AnyConnect under Linux

[Alexander Hartmaier]

I'm struggling with the AnyConnect Client for Linux since it was released.

With AnyConnect 3.0 released I've tried it again, and failed.

The release notes list Ubuntu 10.10 as supported:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/docs/security/vpn_client/anyconnect/anyconnect30/release/notes/anyconnect30rn.html#wp949967

Although there is a special 64bit client to be installed on the ASA, the release notes say:

AnyConnect SMC 3.0 reportedly runs on 64-bit Linux, although we do not support it.

I've found numerous guides which all describe the old versions prior to the 64bit client release and how to install a 32bit Firefox and so on.

The error message I instantly get when trying to connect is:

AnyConnect cannon confirm it is connected to your security gateway. The local network may not be trustworthy. Please try another network.

I'm behind a proxy but can resolve the ASAs hostname locally.

Running the cilent as root didn't help and an strace didn't show anything useful either.

Can someone please link to a current one or add one here?

Thanks!

Alexander,

I would say, run last test without proxy.

If behavior with and without proxy is the same - run this by TAC, ideally you would also do it on supported system ;-)

provide strace for TAC to analyze and let's see.
