CSD - Distinguish Iphone OS and Mac OS

[francoisverges]

Hey everyone,

Using Cisco Secure Desktop (CSD) would it be possible to distinguish if a user using Anyconnect is connecting from an Iphone (Iphone OS) or from a Macbook (Mac OS) ?

I haven't found the answer so far. CSD doesn't seems to distinguish it.

Here are the OS that CSD checks :

• Win 2K/XP/Vista
• Win 9x
• Mac
• Linux
• Failure

I use the version 3.6.6234-k9 of CSD.

Thank you !

Hi Francois,

You could do Endpoint Assessment for iOS as well using CSD's hostscan feature integrated with Dynamic Access Policy (DAP) feature.

Currently, there is no option available for checking iOS using CSD's Pre-login policy feature.

Please also go through this document which talks about Mobile Posture Assessment:

Hope the information is informative.
