Title: AnyConnect with IPSec
Post by: routerdork on December 30, 2015, 08:48:45 AM
Has anyone come across a good way to distribute AnyConnect Profiles out to clients of non-company owned devices? I'm thinking this may be something BYOD guys have run into already.

Very few people have laptops here. For instances when remote work is needed the company allows anyone to VPN in from a home PC/MAC/etc. and then RDP to their workstation. Since I won't have SSL on I can't wait for everyone to connect and download the profile that would switch them to IPSec. I have come up with the standard make it available on a share, portal, etc. options. My concern is how can I provide this file to someone that needs it in an emergency for customer support? Has anyone found a way to package it and/or make it available from the services page? Would be nice if we could repackage the AnyConnect installer to force IPSec.

There may be a way to do it with an MDM system, but I'm not sure. If the person has internet access, there's Go2MyPC or stuff like that where you can execute a remote installation.

Zip it up, copy to a 5 1/4" floppy disk, and snail mail it to them.

Yes, but you'll also have to FedEx a USB floppy drive. I prefer the models with 3.5 and 5.25 disk slots, as well as an Iomega Zipdisk bay.

why can't you just use SSL again??? (licensing?)

The old IPSEC client still works AFAIK and there is a 64 bit version that works fine in Win7 64

They've SSL right now but they are using a third-party client. The new one that I've setup is IKEv2/IPSec.
