NAC and ASA AnyConnect Essentials

If you have the Essentials AnyConnect VPN license - the ASA is able to do all of the NAC such as searching the registry value or check his firewall definitions are up-to-date?  Thank you.

With an AnyConnect Essentials license is activated, without client feature WebVPN, Cisco Secure Desktop (CSD) and assessment of Advanced endpoint is disabled.  For this reason, you won't be able to make the registry checks, check the antivirus updates, etc..

    (2) what is the best way to have the device for end-user client deployment? pushing of ASA or install individually on the system? Can I have the best, I mean the latest version of windows, client MAC e.t.c I shud get?

    While pushing ASA LU that much memory cache will be used, since we have IPS (AIP - SSM) modules has also installed on ASA who shud method I adopt here?

    (3) what is the exact product for license Anyconnect Essentials & customer name mobile (IOS & Android) we get from cisco?

    (4) once I get the correct license how do I active in systems? should I remove the failover command and install the license in two devices separately?

    (5) Finally, I need to authenticate vpn anyconnect essentials with LDAP that is already configured for clientless SSL VPN(AnyConnect Premium). any suggestions here?

    Thank you

    1 correct. You can run one or the other, but not both.

    2 since you have the upgrade memory to 2 GB, you should be fine perform web deployment via the pkg file method.

    3. for a 5520, you need:

    L-ASA-AC-E-5520 =
    L-ASA-AC-M-5520

    .. .to the Essentials and Mobile licenses respectively.

    4. on ASA 8.2, you need licenses for both units. If you upgrade to 8.3 + (8.4 (7) recommend at least), you can share licenses between members of a pair of HA. If you choose not to upgrade, just apply the key of activation on the rescue unit, then on the unit activates. You don't need to move on and in the failover configuration. Failover of the rescue unit status will show as ineligible briefly while he holds the new license is not the case of the active unit. Which will be resolved after you have applied the same license on the main unit. (If you were on 8.3 + would not happen at all).

    5. simply create a new connection profile for customers of Essentials by using the same AAA server group.

  • AnyConnect ASA laptop and iPad AnyConnect

    Hello

    I was wondering if there is a way to have the iPad AnyConnect SSl VPN Client and standard AnyConnect Client to connect to the same IP address on the external interface of the ASA and have the ASA determine if the system is and iPad or a normal laptop.  So, for example if I had SSL VPN configured on the SAA with an IP address of https://5.5.5.5 both users of the iPad and laptop users would connect ASA outside interface using this unique ip address.  Once authenticated, the ASA would be able to determine that the user is using an iPad and limit them or live in an area of the network and if the user is on your laptop by using the normal AnyConnect client pass through sales we have on our network and normal NAC security controls.

    So basically I want to use the iPad and using a laptop an IP only, ASA, but according to the device direct them to various areas of the network that we are unable to install anti-virus software and what not on the iPad and want to direct them to an area where they can't do as much damage if they have been compromised.

    Thank you

    Hi you can use DAP in this case to scan on the client that you are coming from and apply different policies depending on the client that connects.

    For example. You can apply a policy to all s BONES (mostly laptops) and if they enter the notebook computer category you can give them a different policy.

    Also the presence of anti-virus software can also be detected strategies with ssl vpn.

  • ASA Anyconnect and Posture assessment

    Hello

    I have read the configuration guide Cisco ASA VPN ASDM 7.2 and also the Anyconnect Client Admin Guide 4.1 and can't find a clear answer as to how to implement assesment of endpoint.

    I see options for the use of the Module of Posture AnyConnect, HostScan and Secure Desktop. They appear on the page to download the Cisco software as

    separate downloads be prédéployées customers. I have a client who wishes to also VPN connections without client on the SAA to have an evaluation of the endpoint.

    I don't know what software to use three options, or how it should be deployed to the client, or client VPN connection. If anyone has all the answers to what precedes, or can point me to a link with the information, I would be grateful.

    Thank you

    Jim

    Without client by definition means we do not have any software installed on the client. So the Module of Posture AnyConnect can not be used for Clientless SSL VPN.

    HostScan and Secure Desktop are modules of execution if they can be invoked for connections without client.

    Note that this are not very actively developed and will probably eventually deprecated. Cisco tries to refer clients to a solution complete including the ISE and the AnyConnect ISE Posture of the AnyConnect Client module option ensure complete mobility.

    Hi hmcandrew,

    As far as I know, you need to require one of the ASA on the other to run in failover mode.

    Maybe if you run them in a private network virtual-balancing of the load in place, they will be able to work, but it will not give you HA.

  • License AnyConnect disables AnyConnect essentials

    Is this correct?  It does not seem right.  I bought a mobile Anyconnect license to add to my ASA 5505, who already had active Anyconnect Essentials.

