AnyConnect Profiles

[amcinnis1]

Currently have AnyConnect deployed within a med size office.  We would like to add another location within the drop down menu for the Cisco AnyConnect Mobilty Client.  Is it possible to push this new location out to all users that currently have Mobilty Client installed on their laptops...or do they have to add this manually ?

Perhaps there is some aspect of your question that I am not adequately understanding which would change the answer. But generally the content of the drop down menu is controlled in the configuration of the VPN head end. So if you add a new entry in the menu it should automatically show up in the menu of users. No need for users to manually add anything.

Hey Rich,

Its more likely how I laid out the question...and also, i new to Cisco AnyConnect.  When a user first double clicks on the AnyConnect icon..you get the connect option, with potential drop downs on the left hand side.  I am looking to add an option to that drop down menu, however going through the documentation...it isn't clear what that first drop down menu is actually called.

Thanks for the additional information. I think I have a better understanding of your question. The content of the dropdown that you get after you double click the AnyConnect icon is controlled by the configuration of the XML profile which can be configured as part of deploying AnyConnect. Within the profile is a section for server and backup server and it is the identified servers that populate the dropdown. The content of the relevant part of the profile might look something like this

    <ServerList>
        <HostEntry>
            <HostName>vpn1.mycompany.com</HostName>
            <BackupServerList>
                <HostAddress>vpn2.mycompany.com</HostAddress>
            </BackupServerList>
        </HostEntry>
    </ServerList>

HTH
