificate selection by the client and prompts the user to select the authentication certificate. This setting can be disabled on the Anyconnect GUI also.

Specifies a policy in the Anyconnect profile to control client access to a proxy server. Use this when a proxy configuration prevents the user from establishing a tunnel from outside the corporate network.

Enabled by default, Anyconnect lets Windows users establish a VPN session through a transparent or non-transparent proxy service on the local PC. Uncheck this parameter if you want to disable support for local proxy connections. One can use the OGS feature in order to minimize latency for Internet traffic without user intervention.

OGS location entries are cached for 14 days, clear this cache is not user configurable. It means the OGS process is triggered every 14 days, if the user move from location the OGS process won't be triggered again.

Currently, OGS only runs the checks if the user comes out of suspend, and the threshold has been exceeded. OGS contacts only the primary servers in the profile in order to determine the optimal one. Even if the user machine has other profiles, they will not be able to select any of them until OGS is disabled. When OGS is used, if connectivity to the gateway to which the users are connected is lost, then Anyconnect connects to the servers in the backup server list and not to the next OGS host.

OGS contacts only the primary servers in order to determine the optimal one. Once determined, the connection algorithm is:. When the administrator configures the backup server list, the current profile editor only allows the administrator to enter the Fully Qualified Domain Name FQDN for the backup server, but not the user-group as is possible for the primary server:.

Suspension Time Threshold hours : The elapsed time from disconnecting to the current secure gateway to reconnecting to another secure gateway. If users experience too many transitions between gateways, increase this time. If AAA is used, users may have to re-enter their credentials when transitioning to a different secure gateway.

Using certificates eliminates this problem. TND gives you the ability to have Anyconnect automatically disconnect a VPN connection when the user is inside the corporate network the trusted network and start the VPN connection when the user is outside the corporate network the untrusted network. It does not disconnect a VPN connection that the user starts manually in the trusted network. TND only disconnects the VPN session if the user first connects in an untrusted network and moves into a trusted network.

TND requires a strict certificate checking. Anyconnect will not establish a session if the certificate presented by the ASA cannot be verified. Trusted Network Policy: the action the client takes when the user is inside the corporate. Untrusted Network Policy: the action the client takes when the user is outside the corporate network. Trusted DNS Domains: DNS suffixes a string separated by commas that a network interface may have when the client is in the trusted network.

Trusted DNS Servers: All DNS server addresses a string separated by commas that a network interface may have when the client is in the trusted network. For example: 2. You can configure Anyconnect to establish a VPN session automatically after the user logs in to a computer. The VPN session remains open until the user logs out of the computer, or the session timer or idle session timer expires.

Always-on VPN does not currently support connecting though a proxy. When Anyconnect detects always-on VPN in the profile, it protects the endpoint by deleting all other Anyconnect profiles, and ignores any public proxies configured to connect to the ASA. Enables the disconnect button on the client , Users of always-on VPN sessions may want to click Disconnect so they can choose an alternative secure gateway for reasons such as the following:.

Disabling the Disconnect button can at times hinder or prevent VPN access. If the user clicks Disconnect during an always-on VPN session, Anyconnect locks all interfaces to prevent data from leaking out and protects the computer from internet access except for that required to establish a new VPN session.

Anyconnect locks all interfaces, regardless of the connect failure policy. Closed: Restricts network access when the VPN is unreachable. Many facilities that offer Wi-Fi and wired access, such as airports, coffee shops, and hotels, require the user to pay before obtaining access, agree to abide by an acceptable use policy, or both. These facilities use a technique called captive portal to prevent applications from connecting until the user opens a browser and accepts the conditions for access.

If always-on VPN is enabled, the connect failure policy is closed, captive portal remediation is disabled, and Anyconnect detects the presence of a captive portal, the AnyConnect GUI displays the following message once per connection and once per reconnect:.

Your current enterprise security policy does not allow this. Captive portal detection is enabled by default, and is non-configurable. Captive portal remediation is the process of satisfying the requirements of a captive portal hotspot to obtain network access. By default, the connect failure policy prevents captive portal remediation because it restricts network access. You can configure AnyConnect to lift restricted access to let the user satisfy the captive portal requirements.

You can also specify the duration for which the client lifts restricted access. If the connect failure policy is open, users can remediate captive portal requirements. The captive portal remediation feature applies only if the connect failure policy is closed and a captive portal is present. Remediation Timeout : Enter the number of minutes that Anyconnect lifts the network access restrictions. The user needs enough time to satisfy the captive portal requirements.

When users connect to the ASA with a tunnel all option, all traffic is tunneled through the connection and users cannot access resources on their local network.

This includes printers, cameras, and Windows Mobile devices tethered devices that sync with the local computer. You can use the ASA to deploy endpoint OS firewall capabilities to restrict access to particular types of local resources, such as printers and tethered devices. The following notes clarify how the Anyconnect client uses the firewall:. Anyconnect uses the point-to-point adapter generated by the external tunnel. To specify whether and how to determine the exclusion route, use the PPP exclusion setting.

