Unable to use "Start before Login" or keep connection alive

[bsuarez01]

Hello, we are using Version 3.1.02026 as our Cisco VPN client.

In earler versions we were able to use a feature, "Start before login" this would permit the users to have access to LAN resources before signing into the Windows operating system (Windows 7, 64 BIT). We were also able to switch between user profiles and the VPN connection would stay alive. Now the client will ONLY be available after the Windows login. I would really like to have these features in order to work with remote users and reduce the risk of security issues.

Is there any way to get this working as it should?

In old VPN client- you were able to select this option within VPN client. Worked in Windows XP, but didn't work on Windows 7. The link below will answer that question.

For AnyConnect client- you'll have to configure Cisco ASA, which will push SBL profile with AnyConnect client. Below is the link which will help you-

I have tested and deployed on Windows XP and Windows 7 and works great. Good luck.
