Cisco Secure Client is available for mobile devices on app distribution sites, such as iTunes or Google Play, or provided as a native app shipped by the manufacturer. Each Cisco Secure Client app runs on a limited set of devices or OS versions. The versions of Cisco Secure Client running on smart phones does not have to match the desktop versions pushed by and supported by the Secure Firewall ASA. The Secure Firewall ASA must be running 8.0(4) to support mobile devices.

See the Cisco Secure Client for the mobile device platforms currently supported and the features available on these platforms.

Refer to the End-of-Sale and End-of-Life Announcement for the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client for information about the end-of-sale and end-of-life date set for Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client, Version 3.x and 4.x. You are encouraged to migrate to Cisco Secure Client 5.1.x (Advantage or Premier licenses), which grant access to Cisco Secure Client software.

We always recommend that you upgrade to the latest Secure Firewall Posture, formerly HostScan, engine version. Cisco Secure Client will not establish a VPN connection when used with an incompatible version of Secure Firewall Posture. Ensure that you are running the version of Secure Firewall Posture that is the same version as Cisco Secure Client.

Cisco performs a portion of Cisco Secure Client testing using these virtual machine environments:

• VMWare ESXi Hypervisor (vSphere) 4.0.1

• VMWare Fusion 2.x, 3.x, and 4.x

We do not support running Cisco Secure Client in virtual environments; however, we expect it to function properly in the VMWare environments we test in.

If you encounter any issues with Cisco Secure Client in your virtual environment, please report them. We will make our best effort to resolve them.

Cisco Secure Client (including AnyConnect), Release 5.1 supports the following operating systems.

Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client 4.9 supports the following operating systems.

Beginning with macOS Catalina release (10.15), the operating system will no longer support the executing of 32-bit binaries. Additionally, applications must be cryptographically notarized in order to be installed by the operating system. Cisco AnyConnect 4.8.00175 is the first version that officially supports operation on macOS Catalina and contains no 32-bit code.

The Snap version of Firefox is not supported by AnyConnect on Linux. Mozilla's Firefox is the officially supported browser on Linux.

The recommended version of AnyConnect for macOS 10.13 (High Sierra) is AnyConnect 4.5.02XXX and above.

AnyConnect 4.5.02XXX and above has additional functionality and warnings to guide users through the steps needed to leverage AnyConnect’s complete capabilities, by enabling the AnyConnect software extension in their macOS Preferences -> Security & Privacy pane. The requirement to manually enable the software extension is a new operating system requirement in macOS 10.13 (High Sierra). Additionally, if AnyConnect is upgraded to 4.5.02XXX and above before a user’s system is upgraded to macOS 10.13 or later, the user will automatically have the AnyConnect software extension enabled.

Users running macOS 10.13 (High Sierra) with a version of AnyConnect earlier than 4.5.02XXX must enable the AnyConnect software extension in their macOS Preferences -> Security & Privacy pane. Although AnyConnect 4.4.04030 and 4.5.01044 have been tested to work with macOS 10.13 (High Sierra), those users will not have the additional functionality and warning guidance added to AnyConnect 4.5.02XXX.

IKEv2 support was added to the Secure Firewall ASA in release 8.4. For IKEv2 remote access, the Secure Firewall ASA only supported Cisco AnyConnect 3.0+ clients and no other third-party IKEv2 clients. From Secure Firewall ASA release 9.3.2 and onward, we added interoperability with standards-based, third-party, IKEv2 remote access clients (in addition to Cisco Secure Client). Authentication support includes preshared keys, certificates, and user authentication via the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP).

All releases of the Secure Firewall ASA support the native L2TP/IPsec VPN client on Android mobile devices. The following are required:

• Mobile devices must be using the Android 2.1.

• The Secure Firewall ASA must be running ASA 8.4(1).

The Android Release 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) L2TP/IPsec client has been qualified by Cisco connected to a Secure Firewall ASA running releases 8.4.4.1 and 8.4.4.3.

All releases of the Secure Firewall ASA support both the native IPsec and L2TP/IPsec clients on macOS 10.5.

All releases of the Secure Firewall ASA support both IPsec and L2TP/IPsec connectivity with the following Apple mobile devices:

• iPhone with iOS 3.1.x

• iPad with iOS 3.2.x

• iPod Touch with iOS 3.1.x

We highly recommend Secure Firewall ASA 8.0(x) software release, but you can also use 7.2(x).

For feature details and IPsec set-up recommendations for secure gateway support of Apple devices, see the Cisco VPN Server Configuration section in the Apple iPhone OS Enterprise Deployment Guide.

Desktop

All releases of the Secure Firewall ASA support the native L2TP/IPsec client on Microsoft Windows.

The Secure Firewall ASA support the native L2TP/IPsec client on Windows 8 x86 32-bit or x86 64-bit.

Tablet

Secure Firewall ASA versions 8.4.5 and 9.0.1 and higher support the Microsoft Surface RT running Windows 8.

Mobile

Cisco has successfully tested the native L2TP/IPsec client on the following mobile OSs with the Secure Firewall ASA:

• Microsoft Windows Mobile 2003 for Pocket PC PDA

• Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 PDA and PDA Phone

Windows Mobile supports MS-CHAP v1 and v2, and pre-shared keys. Thus, it requires authentication with RADIUS and TACACS using a Microsoft Windows server OS that supports NTLM Version 1. Such OSs are collectively referred to as NT servers. They support no more than 14-character user passwords.

Some Windows Mobile 2003 (HP iPAQ h4150) and 5.0 (HP iPAQ hx 2495b) PDAs support enrollment with an available certificate authority server and can use certificate-based authentication.

The following third-party vendors offer VPN clients for Windows Mobile that work with the Secure Firewall ASA: Antha, Apani, Bluefire, Microsoft, and NCP.DE. Cisco supports the Microsoft client; the respective vendors support the other clients.

Bluefire offers a version of the Palm Treo that has an IPsec client that works with the Secure Firewall ASA.

Nokia provides support for Symbian on the Nokia 92xx Communicator series, Nokia 6600 and Nokia E61.