    I received the watch activation key that I would go to:

     License : Base Max Physical Interfaces : 8 VLANs : 3, DMZ Restricted Dual ISPs : Disabled Trunk Ports : 0 Failover : Disabled Inside Hosts : 50 VPN DES Encryption : Enabled VPN 3DES and AES Encryption : Enabled VPN Peers : 10 SSL VPN Peers : 2 Shared SSL VPN licensing : Disabled AnyConnect Mobile : Disabled Linksys VPN Phone : Disabled AnyConnect Essentials : Enabled Advanced Endpoint Assessment : Disabled UC Proxy Sessions : 2 UC Phone Proxy Sessions : 2 Botnet Traffic Filter : Disabled

    The Mobile license should not disable Essentials. That could be a mistake made by the license server.

    I recommend to open a TAC case and urging them to please put in the queue for license Global (GLO) operations. Request GLO re - issue an activation key which includes your already approved essentials.

  • ASA AnyConnect client is unable to obtain the IP address of the remote DHCP server

    I and ASA with 10 client AnyConnect profiles set up to get their IP address of my Windows DHCP server.

    It was working fine yesterday.

    I saved the config and rebooted the device.

    Now it won't deliver to my vpn clients intellectual property.

    I don't understand what is happening.

    If I change the profiles to use a local pool he assigns an IP address and works very well.

    But I can't use the local pools.  I have to use the DHCP server on the local network.

    The ONLY thing that was made was that a license allowing the AnyConnect Essentials has been installed recently.

    Well, your config looks good. You also upgrade the operating system? Maybe you hit a new bug.

    I heard no problems after the installation of a license, but it might be interesting to open a TAC case and learn if you hit a bug.

  • Cisco Anyconnect Essentials License - What is it

    Hello community.

    I managed to install an ASA with Anyconnect. The Anyconnect client on my laptop works very well.

    But why now to buy a Cisco Anyconnect Essentials License, what exactly is this license?

    AnyConnect works fine without this license.

    But I can not connect with my IPhone with the Cisco Anyconnect for Iphone App. should I buy the Anyconnect for Mobile license and this license just for a single device or all devices. Because this license is really cheap. Cisco licenses normally are expensiv.

    Thank you and best regards patrick

    If you have not all AnyConnect Premium licenses, then you are limited to two simultaneous connections if you do not have the license of anyConnect Essentials. You are right, for i-devices (and Android...) you need the AnyConnect Mobile license.

    AnyConnect Essentials both AnyConnect Mobile are approved by ASA, not user connections. And AnyConnect Mobile needs AnyConnect essential or Preimium AnyConnect license must be activated.

  • AnyConnect Essentials - HTTPS

    Hi all

    After you have enabled Anyconnect essentials (clientless disable), can I still access my internal resources using HTTPS? (IE https://host1.company.com - using anyconnect client anyconnect Essentials active).

    Thank you

    No, not at all!

    With AnyConnect, you use your client installed locally to get seamless access to your internal resources. With the portal Clientless ASA is a proxy for all your requests.

    The two have different use cases. For your company-managed computers, the AnyCOnnect client is normally used. Clientless is used if you want to connect from an unmanaged PC where you cannot or do not want to install a client for seamless access.

    For example, you are in the jungle and want to access some resources from a local Internet café. Then, you would use without VPN client. But if you find a hotspot and have your mobile with you, you take the AnyConnect client.

  • Install the client via a browser web w. ANyConnect Essentials license?

    I wonder if it is still possible for individual users install the AnyConnect client by authenticating is via a web browser and allow the web browser to launch the installation, even if the device that the user connects to is running in mode anyconnect essentials?

    In addition, a bonus question: If there are several groups of tunnel and I want the user to know the name of the tunnel group in order to connect (because I don't want to show which groups of tunnel are available), can I force a user to access a specific URL to connect to this group of specific tunnel? I did it with the premium version of the AnyConnect VPN in my lab, but still works for the most part? And what happens if the user starts the AnyConnect client and connects without using the web browser to open the VPN session? The AnyConnect client remember what tunnel group was finally to that specific device or what I have to show which groups of tunnel are available in the AnyConnect client to allow the user to reconnect to this group of specific tunnel?

    Oscar

    You can continue to launch web AnyConnect the Essentials installed with a license. In order to direct users to a particular group of tunnel without using an alias and drop-down, you can configure the group URL. For example, you have a tunnel group called employee and another contractor called. With the group URL, users can access the respective web portal by entering https://vpn.test.com/employee or https://vpn.test.com/contractor. For users who already have the AnyConnect client installed, you can either insert the group above url in the connection box, or you can configure a host name address and the host by using a profile.

  • Remove all the config ASA anyconnect

    Hi all

    I need to remove config ASA cisco anyconnect.

