Chapter 7 Configuring and Using AnyConnect Client Operating Modes and User Profiles
Configuring and Using User Profiles
Step 1 Retrieve a copy of the profiles file (AnyConnectProfile.xml) from a client installation. Table 7-2 shows
the installation path for each operating system.
Step 2 Edit the profiles file. The example below shows the contents of the profiles file (AnyConnectProfile.xml)
for Windows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!--
This is a template file that can be configured to support the
identification of secure hosts in your network.
The file needs to be renamed to CiscoAnyConnectProfile.xml.
The svc profiles command imports updated profiles for downloading to
client machines.
-->
<Configuration>
<ClientInitialization>
<UseStartBeforeLogon>false</UseStartBeforeLogon>
</ClientInitialization>
<HostProfile>
<HostName></HostName>
<HostAddress></HostAddress>
</HostProfile>
<HostProfile>
<HostName></HostName>
<HostAddress></HostAddress>
</HostProfile>
</Configuration>
The <HostProfile> tags are frequently edited so that the AnyConnect client displays the names and
addresses of host computers for remote users. The following example shows the <HostName> and
<HostAddress> tags, with the name and address of a host computer inserted:
<HostProfile>
<HostName>Sales_gateway</
HostName>
<HostAddress>209.165.200.
225</HostAddress>
</HostProfile>
Step 3 To identify to the security appliance the client profiles file to load into cache memory, select
Configuration > Remote Access VPN > Network (Client) Access > Advanced > Client Settings
(Figure 7-1).
