Anyconnect Client Upgrade

matt.garlough — Thu, 13 Jan 2022 22:38:34 GMT

Hello! We are looking to upgrade our hostscan image to 4.10 in order to permit connection from machines running the lastest a/v products. We are wondering:

Will the clients be instructed to pull down the 4.10 version of Anyconnect after the upgrade? They are currently on 4.8

And will they be able to upgrade if they do not have local admin priviliges?

We are on a short time frame and would like to avoid having to deploy the 4.10 client to the enpoints in advance of the hostscan update.

Thanks in advance!

Yes, based on my experience doing client upgrades from an ASA, they will upgrade even if users aren't admins. Make sure you check the compatibility matrix for your firewall/asdm/hosscan/Anyconnect.

-Agreeing with @Ken Stieers. You will have no problem and the end users do not need admin rights for ASA webdeploy upgrade.
