Anyconnect and Mobile Clients

[j44mistry]

Hello,

I trying to establish what the difference is between Cisco Anyconnect and configuring just normal VPN on a iPhone IOS inbulit feature?

I can use my iphone to connect to the vpn in the offices and receive emails.    

How is Cisco Anyconnect any different ?

Anyconnect will offer more features + allow you to use both IPsec (IKEv2) and SSL for connect.

Built in client allows IPsec (IKEv1).

Anyconnect is configurable has a lot of features, and can do a lot more things.

Built in client allows you do connect and that's aboout that.

Since Anyconnect has more features it is also more complex (mostly hidden from users), while built in client is pretty basic.

You can read up on AC on iOS features here:

Can Anyconnect be setup with Reverse Bluecoat ?

[Andrew Phirsov]

What do u mean by saying "with reverse bluecoat"? You definitely are not going to put your vpn gateway behind bluecoat. So why wouldn't it work with it?

We currently have a Bluecoat 510-10 SG Reverse Proxy and wanted to know if Anyconnect will proxy connection or do we still need a VPN  gateway ?
