Cisco anyconnect XML profile on an M1 Macbook

[vincentbas]

Hi all,

I just installed Cisco anyconnect on my brand new Macbook pro. In order to be able to work remotely I need to use an XML profile that is provided by my company. Unfortunately the dropdown in the client does not show the XML profile that I added to the following path as instructed here:

path: opt/cisco/anyconnect/profile

related post: https://community.cisco.com/t5/vpn/how-to-install-xml-profiles-for-anyconnect-for-mac/td-p/2349880

Can someone please tell me what I'm missing? Below you can find a screenshot of the empty dropdown as described earlier:

Kind regards and thanks in advance!

AnyConnect macOS 11 Big Sur Advisory - Cisco - I used this article as reference and created a AnyConnectProfile.xml as follows to pre-populate connection string and to hide and set the app to open on demand but somehow not taking effect. Please assist.

Platform: macOS Ventura
