Configure Cisco ASA for Cisco VPN Client

[santiago.jem]

Hi everyone,

May I ask for your help or could someone point out to me some resources by which I could understand how Cisco ASA is configured so that users can to connect to HQ using Cisco VPN Client 5.

What I had in mind, is those users from halfway around the world would be able to connect to HQ using Cisco VPN Client, and using Windows Active Directory as a way users to authenticate.

I came across this blog post, which I find helpful but not totally answer my questions:

Any advise is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

If you're new to the ASA, you may be well-served by using the VPN Wizard in the ASDM GUI. For the authentication bit, add your Active Directory as a new AAA server group if it's not already defined.

See the ASDM configuration guide here:

Thanks for the info Marvin.

I'll have to read this document first. Thing is, when I tried googling what I was looking for, so many search results appear, and I end up dizzy trying to figure out what to read first.
