Refer to the ISE compliance modules for details. Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client supports the following operating systems for its contained modules:. Windows 7, 8, 8. Upgrading to Windows 8. ASDM version 7. AnyConnect is not supported on Windows RT. There are no APIs provided in the operating system to implement this functionality. Cisco has an open request with Microsoft on this topic. Those who want this functionality should contact Microsoft to express their interest.
Here are two examples of this problem:. To work around this problem, uninstall Wireshark or disable the WinPcap service, reboot your Windows 8 computer, and attempt the AnyConnect connection again. Outdated wireless cards or wireless card drivers that do not support Windows 8 prevent AnyConnect from establishing a VPN connection. To work around this problem, make sure you have the latest wireless network cards or drivers that support Windows 8 installed on your Windows 8 computer.
AnyConnect is not integrated with the new UI framework, known as the Metro design language, that is deployed on Windows 8; however, AnyConnect does run on Windows 8 in desktop mode.
Windows is not supported; however, we do not prevent the installation of AnyConnect on this OS. If you are using Network Access Manager on a system that supports standby, Cisco recommends that the default Windows 8. If you find the Scanlist in Windows appears shorter than expected, increase the association timer so that the driver can complete a network scan and populate the scanlist.
Verify that the driver on the client system is supported by Windows 7 or 8. Drivers that are not supported may have intermittent connection problems.
Machine authentication using Machine certificate does not require this change and will work the same as it worked with pre-Windows 8 operating systems. Machine authentication allows a client desktop to be authenticated to the network before the user logs in. During this time the administrator can perform scheduled administrative tasks for this client machine. This will result in identifying company assets and applying appropriate access policies. In other versions of Windows, the user is asked where to save the file.
Mozilla's Firefox is the officially supported browser on Linux. Dependency on network-manager and libnm library to support NVM. Superuser privileges are required for installation. Java 5 1. The only version that works for web installation is Sun Java. You must install Sun Java and configure your browser to use that instead of the default package. To operate correctly with macOS, AnyConnect requires a minimum display resolution of by pixels.
Kernel extensions for AnyConnect 4. Additionally, all versions of AnyConnect for macOS starting with 4. The default setting is macOS App Store and identified developers signed applications. AnyConnect is a signed application, but it is not signed using an Apple certificate. This means that you must either select the Anywhere setting or use Control-click to bypass the selected setting to install and run AnyConnect from a predeploy installation.
Users who web deploy or who already have AnyConnect installed are not impacted. For further information, refer to Apple documentation. Web launch or OS upgrades for example Only the predeploy installation requires additional configuration as a result of Gatekeeper.
For an overview of the AnyConnect 4. Deploying AnyConnect refers to installing, configuring, and upgrading the AnyConnect client and its related files.
Predeploy—New installations and upgrades are done either by the end user, or by using an enterprise software management system SMS. For new installations, the user connects to a headend to download the AnyConnect client. The client is either installed manually, or automatically web-launch. Updates are done by AnyConnect running on a system where AnyConnect is already installed, or by directing the user to the ASA clientless portal. With Cloud Update, the software upgrades are obtained automatically from the Umbrella cloud infrastructure, and the update track is dependent upon that and not any action of the administrator.
By default, automatic updates from Cloud Update are disabled. When you deploy AnyConnect, you can include the optional modules that enable extra features, and client profiles that configure the VPN and other features. Keep in mind the following:. All AnyConnect modules and profiles can be predeployed. When predeploying, you must pay special attention to the module installation sequence and other details.
This issue applies to Internet Explorer versions 10 and 11, on Windows versions 7 and 8. Edit the registry entry to a non-zero value, or remove that value from the registry. On Windows 8, starting Internet Explorer from the Windows start screen runs the bit version. Starting from the desktop runs the bit version. Cisco only provides fixes and enhancements based on the most recent 4. TAC support is available to any customer with an active AnyConnect 4.
If you experience a problem with an out-of-date software version, you may be asked to validate whether the current maintenance release resolves your issue.
Software Center access is limited to AnyConnect 4. We recommend that you download all images for your deployment, as we cannot guarantee that the version you are looking to deploy will still be available for download at a future date.
