Modes
The following table shows the modes in which this feature is available:
AnyConnect Essentials
AnyConnect Essentials is a separately licensed SSL VPN client, entirely configured on the adaptive
security appliance, that provides the full AnyConnect capability, with the following exceptions:
• No CSD (including HostScan/Vault/Cache Cleaner)
• No clientless SSL VPN
• Optional Windows Mobile Support (requires AnyConnect for Windows Mobile license)
The AnyConnect Essentials client provides remote end users running Microsoft Windows Vista,
Windows Mobile, Windows XP or Windows 2000, Linux, or Macintosh OS X, with the benefits of a
Cisco SSL VPN client.
To enable AnyConnect Essentials, check the Enable AnyConnect Essentials check box on the
AnyConnect Essentials pane, which appears only if the AnyConnect Essentials license is installed on the
adaptive security appliance.
When AnyConnect Essentials is enabled, AnyConnect clients use Essentials mode, and clientless SSL
VPN access is disabled. When AnyConnect Essentials is disabled, AnyConnect clients use the full
AnyConnect SSL VPN Client.
Note The status information about the AnyConnect Essentials license on the Configuration > Device
Management > Licensing > Activation Key pane simply reflects whether the AnyConnect Essentials
license is installed. This status is not affected by the setting of the Enable AnyConnect Essentials License
check box.
AnyConnect Essentials mode cannot be enabled when active clientless sessions exist to the device. To
view SSL VPN session details click the Monitoring > VPN > VPN Sessions link in the SSL VPN
Sessions section. This opens the Monitoring > VPN > VPN > VPN Statistics > Sessions pane. To see
session details, choose Filter By: Clientless SSL VPN and click Filter. This displays session details.
To see how many clientless SSL VPN sessions are currently active, without showing session details,
click Check Number of Clientless SSL Sessions. If the SSL VPN session count is zero, you can enable
AnyConnect Essentials.
Note Secure Desktop does not work when AnyConnect Essentials is enabled. You can, however, disable
AnyConnect Essentials when you enable Secure Desktop.
