How can I import .pcf profile into Cisco AnyConnect?

[Josetxo]

Hi,

I need to import .pcf profile information into Cisco Anyconnect in order to run it under x64 laptop. We use to ru Cisco VPN Client, but it doens't run with x64 hardware. Can anybody help me in the configuration of cisco anyconnect in order to import an existing .pcf profile?

Thanks in advance.

You can't directly import a legacy PCF file into AnyConnect.  The same concept is achieved using an AnyConnect XML profile.  You can read more about this at the links below.

Dear Auritza,

open the anyconnect then click on connection entries then import then select the file.....that's all.

Mohammed,

That will not work on Cisco Anyconnect. There is no Connection entries menu. This is only present in the legacy Cisco VPN client software.

The PCF files from this Cisco VPN client cannot be directly used with the Anyconnect client. Todd's answer was correct.

How do you define "solve" when you ask about solving the issue in the original post about importing the content of the pcf file into AnyConnect? If you define it as getting the content of a pcf file directly into AnyConnect then there is no solution. There is not any way to get the content of the Cisco traditional ipsec vpn client pcf file directly into AnyConnect. As Todd mentioned the closest you can come to getting pcf into AnyConnect is to analyze what the pcf file was indicating and then configure similar parameters into an xml profile used by AnyConnect.