Terminate Script on Next Event : Terminates a running script process if a transition to another scriptable event occurs. The batch file can then be executed locally on the system or remotely to all the machines through the SCCM server in a large scale deployment. Cisco ISE can provision this software but it requires end user's interaction and installation privileges. The information in this document was created from the devices in a specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with a cleared default configuration.

If your network is live, ensure that you understand the potential impact of any command. The Network Access Manager module can be configured to convert some existing Windows 7 or later wireless profiles to the Network Access Manager profile format when the module is installed on the client system for the first time.

Infrastructure networks that match these criteria that can be converted:. The system is restarted after the installation and this should be notified to the users already. In this document, the assumed location of the Anyconnect msi, configuration. These commands or the batch file with these commands must be executed from the same location. A timeout is required for the installation of the module to complete.

This command induces a timeout of 15 minutes. This command copies the configuration. This command indicates that the required installation and conversion is complete and notifies that a reboot is initiated in 2 minutes. Note : All these commands or the batch file with these commands must be executed with administrative privileges and in the same order. Captive Portal Remediation Browser Failover —Allows the end user to use an external browser after closing the AnyConnect browser for captive portal remediation.

If you uncheck this checkbox, the VPN connection choices are only those in the drop-down box, and users are restricted from entering a new VPN address. The client can exclude traffic destined for the secure gateway from the tunneled traffic intended for destinations beyond the secure gateway.

If you make this feature user controllable, users can read and change the PPP exclusion settings. Automatic—Enables PPP exclusion. Terminate Script On Next Event —Terminates a running script process if a transition to another scriptable event occurs. On Microsoft Windows, the client also terminates any scripts that the OnConnect or OnDisconnect script launched, and all their script descendents.

Authentication Timeout Values —By default, AnyConnect waits up to 12 seconds for an authentication from the secure gateway before terminating the connection attempt. AnyConnect then displays a message indicating the authentication timed out.

Enter a number of seconds in the range of 10 to You can configure a list of backup servers the client uses in case the user-selected server fails. If that fails, the client attempts each remaining server in the Optimal Gateway Selection list, ordered by its selection results. Those servers configured in the Server List take precedence, and backup servers listed here are overwritten. Add —Adds the host address to the backup server list. Move Up —Moves the selected backup server higher in the list.

If the user-selected server fails, the client attempts to connect to the backup server at the top of the list first, and moves down the list, if necessary. Move Down —Moves the selected backup server down in the list. Delete —Removes the backup server from the server list. Enable the definition of various attributes that can be used to refine automatic client certificate selection on this pane. If no certificate matching criteria is specified, AnyConnect applies the following certificate matching rules:.

If any criteria matching specifications are made in the profile, neither of these matching rules are applied unless they are specifically listed in the profile. Key Usage —Use the following Certificate Key attributes for choosing acceptable client certificates:. The OIDs are included in parenthesis:. A certificate must match all of the specified key s you enter.

Enter the key in the OID format for example, 1. The limit for the maximum characters for an OID is Distinguished Name Max 10 :—Specifies distinguished names DNs for exact match criteria in choosing acceptable client certificates. Name —The distinguished name DN to use for matching:.

Pattern —Specifies the string to match. The pattern to be matched should include only the portion of the string you want to match. There is no need to include pattern match or regular expression syntax. If entered, this syntax will be considered part of the string to search for.

For example, if a sample string was abc. Operator —The operator to use when performing matches for this DN. Wildcard —Enabled includes wildcard pattern matching. With wildcard enabled, the pattern can be anywhere in the string. Match Case —Check to enable case-sensitive pattern matching. Certificate Expiration Threshold —The number of days before the certificate expiration date that AnyConnect warns users their certificate is going to expire not supported by RADIUS password-management.

The default is zero no warning displayed. The range of values is zero to days. Certificate Import Store —Select which Windows certificate store to save enrollment certificates to. For example, the hostname asa. When the user clicks Get Certificate , the client prompts the user for a username and one-time password.

Thumbprint —The certificate thumbprint of the CA. Department OU —Department name specified in certificate. Company O —Company name specified in certificate. State ST —State identifier named in certificate. Country C —Country identifier named in certificate. Email EA —Email address. Domain DC —Domain component. In the following example, Domain DC is set to cisco. Qualifier GEN —The generation qualifier of the user.

Title T —The person's title. For example, Ms. Key size—The size of the RSA keys generated for the certificate to be enrolled. Use the VPN profile editor to enable the preference and configure global and per host certificate pins.

You can only pin per host certificates in the server list section if the preference in the Global Pins section is enabled. After enabling the preference, you can configure a list of global pins that the client uses for certificate pin verification. Adding per host pins in the server list section is similar to adding global pins. You can pin any certificates in the certificate chain, and they get imported to the profile editor to calculate the information required for pinning.

