Where do I upload the XML file

[esteban2020]

I have a new "SBL-Client-Profile.xml" that I need to upload to our FMC so it can be pushed to our user's when they connect to the VPN through the Secure Client. The only issue I'm having right now is finding where I can upload the new " .xml " file in the FMC. Any guidance on this would be most appreciated.

@esteban2020 edit the group policy used by the connection profile, then choose Secure Client > Profile, choose Client Profile and add the XML profile, deploy the policy to the FTD.

I have a follow-up question.

For first time users, are they required to input the URL to the VPN in order to establish a successful connection?

(I am recreating a scenario where a new hire is being issued a new device.)

So, I uninstalled the Secure Client and Deleted the entire Cisco folder in the (Program Data) directory. Then when I downloaded the client from the URL and tried to establish a connection I received this error... Is this expected behavior for first time users? Or is there an additional entry needing to be made to the XML profile that's uploaded to the FMC?

@esteban2020 is the hostname you configured in the profile resolvable when connected on the internet? You will need to create a DNS entry and resolve that to the outside IP address of the firewall.

I can access the url "vpn.acmecompany.com" and download the Secure Client without any issues. But, no I cannot resolve the new HostName I gave it in the XML file.

Okay, so the DNS entry I'll need to make is something like this?...

A Record: acme vpn

IP: <Public/Outside IP Address Here>

[Rob Ingram]

@esteban2020 yes, create a public DNS entry for the FQDN you configured in the XML profile that resolves to the Firewall's outside IP address.
