Remote Access SSL VPN Certificate Authentication Issues

Hello,

I have been tasked with upgrading an SSL VPN solution to add a VPN profile that utilizes certificate authentication (the other profiles currently use AAA).

Before I make a start on the live systems I want to get it working in a lab environment, but have come across the following issue:

When logging into the VPN using the Anyconnect client I get the following message:

I am running Anyconnect version 3.1.06078 and ASA version 8.4(2)

I have a Windows 2008 server running as a certificate authority.

I have imported the CA root certificate onto the ASA and issued a certificate to the ASA using a "server authentication" certificate template.

I have imported the CA root certificate onto the client machine and issued a certificate to the client using a "user" certificate template.

From the ASA's point of view everything seems OK, it recognises the client certificate and the certificate is validated (CRL checking is disabled for now)  For this reason I think that the Anyconnect client may have an issue with the cert on the ASA? see ASA logs below:

 

I have read Cisco's requirements for the certificates, which as I understand it is as follows:

ASA certificate:

Key usage: Digital Signature and Key Encipherment

EKU: Server Authentication

Client certificate:

Key usage: Digital Signature and Key Encipherment

EKU: Client Authentication

 

Here is my ASA certificate information:

Here is my client certificate information:

 

I have attached a copy of the ASA configuration file.

If anyone can help with this it would be greatly appreciated!

 

Kind Regards,

Rhys.

As it turns out an upgrade to ASA 9.1.5 sorted all of my problems.
