Sample AnyConnect Profile and XML Schema
.xml is pushed to the SSL VPN Client (AnyConnect) PC
And can be found under
XP
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Cisco\Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client\Profile
VISTA
C:\ProgramData\Cisco\Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client\Profile
For XP it works. But under Vista it doesn't
Under XP with a ctrl-alt-del the GUI for AnyConnect starts.
And I heard that under Vista there should be an extra icon on the right side of the logon screen.
But under the tested systems it doesn't appear...
These bugs I found for the standard VPN Client:

CSCse47544 Bug Details
Vista: VPN Client does not support Start Before Logon
Windows Vista no longer supports GINA technology that was used by VPN Client to implement Start Before Login functionality.
As a result, the Cisco VPN Client does not support Start Before Login functionality on Vista.
CSCsi35107 Bug Details
Vista: Start Before Login (SBL) not available
Symptom:
Unable to find the SBL configuration settings in the GUI.
Workaround:
Vista does not support the XP style GINA therefore SBL has been removed. This feature is not planned for the Cisco VPN Client.
Force Net Logon may be used to achieve similar (drive mapping, etc) functionality.
Did anyone get this working under VISTA with the AnyConnect Client??
