Error reading XML when creating profile.

[Cybervex3]

Hello All

I am trying to setup a SSL VPN Client Profile so I can set an alternate VPN server

I name it then browse the flash for the profile package. After hitting OK I receive a status window stating that the ASDM is validating the XML profile then I receive : Error in reading the XML from the device for validation.

Has anyone run into this?  Where should I start?

Thanks in advance

Jay

Jay,

Profile needs to be valid XML ... are you sure that the file you're specifying is a valid XML?

If you need a quick validation of profile - open it with firefox :-)

I did not realize I was supposed to be picking a XML file.  I thought I was just naming a profile and selecting the AnyConnect package it should be using.

I was working from these instructions:

Jay,

I'm no expert on ASDM, but I guess what you were trying to do maps to this command:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/asa/asa82/command/reference/s8.html#wp1519096

as opposed to;
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/asa/asa82/command/reference/s8.html#wp1515211

But as I said, I don't usually work with ASDM except for the parts one needs to do (like customization, DAP, profile edition + I found wizards actually useful in some cases, I think the development has done an awesome job to make it very user friendly).

Thanks for the help.  The first link is pretty much what I am trying to do.  I had thought I was to select the AnyConnect package rather than a XML file.

My question now is: Where is this XML file? Or: How do I create it?

Thanks again

Jay

Jay,

First of all I would advise to use latest Anyconnect and ASDM packages.

The configuration guide is located here:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/vpn_client/anyconnect/anyconnect25/administration/guide/ac03features.html#wp1228114

It contains some info on how to navigate through adding XML profile.
