AnyConnect Hostscan - "Secure Desktop Manager" tab is missing

[Michal Rzepecki]

Hi,

I'm trying to run AnyConnect Hostscan. I'm doing configuration in "dmz" context. ASA version is 9.8(2)38 and ASDM version is 7.10(1). I can't see "Secure Desktop Manager" tab in left pane in ASDM. If I try to click "Secure Desktop Manager" link (like on image) I'm getting page not found error. "csd" commands are also unavailable in CLI (webvpn section).

It seems hostscan should be available https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/asa/asa910/asdm710/vpn/asdm-710-vpn-config/vpn-asdm-setup.html#ID-2188-00000f6f

Active licenses are depicted on license image.

Can anyone help me to find out what is the problem?

Hostscan is not supported on multiple context. Referenced below:

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/asa/asa910/configuration/general/asa-910-general-config/ha-contexts.html

Multiple context mode does not currently support the following features for remote access VPN:

AnyConnect 2.x and earlier

IKEv1

WebLaunch

VLAN Mapping

HostScan

VPN load balancing

Customization

L2TP/IPsec

It is very neccesary information but I have another question - is the hostscan only one thing that can be configured in "Secure Desktop Manager" tab? Is the "Secure Desktop Manager" tab not supported in multi-context environment?

Secure Desktop Manager is legacy Cisco technology. A few years ago, Cisco deprecated all the features in Secure Desktop except for Hostscan. As of today, the only feature available within that Secure Desktop Manager Section is Hostscan. See below:

Do you know if hostscan in context is on roadmap or not?
