Hello Community,
I was wondering. When using an ASA as a headend for a VPN (say a 5510) can the end user use a VPN Client other than Anyconnect? If so, what client supplicants are compatible?
Thanks.

My2Cents,
Not sure if this applies in your scenario as you are running legacy ASA 5510 which cannot running software version beyond 9.1.x. But if you are running ASA with software code >= 9.3.2 then ASA supports third-party clients for IKEv2 protocol:
-----
KEv2 support was added to the ASA in release 8.4. For IKEv2 remote access, the ASA only supported Cisco AnyConnect 3.0+ clients and no other third-party IKEv2 clients. From ASA release 9.3.2 and onward, we added interoperability with standards-based, third-party, IKEv2 remote access clients (in addition to AnyConnect). Authentication support includes preshared keys, certificates, and user authentication via the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP).

L2TP over IPSec (what is built into Windows). It is horrible compared to AnyConnect.

And in addition to the mentioned L2TP over IPsec, the ASAs still support the legacy EasyVPN with OS-build-in clients or third-party Clients like Shrew.