The workaround is to disable such optimizations by updating the following registry keys:. By enabling the MACsec encryption standard, The MACsec standard is only supported in single host and multihost modes and is not supported in multi-authentication mode. Only supported on Windows 7, Windows 8, and current Microsoft supported versions of Windows 10 x86 bit and x64 bit.
Only Impacting RedHat and Ubuntu users prior to Once NSS is updated to version 3. If your wired or wireless network settings or specific SSIDs are pushed from a Windows group policy, they can conflict with the proper operation of the Network Access Manager. With the Network Access Manager installed, a group policy for wireless settings is not supported. Because of a bug with the Windows code that Microsoft is investigating, the Network Access Manager's attempt to access hidden networks is impacted.
To provide the best user experience, we have disabled Microsoft's new functionality by setting two registry keys during Network Access Manager installation and removing them during an uninstall.
The recommended version of AnyConnect for macOS The requirement to manually enable the software extension is a new operating system requirement in macOS Additionally, if AnyConnect is upgraded to 4.
Users running macOS Although AnyConnect 4. You may need to manually reboot after enabling the extension prior to AnyConnect 4. If a network change or power event occurs, a posture process that is interrupted will not complete successfully.
The network or power change results in an AnyConnect downloader error that must be acknowledged by the user before continuing the process. Network Access Manager does NOT automatically connect to these networks if no wired or wireless connection is available.

Learn how to start your journey to a passwordless future today. This configuration does not feature the interactive Duo Prompt for web-based logins, but does capture client IP information for use with Duo policies , such as geolocation and authorized networks. Primary and Duo secondary authentication occur at the identity provider, not at the ASA itself. Firewall configurations that restrict outbound access to Duo's service with rules using destination IP addresses or IP address ranges aren't recommended, since these may change over time to maintain our service's high availability.
First Steps Before moving on to the deployment steps, it's a good idea to familiarize yourself with Duo administration concepts and features like options for applications , available methods for enrolling Duo users , and Duo policy settings and how to apply them.
See all Duo Administrator documentation. Locate or set up a system on which you will install the Duo Authentication Proxy. The security of your Duo application is tied to the security of your secret key skey. Secure it as you would any sensitive credential. Don't share it with unauthorized individuals or email it to anyone under any circumstances! The Duo Authentication Proxy can be installed on a physical or virtual host.
To perform a silent install on Windows, issue the following from an elevated command prompt after downloading the installer replacing version with the actual version you downloaded :. Ensure that Perl and a compiler toolchain are installed. Depending on your download method, the actual filename may reflect the version e. View checksums for Duo downloads here. Follow the prompts to complete the installation.
The installer creates a user to run the proxy service and a group to own the log directory and files. You can accept the default user and group names or enter your own. The Duo Authentication Proxy configuration file is named authproxy.
With default installation paths, the proxy configuration file will be located at:. Note that as of v4. The configuration file is formatted as a simple INI file. Section headings appear as:. The Authentication Proxy may include an existing authproxy. For the purposes of these instructions, however, you should delete the existing content and start with a blank text file.
We recommend using WordPad or another text editor instead of Notepad when editing the config file on Windows. In this step, you'll set up the Proxy's primary authenticator — the system which will validate users' existing passwords.
Nakamura, and it can be confirmed from the ASA that the total number of transmitted bytes Tx is about 2. However, if the number of accesses is concentrated and all units communicate at the same time, or if bursty traffic occurs on some terminals, the throughput that can be used per unit will decrease, and depending on the application you are using, business The throughput may not be practical enough.
In addition, the higher the number of simultaneous connections and the rate of new connections, the greater the load on the ASA in managing and processing them. By lowering the maximum number of connections with the following command, you can reduce the risk of overall performance degradation due to connection and communication congestion.
For example, if you want to secure a communication speed of about 10 Mbps per desk on a product with a VPN throughput of 1 Gbps, you can secure the throughput per unit by setting the maximum number of connections to However, in reality, not all of the terminals communicate at the same time, so the maximum number of connections may be increased.
In addition, the connection exceeding the maximum connectable number will be rejected with the following syslog output. In addition, the above-mentioned specific number of connections is not limited. First, the number of VPN connections is monitored by SNMP polling, and if any threshold is exceeded, check the user connection status, appropriately tune, and consider measures such as expansion decisions. Is also one of the effective operations.
