cant connect to sandbox using AnyConnect on Mac

RobertMiles14080 — Sat, 20 Jun 2020 19:57:50 GMT

Hi,

I am trying to connect to the Sandbox from my Mac using AnyConnect at this url:
Lab Network Address: devnetsandbox-usw1-reservation.cisco.com:20108

but I get an error:

No certificate store has been found. VPN connection cannot be established.

Any idea how to get this working?

Are you admin user?

When do you get the error? before or after the username/password pop-up window?

yes, I am an admin user. I get it immediatelly after I press connect, before the username/pw would be asked.

the issue most likely local to your mac ... what does the anyconnect profile looks like?

use cat or more command to see the contents.

cat /opt/cisco/anyconnect/profile/AnyConnect.xml

more /opt/cisco/anyconnect/profile/AnyConnect.xml

This is a working profile on my laptop. I guess the area of interest is <CertificateStore>.

You can compare or copy/paste this profile and test.

Have you tried to re-install AC? I am using ver 4.7.04056

Hi, I dont even have this file on my disk.

mbp ~ % cd /opt/cisco/anyconnect/profile/

mbp profile % ls

AnyConnectProfile.xsd mgmttun

mbp profile % ls -la

total 184

drwxr-xr-x 4 root wheel 128 19 Jun 2019 .

drwxr-xr-x 16 root wheel 512 20 Jun 22:39 ..

-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 92913 19 Jun 2019 AnyConnectProfile.xsd

drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 96 19 Jun 2019 mgmttun

hm, I tried with v. 4.8 and v 4.9.
Let me try to uninstall these and rollback to 4.7. (if it is still downloadable).
Ty.

Might worth a try .. how about if you create a file with this name "AnyConnect.xml" and paste the contents of my profile (profile doesn't have anything user-specific).

This how my profile directory looks like -

├── profile
│   ├── ABC3ASAProfile.xml
│   ├── AnyConnect.xml
│   ├── AnyConnectProfile.xsd
│   └── mgmttun
│     └── AnyConnectProfile.xsd

1 directory, 4 files

Contents of ABC3ASAProfile.xml are exactly the same as AnyConnect.xml

I use Devent site to download AC - https://developer.cisco.com/site/sandbox/anyconnect/

So, I installed v 4.7 and also now I don't have the mentioned .xml file created.

I will now create your file and test again. TY

on what OS are you @omz ?
I am on Catalina 10.15.5.
