AnyConnectProfile.xml/tmpl Syntax

[paul.pearston]

Hi,

At the end of the AnyConnect web deployment installation, AnyConnect attempts to connect to the gateway listed in my custom profile and fails with the error "Invalid host entry. Please re-enter". I can see that AnyConnect is trying to establish a SSL session with the gateway, and if I type the IP address as opposed to the HostName listed within the .xml I get connected.

The configuration appears simple, i.e.,

<HostEntry>

<!--

Can be an alias used to refer to the host or an FQDN or

IP address. If an FQDN or IP address is used, a

HostAddress is not required.

-->

<HostName>SSL-South.dns.co.uk</HostName>

<HostAddress>172.31.31.31</HostAddress>

<UserGroup>SSL_webvpn</UserGroup>

</HostEntry>

But the documentation is very ambiguous. Any advice on the correct syntax including any dependency on the profle name would be helpful?

Thanks,

Paul

I had this same issue and the answer for me was posted elsewhere on these groups.

Essentially, I was entering my Tunnel Group into the tag. These are not the same thing. Once I removed the entry in the XML, I had no further issues.