Below are some best practices and verification examples for ASAv performance optimization. Since ASA9. The latest version of AnyConnect is recommended. The following is a performance comparison when using DTLSv1.
From the following test results, it can be confirmed that high performance is easily obtained when the CPU generation is new v3 is the 3rd generation or when the frequency of the CPU core is high. In addition, the following are the test results in a simple environment and settings, and please use the reference level until the throughput varies depending on the settings, functions, environment, etc.
The DTLSv1. By default, it automatically connects with DTLSv1. Since AnyConnect 4. For DTLSv1. In this test, the settings and configurations of the ASAv and terminals were not changed, except for the AnyConnect version change. Please note that even if you use a high-performance server, ASAv will not outperform the throughput specified in advance.
If the throughput limit is exceeded, the rate limit will be applied with some grace. ASAv Network Adaptor. You can check the network adapter you are using by editing the virtual machine settings. Alternatively, you can check with the show interface command. In the following example, you can see that you are using E For exmaple, the below is quoted from ASAv 9.
You can change the crab. Expansion request: CSCvt For example, in most environments where SSL is used , executing the " crypto engine accelerator-bias ssl " command causes the core in the cryptographic processing engine to switch to SSL processing priority assignment, maximizing the performance of AnyConnect during SSL connection. Can be converted. Well both cryptographic operations are possible.
You can use the " show vpn-sessiondb detail" command to check which of SSL and IPsec is used most in your environment. Note that the execution of the " crypto engine accelerator-bias [IPsec balanced ssl]" command may be affected by communication, so please execute it during maintenance time or during a time when communication is not significantly affected.
You can check the allocation ratio and processing status of the core with the " show crypto accelerator load-balance " command. For example, the following is an example of command execution and confirmation on the ASA The cryptographic engine and number of cores differ depending on the model, and the number of assigned cores also differs. If the existing ASA does not have sufficient performance or processing capacity due to an increase in throughput or the number of simultaneous connections even if it is optimized, it will be necessary to replace it with a higher-level device or add an ASA.
The following is an example of how to respond by changing the configuration. By replacing the existing device and migrating the settings to a higher model, it is possible to improve the performance and the maximum number of connectable devices without significantly changing the settings and configurations.
The simplest and most reliable method. By designating as the backup server, you can ensure load balancing on each ASA and ensure redundancy in case of failure. Therefore, each ASA needs individual management. Especially in an environment where multiple ASAs are already used as Internet firewalls, it is an advantage that this configuration can be used relatively easily if remote access VPN server settings are made for each ASA.
The backup server can be specified using AnyConnect Client Profile. Created client profile will be automatically distributed to client and used, when the AnyConnect client is connected on the ASA. AnyConnect first connects to the shared virtual IP address of the Master machine. Since the remote access VPN processing load is distributed to each device, it is possible to avoid bottlenecks caused by concentrated connections on one device.
Note that settings and states are not synchronized on each device, so if one ASA fails, the remote access VPN connection terminated by that ASA must be restarted from the beginning. Therefore, VPN load balancing is suitable for environments where there is a margin in the ASA or public IP address and performance and the number of simultaneous connections are especially important.
For details on VPN load balancing, refer to the configuration guide for your version. For example, the following is an example configuration guide for ASA version 9. The CPU usage rate increases as the number of encryption and decryption processes increases, so when the VPN throughput is close to the limit, you can almost always see a high CPU usage rate. Even if the same VPN throughput is generated, the CPU usage rate will be affected by various factors such as the products and functions used, the setting amount, the number of simultaneous connections, the traffic pattern, the usage version, and the environment.
The following three commands are particularly useful for checking CPU usage and load. The following commands are also included when the show tech command is acquired. You can check total cpu usage by " show cpu usage " command. You can check processing load by " show process cpu-usage non " command. You can check each load of "data path" and "control point" by " show cpu detail " command. The below is software processing architecture overview of ASA software. Please refer to the following sample for the monitoring method by SNMP polling.
In addition, it is necessary to check from the command line for detailed confirmation of each process load and Control Point CP load. If it is difficult to improve the CPU high load even after tuning this document, it is necessary to consider configuration changes such as equipment upgrades and expansions.