    Is there any command I can run from the command line that will do the work?

    Concerning

    MAhesh

    Mahesh,

    There is no specific AnyConnect sort of macro command to do this. If you are looking just to reset everything in the config, you can use the command configures the default factory .

    Otherwise, you just remove the individual sections / lines with commands 'no... '. ». Note that when things are in sections ("group policy" and "tunnel-group", for example), you can delete the section in a single ' ' command without having to enter each line of paragraph and remove individual.

    You must also delete profiles (xml files) that you created and (pkg) AnyConnect image files on the disk to be totally complete.

  • ASA 1000V and ASA 5500

    I hope someone can help me to answer this question:

    Currently, we have redundant FWSM and consider a migration of standalone ASA 5500 series firewalls. However, we have a complete VMWare environment and look at the Nexus 1000V. I understand the Nexus 1000V and ESR architecture and implementation, and I don't understand that the ASA 1000V is designed for cloud environments. But I have a question about the ASA 1000V.

    Is it possible that a firewall series ASA 5500 be replaced by ASA 1000V? Basically, can an ASA 1000V to be a single firewall solution, or are that ASA 5500 is always necessary?

    Is there a datasheet anywhere that compares the ASA 1000V and ASA 5500 series?

    Thanks for your help.

    -Joe

    Depending on what you are using the ASA5500 series for now. If you use the ASA5500 for the remote access vpn and AnyConnect VPN, he will not rely on the first version of the ASA1000V yet.

  • Question about authentication SDI on AnyConnct and ASA

    Hi all

    I would like to know about the flow of communication for the AnyConnect client authentication and ASA 5520 SDI.

    My client wants to use RSA SecurID On-Demand authenticator (token RSA SecurID On-Demand) between ASA 5520 for SSL VPN and AnyConnect client.

    I understand that ASA provides two modes to allow authentication SDI.

    Native SDI - ASA communicates directly with the SDI server to manage authentication SDI
    RADIUS SDI - ASA communicates to a RADUIS SDI (such as Cisco ACS) proxy and the proxy RADIUS SDI communicates with the SDI server, this means that the ASA does not communicate directly on the SDI server.

    I think that, in general (not consider ASA), the client (remote user) needs access to the web page on the server of the SDI for an SDI authentication token when it starts / SSL VPN connection configuration. However, I understand clearly that how SDI authentication works if I use ASA as secure gateway and configure ASA to allow authentication SDI.

    So my question is how authentication SDI work on ASA when I use ASA as secure gateway and configure ASA to allow authentication SDI (in both modes).

    The customer does not want the AnyConnect client to communicate with the server of SDI directly, but to communicate to ASA only because of their security problem. I don't know why the customer say...

    I found the following information of CEC.

    ==========
    When a remote user using authentication RADIUS SDI connects to the ASA with AnyConnect and attempts to authenticate using RSA SecurID token, the ASA communicates with the RADIUS server, which in turn, communicates with the SDI server for validation.
    ==========

    This means that the AnyConnect client does not communicate with the SDI server directly for authentication of SDI when it starts / SSL VPN connection configuration and the AnyConnect client must communicate with the SAA, because ASA communicates to the SDI server (instead of the AnyConnect client) as proxy?

    Your information would be appreciated.

    Best regards

    Shinichi

    Shinichi,

    I had a quick glance at the data sheet

    http://www.RSA.com/node.aspx?ID=3481

    I couldn't find the authentication of SMS as code ' on demand ', IE. RSA will communicate somehow with network cellular provider to deliver SMS with part user token. (Phone number should uniquely identify a user)

    Please note that it is a little suspicious if the device that you authenticate provide you authentication credentials :-)

    Unless you mean a scenario where users connect through ASA to request a token (be it via NAT or perhaps via SSL Portal?) anyway, ASA is usually unconscious because the user has their authentication from the two parties.

    Let me know if you meant different on the the request token. I'm curious to see what RSA has in store for us.

  • Do I need a license AnyConnect Essentials after upgrade to 8.0 (4) 9.0 (1)

    Hello

    I have an ASA 5510 executes code 8.0 (4). It has a WEBVPN license which allows a number of connectivity of peers with a 2.2 AnyConnect ssl vpn client (I have not needclientless SSL VPN features). As AnyConnect Essentials/Premium was introduced on the 8.2 code, does this mean I have to get at least an AnyConnect Essentials license if I upgrade to the latest code, or my WEBVPN license will still suffice?

    If you already have the WebVPN license when running on the 8.0.4, version then you need not purchase a license more.

    The WebVPN license is the equivalent of the AnyConnect Premium license.

    If your output to 'see the version' shows WebVPN for more than 2 users license, then you're OK when you upgrade to version 9.0

Maybe you are looking for
