Viewing active VPN sessions via ASDM

[ziqex]

Hello,

I noticed that I am unable to filter VPN sessions by username (Filter by AnyConnect Client).

filter by anyconnect client displays list off all sessions

I can see e.g. user Adam Orange in the list with user name being Adam Orange,

once I try filter by username and type Adam Orange filter value cannot contain spaces.

I tried searching with the dot between name and last name and the output does not display anything

Filtering by assigned IP address or public ip address is working without issues.

Have anybody experienced something similar?

Thank you

Hi @ziqex 

Are you running the latest version of ASDM supported by the version of ASA code you are running?

If you run the search from the CLI "show vpn-sessiondb anyconnect filter ....." using a similar filter do you get the desired result?

It is ASAv, my asdm version is 7.13(1).

With the CLI I am also not getting the result: show vpn-sessiondb anyconnect filter name Adam Orange

It is the same for any other username, when I run show vpn-sessiondb anyconnect I can see the username there.

I think it is sth to do with the space as below:

# show vpn-sessiondb anyconnect filter name Adam d?
ERROR: % Unrecognized command

Thank you.

Regards,

Daniel

Put the name in quotations " " e.g.

DC-2# show vpn-sessiondb anyconnect filter name "joe bloggs"

However it doesn't appear to work when you use quotation marks in ASDM. The error is "The filter by value cannot contain spaces". So you will need to use CLI.

I'm happy with using CLI. Commands and filtering working fine on CLI. Thank you for your help.
