Unable to use 3rd Party SSL VPN when connected via Anyconnect

[GRANT3779]

Hi All,

We have a laptop that when plugged into our Corporate Network - We can use web browser to connect to a 3rd Party SSL VPN to be able to then use Apps via their Citrix Portal.

If we then connect that laptop (or any others) to our Corporate Network over Anyconnect - We lose the ability to connect to 3rd party VPN. (just doesn't work - No real informative error message as such)

Would this be normal behaviour or am I missing something in the Anyconnect config?

Many Thanks

I do not know that I would expect two SSL VPNs to run on the same laptop at the same time. Are both VPNs assigning an IP address for their sessions? Are both VPNs adding entries to the routing table?

Hi Rick,

Eventually go the guy into the office for some checks.

When they connect to the client 3rd Party SSL - it gives them a seperate IP address on a virtual Juniper adapter it looks like. 

I'm now wondering if it's even possible to connect to another SSL VPN, whilst connected through Anyconnect.

I am not authoritative on this, but I would expect that it would not work to connect to another SSL VPN whilst connected through AnyConnect. So I believe that what you are observing is the expected behavior.
