Hello,
We would like to deploy via our EMM solution and configure a Per-App VPN to our managed devices through the Cisco AnyConnect app. It is important to specify here that I do not know the product AnyConnect.
The goal is to be able to specify which applications should connect through the VPN. We would like that the process is transparent to the user. The user launches the application, the application opens a VPN connection. When the user closes the application, the VPN connection is disconnected.
Via our EMM solution, we have configure an App Catalog rule in order to deploy the app via a Managed Play Store
which allows us at the same time to push the configurations of the application. The App Configuration let us specify which apps have to be tunneled : Great !
Problem is that this App Configuration does not allow us to specify a username, a password and a group, only the host can be specified.
We can for sure deploy an AnyConnect profile to the device.
It is something I never done before but here is an example of what I have found :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<AnyConnectProfile xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/encoding/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/encoding/ AnyConnectProfile.xsd">
<ServerList>
<HostEntry>
<User>***</User>
<UserGroup>***</UserGroup>
<HostName>***</HostName>
<HostAddress>***</HostAddress>
</HostEntry>
</ServerList>
</AnyConnectProfile>
But here again, where to specify the userPassword because we would like the Per-App VPN be transparent for the user without the need for him to enter a password by himself..
Many thanks for your help.
BR, Yoan
