[cisco-voip] which soft client to use for smart phones?

Sounds like the better solution is the Application use SSL and not rely on AnyConnect; if AnyConnect is going to require root. Else we could be in for a long stalemate if this is the case. DRM providers don't seem to like root.

Eg Skype for Android

>From what I understand there are some underlying libraries that AnyConnect requires that can only be provided by the device manufacturer.  This means outside of Google forcing inclusion via an OS release or the user rooting the device AnyConnect will be supported on more platforms when the manufacturers want it to be.   I'd assume the AnyConnect team is trying to get it supported on as many devices as possible but I'm not involved in that project at all so your guess is as good as mine for when support may or may not be expanded.

The old Mobility client was the one that worked with CUMA.  You should be using Jabber.

Thanks Scott. A few questions:

Is Cisco Mobility 8.1 a.k.a. Cisco Jabber? I can't find Mobility 8.1 on the app store, only Jabber.

Do you have it working so the user doesn't have to "think" about VPN, it just works? I don't want users to have to remember to click anyconnect first, then Jabber.

I believe we have mobile license on our ASA, here's a show version output, do you think we're set?

Anyconnect with cisco mobility 8.1 on the iphone.  only played with it a little.  using SNR more.  I'm pretty sure I could support SNR in Production.  Works well.

Cavaets:  anyconnect on mobile devices requires the mobile license on your ASA.
  #2 Anyconnect not supported on majority of droid phones.

i need to start testing some soft clients for smart phones, but i really haven't kept up to speed with the different clients and requirements. what we're looking for is the following:

 *   phone to register over campus wifi
 *   phone to register over third party wifi (using VPN)
 *   phone to move from wifi to 3G and back
 *   to work together with SNR (when wifi and/or 3G data is not available)

i quickly tried the jabber client for iPhone and wasn't too impressed. :( granted, i didn't install any device pack or COP file as instructed, but got it registering with 7.1(5b)SU3. i mean, the client didn't even come to the foreground when i called the extension!

i'm going to do some reading, but was hoping to get a thread going with people's thoughts about the different clients for phones? what are you using? what additional software (e.g. AnyConnect) to get things working?
