Cisco Anyconnect 4.6 and windows 10

[Srin_G]

Hello,

I am currently test AC4.6 with windows 10 SOE. I got the VPN,NAM and ISE posture module installed.

Once the authentication is finished, the windows10 laptop opens a browser session (device security check) straightaway before the compliance check is completed.

I wonder what causes the browser session to be opened. Any inputs are appreciated.

Windows OS does Active probing whenever it detects network change. Windows automatic probe detects that there is a redirect and opens up a web page. This is useful in cases where the user is a hotel or a public wifi - further authentication may be required after a redirect. 

With Posture, there is a redirect phase after the initial authentication while the posture is being checked (Posture state Unknown). You can disable the probing using a registry key given in the MS document if you don't want that probe to be run.
