AnyConnect - Client profile

[Lance Wendel]

Hi all

I have a very quick question, been trying to find a solution but fail till now. The issue, is there is a default time for AcyConnect client profile to be downloaded/updated when you create a new client profile

Example: if I have already a client profile (XML), then if I create a new Client profile. When the user connects, it should be using the new client profile correct. But this was not the case. The user was using the old client profile. However the new profile was updated on the client side after 8hrs.

Ok as a workaround you could delete the xml file from the client PC, however my question is,is there is an option to enable this to be downloaded after creating the profile. I have checked everywhere with the client profile and was not be able to find any setting. If someone knows could you kindly share this please?

Thanks in advance

Hi Lancellot

as soon as you modify the profile on the ASA (or create a new one), all clients will download this profile as soon as they connect.

Two things to note though:

1. the new profile is only downloaded if the user logs in successfuly. So once the tunnel is established, you should see the new profile in the local profiles directory.

2. Many settings in the profile are applicable *before* the new profile is downloaded, i.e. some are applied only before a connection is initiated (e.g. start before logon), others only during the connection attempt( e.g. automatic certificate selection).

Similarly, if you add new ServerList entries to the profile then they will only be visible in the client GUI after the client downloads the new profile and disconnects.

Does this clarify the behavior you saw?
