AnyConnect and Administration

aprather — Fri, 21 Feb 2020 11:13:42 GMT

Hi all,

So a couple of weeks ago I installed 64 bit Vista on all of my computers at the house.

I was then asked to do some work from home and when I went to install the VPN client, I realized that 64 bit is not supported.

I configured my ASA for Anyconnect support and was able to get logged in using the Anyconnect client.

The problem I have now is that I cannot get ASDM to work over this client in order to administer my ASA. What are the limitations of the Anyconnect client? I see more and more users going to 64 bit at home. Am I doing something wrong in not being able to use ASDM via Anyconnect?

Thanks!

Try:-

http x.x.x.x y.y.y.y inside

make sure that the x.x.x.x subnet also contains the IP subnet range of the SSL VPN Client pool of addresses!

In addition to my friend Andrew's suggestion you may need to add management-access in order to manage asa over ipsec tunnels including annyconnect.

Thank you for the replies.

I apologize, but I failed to mention that before upgrading to 64 bit Vista, I was able to administer the ASA via ASDM using the old VPN client.

So Im pretty sure everything is configured to work correctly through a VPN tunnel.

The only change was going from a normal VPN client on a 32 bit OS to the Anyconnect client on a 64 bit machine.

I tried the anyconnect on multiple machines and neither would allow me administration.

Thanks!

Can you confirm that ? on asa u want to manage issue bellow.

show run | inc management

output of above should look management-access inside -> for asa5505 or management-access managemment for other asa5500 models

also confirm Adrews statement and ensure annyconnect tunnel group IP network is permitted

show run | inc http

can you ping the asa inside interface while vpn-in through annyconnect? can you atleast telnet to asa through inside interface?

I may have in fact found my issue. I will update as soon as I get to my home or a spot where I can use VPN for testing.

Thanks!

Enabled SSL Anyconnect client on a test SSL connection on a ASA. Can connect and manage the device thru AnyConnect over the SSL.

If you have issues - your configuration is incorrect.
