Cisco security client Linux 5.X can not attach to vpn server

RinatMustafin

on my linux machine

Linux kali-pc 6.1.0-kali7-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.1.20-2kali1 (2023-04-18) x86_64 GNU/Linux

i've tried to install

cisco-secure-client-dart_5.0.01242_amd64.deb

but when i try to run vpn client

connect capability is unavailable because the VPN service is unavailable

though i can ping and reach required vpn server ip and can dig it url

when i run cisco secure client 5.0.01242 on another windows machine then they can establish VPN. so VPN server is running normally

also  no connection to VPN service. Reattach failed state is confusing me.

looks like there is problem that prohibits secure client from accessing my wifi connection.

Can anyone help me with this, please?

need to create installation manual for Linux. Nothing there only windows and mac.

the solution that helped me:

─# systemctl status vpnagentd.service
○ vpnagentd.service - Cisco Secure Client - AnyConnect VPN Agent
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/vpnagentd.service; disabled; preset: disabled)
Active: inactive (dead)

┌──(root㉿kali-pc)-[/home/kali]
└─# systemctl enable vpnagentd.service
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/vpnagentd.service → /lib/systemd/system/vpnagentd.service.

┌──(root㉿kali-pc)-[/home/kali]
└─# systemctl status vpnagentd.service
○ vpnagentd.service - Cisco Secure Client - AnyConnect VPN Agent
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/vpnagentd.service; enabled; preset: disabled)
Active: inactive (dead)

┌──(root㉿kali-pc)-[/home/kali]
└─# systemctl start vpnagentd.service

Thanks for the post @RinatMustafin 

It helped and in my case I also had to update this file below to /opt/cisco/secure/ as it was still pointing to the old /opt/cisco/anyconnect/ folder

/etc/systemd/system/vpnagentd.service
