Roaming Security Module with FMC/FTD

[anthony.t]

At this time I know that the AnyConnect Roaming Security Module and for a matter of fact no other modules for AnyConnect are supported by the FMC/FTD environment.    We lost the feature of using the AnyConnect Roaming Security when we upgraded to our 2130's.  This has caused a lapse in security as some of our users are going out without this protection. Does anybody know if this is on Cisco's roadmap? Please advise if you have heard word on this.

You can continue to use AnyConnect Roaming Security module (Umbrella connection) even though you use an FMC-managed (or FDM-managed) FTD device as your VPN headend. I use it that way every day.

You just cannot deploy the module from FTD. You need to deploy it via separate means (manual install, Windows SCCM etc.)

As far as Cisco's roadmap they don't generally publish those publicly. They are aware of the limitation though and we have been pressing them to remedy the situation.
