Yeah, I was wondering about that. So the support issue has to do with voice quality then. I can't imagine AnyConnect itself not being supported over 3G.

One thing about the wifi support requirement. That doesn't mean you won't get registered over 3G with vpn. It means don't come calling to TAC if your voice quality sucks on 3G with vpn.

Requirements for VPN On Demand 




In order for Cisco Jabber to launch VPN automatically when needed, the iPhone must be set up for certificate-based IPsec authentication for VPN on-demand access. The iPhone must be able to access the corporate network, servers, and telephony endpoints using VPN. 
Requirements for Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client 




For the Cisco AnyConnect VPN solution, the following are required: 

    • Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance minimum Release 8.03 
    • Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client, available from the App Store 

Note 	


Cisco AnyConnect is supported over WiFi only. 

For additional information about Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client, see the Administration Guide for Cisco Jabber at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps11596/prod_installation_guides_list.html .

I'm not sure if AnyConnect has a way to detect when a connection is being attempted to an internal network and launch itself. I'd bet you have to launch them separately.

Ryan, can you comment on what the scenario would be if I use Jabber w/ AnyConnect ? 

Is it such that I have to launch them separately or would Jabber launch and/or initiate the VPN session automatically? 

I'm guessing this is more of a AnyConnect configuration issue, which is fine, I can read the notes for that too.

You can go look at the release notes and data sheet for the iPhone Jabber client to see what features are out right now. I can say for sure the feature is coming but cannot commit to when it will be out. If AnyConnect on the iPhone won't fly for you and you need secure connect then you need to let the PM team for the iPhone mobility clients know (either directly or via your account team). They may be able to give you an ETA as well.

will be? you mean it's not there yet? i'm not asking out of malcontent, just so i know what i should be concentrating on with the current client and when we might expect this feature if not there already.

The iPhone client will be getting the same secure connect feature that Android has so if you are serious about smartphones and voip clients then you may want to look at those ASA mobile licenses.

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?