Add Pin —Initiates the Certificate Pinning Wizard which guides you through importing certificates into the Profile Editor and pinning them. The certificate details portion of the window allows you to visually verify the Subject and Issuer columns. You can import any certificate of the server certificate chain into the profile editor to specify the information required for pinning. The profile editor supports three certificate import options:. AnyConnect version 3. You can configure a list of servers that appear in the client GUI.

Users can select servers in the list to establish a VPN connection. Delete —Removes the server from the server list. Use of the link-local secure gateway address is not supported. User Group —Specify a user group. If you specify the Primary Protocol as IPsec, the User Group must be the exact name of the connection profile tunnel group. For SSL, the user group is the group-url of the connection profile. We recommend that you configure a list of backup servers the client uses in case the user-selected server fails.

If the server fails, the client attempts to connect to the server at the top of the list first, and moves down the list, if necessary. Conversely, the backup servers configured in AnyConnect Profile Editor, Backup Servers are global entries for all connection entries.

Any entries put in Backup Servers of the Profile Editor are overwritten with what is entered here in Backup Server List for an individual server list entry. This setting takes precedence and is the recommended practice. If the client cannot connect to the host, it attempts to connect to the backup server.

If the host for this server list entry is a load balancing cluster of security appliances, and the Always-On feature is enabled, specify the backup devices of the cluster in this list. If you do not, Always-On blocks access to backup devices in the load balancing cluster.

Add —Adds the address to the load balancing backup server list. Delete —Removes the load balancing backup server from the list. The default is SSL. IKE Identity —If you choose a standards-based EAP authentication method, you can enter a group or domain as the client identity in this field. When the user clicks Get Certificate, the client prompts the user for a username and one-time password. Certificate Authentication —The Certificate Authentication policy attribute associated with a connection entry specifies how certificates are handled for this connection.

Valid values are:. Automatic —AnyConnect automatically chooses the client certificate with which to authenticate when making a connection. In this case, AnyConnect views all the installed certificates, disregards those certificates that are out of date, applies the certificate matching criteria defined in VPN client profile, and then authenticates using the certificate that matches the criteria.

This happens every time the device user attempts to establish a VPN connection. Manual —AnyConnect searches for a certificate from the AnyConnect certificate store on the Android device when the profile is downloaded and does one of the following:. If AnyConnect finds a certificate based on the certificate matching criteria defined in the VPN client profile, it assigns that certificate to the connection entry and uses that certificate when establishing a connection.

If a matching certificate cannot be found, the Certificate Authentication policy is set to Automatic. If the assigned certificate is removed from the AnyConnect certificate store for any reason, AnyConnect resets the Certificate Authentication policy to Automatic. Disabled —A client certificate is not used for authentication. Make this Server List Entry active when profile is imported —Defines a server list entry as the default connection once the VPN profile has been downloaded to the device.

Only one server list entry can have this designation. The default value is disabled. This feature provides seamless mobility with a secure connection that persists across networks.

It is useful for applications that require a connection to the enterprise, but consumes more battery life. If Network Roaming is disabled and AnyConnect loses a connection, it tries to re-establish a connection for up to 20 seconds if necessary.

If it cannot, the device user or application must start a new VPN connection if one is necessary. Network Roaming does not affect data roaming or the use of multiple mobile service providers.

Connect on Demand requires certificate authorization —This field allows you to configure the Connect on Demand functionality provided by Apple iOS. You can create lists of rules that are checked whenever other applications start network connections that are resolved using the Domain Name System DNS. Connect on Demand is an option only if the Certificate Authentication field is set to Manual or Automatic. If the Certificate Authentication field is set to Disabled, this check box is dimmed.

The Connect on Demand rules, defined by the Match Domain or Host and the On Demand Action fields, can still be configured and saved when the check box is dimmed. Match Domain or Host —Enter the hostnames host. Do not enter IP addresses On Demand Action Specify one of the following actions when a device user attempts to connect to the domain or host defined in the previous step:.

Rules in this list take precedence over all other lists. When Connect On Demand is enabled, the application automatically adds the server address to this list. Remove this rule if you do not want this behavior. Always Connect —Always connect behaviour is release dependent:. On iOS 7. On later releases, Always Connect is not used, configured rules are moved to the Connect If Needed list and behave as such.

Add or Delete —Add the rule specified in the Match Domain or Host and On Demand Action fields to the rules table, or delete a selected rule from the rules table. You can also customize the data collection policy choosing what type of data to send, and whether data is anonymized or not. The Network Visibility Module sends flow information only when it is on the trusted network.

By default, no data is collected. Data is collected only when configured as such in the profile, and the data continues to be collected when the endpoint is connected. If collection is done on an untrusted network, it is cached and sent when the endpoint is on a trusted network. If you are sending collection data to Stealthwatch 7.
