Cisco AnyConnect on iPad with configuration on Cisco ASA5516

Hello everyone,

I am having a request from the user who need to use the iPad accessing to a specific subnet (say 10.10.142.x) so that the software can be run. I believed that it could be kind of unicast / multicast as because other than that network, the software cannot be registered into that application controller. e.g. I am in the network of 10.10.184.x subnet, the software even I installed it cannot be seen by the controller so I can't make the application work.

Now, I am thinking of using the existing tools - Cisco Anyconnect on my iPad so that I can VPN and specify to that specific subnet (10.10.142.x).

Currently all users in the company are using Windows OS. It means that we can use the Cisco Anyconnect, with certificate issued and installed to the laptops, with RADIUS to our AD domain.

I wonder if this is something doable. Is there any license concerns if I need to use the Cisco Secure Client on iOS?

Or any other method that I can make my life easier. If possible, any documents that can advise me on how to setup the configurations on the ASA?

Licensing is not problem given the status you shared - you have "AnyConnect for Mobile". That's the old name that indicates your AnyConnect license includes support for mobile devices (tablets and smart phones).

The problem is that the device's IP address while on VPN will need to be assigned to a VPN pool that exists on the ASA. That pool will not be the internal subnet 10.10.142.x unless that subnet is serviced directly by the ASA as the gateway.

Thank you.

For the subnet in ASA, I think I have defined it in the network object group. So can I say this is being serviced?

object-group network PROD_LAN
 network-object 10.10.5.0 255.255.255.0
 network-object 10.10.142.0 255.255.255.0

I have tested with one testing user account, and with a certificate on Windows OS. But at the time I send it over to iPad / iPhone, it has some issues on adding the certificate into Cisco AnyConnect.

The cert is in .p12 format with the password on hand. I tried to use "Share" into the VPN Client, it keeps saying my password was incorrect. Then I tried to put a certificate onto a shared drive, with the URL, then import the certificate by copying the URL, it says "Unable to import certificate due to incorrect password..." I can confirm that the password on hand works fine as I can decrypt it in Windows OS.

Cheers,

Timothy

 

 

 

Unless an ASA interface is the default gateway for that subnet, you cannot assign your iPad (or any other VPN device) an address from that subnet.
