#CISCO ANYCONNECT VPN AUTHENTICATION FAILED UPGRADE#
It is the VPN Administrators job to upgrade the Cisco An圜onnect version, package the Cisco An圜onnect client and distribute the customized installer that includes the configuration settings along with it.Īs an example, if I am to VPN connect to ABC Company, then the company provides the VPN client along with login credentials and perhaps including multi-factor App based authentication. These are almost always IT managed VPN services from a company or educational institution. However, most all VPN systems through which you would connect with Cisco An圜onnect will have a configuration profile provided by the VPN Administrator. Screenshots of the errors would be useful, also any Cisco An圜onnect logs. You have yet to state the precise errors you are encountering. I cannot assist you if you do not provide all the necessary technical details. Installer -pkg /Volumes//anyconnect.pkg -target / Hdiutil attach /Users/Shared/anyconnect-macos-6-core-vpn-webdeploy-k9.dmg Finally stage the custom package on a distribution point and then either push it to the managed Macs or allow the users to pull it from a Self-Service or Customer Portal, etc.Īlternatively, you could copy the DMG to the Mac and have a script do something like this: Then I may decide to create a customized PKG with the configurations for the company VPN, etc. Next I'll use Suspicious Package to examine the PKG file and look at the scripts and determine what it is doing and how it is doing it. I would normally deconstruct a package like this by mounting the DMG then going to /Volumes/ in Terminal and listing the files and look for hidden files "ls -la". It's distributed as a DMG file which is an Apple Disk Image and inside the DMG when mounted is a PKG installer and a Profiles folder and perhaps some hidden files in the DMG. Typically, an IT department would be managing Macs with an MDM or other agent driven management tool and they would deploy this App with the company profile included and do it in a fully automated fashion.
