Common AnyConnect VPN Client Installation and Configuration Procedures

Installing the AnyConnect Client on a User’s PC

You can also use the Microsoft Installer to load the AnyConnect client software on the user’s

Windows-based PC. MSI gives Windows users a pre-install package option that provides installation,

maintenance, and removal of AnyConnect client software on Windows systems.

Installing the AnyConnect Client on a PC Running Linux

To install the AnyConnect client on a PC Running Linux, follow these steps:

Step 1

For Linux, the client files are contained in a tar/gz file. Unpack the archive with a

tar

command. For

example:

tar xvzf AnyConnect-Linux-Release-2.0.0xxx.tar.gz

The files necessary for installation are placed in the folder

ciscovpn

Step 2

Change to the

ciscovpn

folder. As a root user, run the script named

vpn_install.sh

. For example:

[root@linuxhost]# cd ciscovpn

[root@linuxhost]# ./vpn_install.sh

The client installs in the directory

/opt/cisco/vpn

. This script also installs the daemon

vpnagentd

and sets

it up as a service that is automatically started when the system boots.

After installing the client, you can start the client manually from the user interface with the Linux

command

/opt/cisco/vpn/bin/vpnui

or with the client CLI command

/opt/cisco/vpn/bin/vpn

Installing the AnyConnect Client on a PC Running MAC OSX

The AnyConnect client image for MAC OSX is a DMG disk image installation package. To install the

AnyConnect client on a system running MAC OSX, follow these steps:

Step 1

Transfer the installation package file to the desktop and double-click the file. Select one of the following

files:

•

anyconnect-macosx-i386-2.0.xxx.dmg

•

anyconnect-macosx-powerpc-2.0.xxx.dmg

This creates a VPN icon representing the installation package file.

Step 2

Double-click the vpn icon to initiate the installation. Follow the sequence of the vpnclient installer,

accepting the licensing agreement, selecting the destination volume, and then selecting the “Upgrade”

option to perform a basic installation.

Note

The installer requires that you authenticate.

The installation is complete.
