This document describes a troubleshooting scenario which applies to applications that do not work through the Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client.
There are no specific requirements for this document.
The information in this document is based on a Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) that runs Version 8.x.
The information in this document was created from the devices in a specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If your network is live, make sure that you understand the potential impact of any command.
This typical troubleshooting scenario applies to applications that do not work through the Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client for end-users with Microsoft Windows-based computers. These sections address and provide solutions to the problems:

Refer to AnyConnect: Corrupt Driver Database Issue in order to debug the driver issue.
If you experience connection problems with the AnyConnect client, such as disconnections or the inability to establish an initial connection, obtain these files:
write net x.x.x.x:ASA-Config.txt
where x.x.x.x
is the IP address of a TFTP server on the network.show running-config

Note: Always save it as the .evt file format.
If the user cannot connect with the AnyConnect VPN Client, the issue might be related to an established Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) session or Fast User Switching enabled on the client PC. The user can see the AnyConnect profile settings mandate a single local user, but multiple local users are currently logged into your computer. A VPN connection will not be established error message
error on the client PC. In order to resolve this issue, disconnect any established RDP sessions and disable Fast User Switching. This behavior is controlled by the Windows Logon Enforcement attribute in the client profile, however currently there is no setting that actually allows a user to establish a VPN connection while multiple users are logged on simultaneously on the same machine. Enhancement request CSCsx15061 was filed to address this feature.
Note: Make sure that port 443 is not blocked so the AnyConnect client can connect to the ASA.
When a user cannot connect the AnyConnect VPN Client to the ASA, the issue might be caused by an incompatibility between the AnyConnect client version and the ASA software image version. In this case, the user receives this error message: The installer was not able to start the Cisco VPN client, clientless access is not available
.
In order to resolve this issue, upgrade the AnyConnect client version to be compatible with the ASA software image.
When you log in the first time to the AnyConnect, the login script does not run. If you disconnect and log in again, then the login script runs fine. This is the expected behavior.
When you connect the AnyConnect VPN Client to the ASA, you might receive this error: User not authorized for AnyConnect Client access, contact your administrator
.
This error is seen when the AnyConnect image is missing from the ASA. Once the image is loaded to the ASA, AnyConnect can connect without any issues to the ASA.
This error can be resolved by disabling Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS). Go to Configuration > Remote Access VPN > Network (Client) Access > AnyConnect Connection Profiles and uncheck the Enable DTLS check box. This disables DTLS.
The dartbundle files show this error message when the user gets disconnected: TUNNELPROTOCOLDPDMGR_ERROR_NO_DPD_RESPONSE:The secure gateway failed to respond to Dead Peer Detection packets
. This error means that the DTLS channel was torn due to Dead Peer Detection (DPD) failure. This error is resolved if you tweak the DPD keepalives and issue these commands:
webvpn
svc keepalive 30
svc dpd-interval client 80
svc dpd-interval gateway 80
The svc keepalive and svc dpd-interval commands are replaced by the anyconnect keepalive and anyconnect dpd-interval commands respectively in ASA Version 8.4(1) and later as shown here:
webvpn
anyconnect ssl keepalive 15
anyconnect dpd-interval client 5
anyconnect dpd-interval gateway 5
When problems are detected with passing traffic to the private network with an AnyConnect session through the ASA, complete these data-gathering steps:
Filter Name: XXXXX
, then gather the output for show access-list XXXXX. Verify that the access-list XXXXX does not block the intended traffic flow.access-list in_nat0_out extended permit ip any 10.136.246.0 255.255.255.0

Some applications, such as Microsoft Outlook, do not work. However, the tunnel is able to pass other traffic such as small pings.
This can provide clues as to a fragmentation issue in the network. Consumer routers are particularly poor at packet fragmentation and reassembly.
Try a scaling set of pings in order to determine if it fails at a certain size. For example, ping -l 500, ping -l 1000, ping -l 1500, ping -l 2000.
It is recommended that you configure a special group for users that experience fragmentation, and set the SVC Maximum Transition Unit (MTU) for this group to 1200. This allows you to remediate users who experience this issue, but not impact the broader user base.
Problem
TCP connections hang once connected with AnyConnect.
Solution
In order to verify if your user has a fragmentation issue, adjust the MTU for AnyConnect clients on the ASA.
ASA(config)#group-policy <name> attributes
webvpn
svc mtu 1200
Problem
The AnyConnect VPN Client uninstalls itself once the connection terminates. The client logs show that keep installed is set to disabled.
Solution
AnyConnect uninstalls itself despite that the keep installed option is selected on the Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM). In order to resolve this issue, configure the svc keep-installer installed command under group-policy.
Problem: AnyConnect client is pre-populated with the hostname instead of the cluster Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN).
When you have a load-balancing cluster set up for SSL VPN and the client attempts to connect to the cluster, the request is redirected to the node ASA and the client logs in successfully. After some time, when the client tries to connect to the cluster again, the cluster FQDN is not seen in the Connect to entries. Instead, the node ASA entry to which the client has been redirected is seen.
Solution
This occurs because the AnyConnect client retains the host name to which it last connected. This behavior is observed and a bug has been filed. For complete details about the bug, refer to Cisco bug ID CSCsz39019. The suggested workaround is to upgrade the Cisco AnyConnect to Version 2.5.
A backup server list is configured in case the main server selected by the user is not reachable. This is defined in the Backup Server pane in the AnyConnect profile. Complete these steps:
This entry in the SetupAPI.log file suggests that the catalog system is corrupt:
W239 driver signing class list "C:\WINDOWS\INF\certclas.inf" was missing or invalid. Error 0xfffffde5: Unknown Error.
, assuming all device classes are subject to driver signing policy.
You can also receive this error message: Error(3/17): Unable to start VA, setup shared queue, or VA gave up shared queue
.
You can receive this log on the client: "The VPN client driver has encountered an error"
.
This issue is due to Cisco bug ID CSCsm54689. In order to resolve this issue, make sure that Routing and Remote Access Service is disabled before you start AnyConnect. If this does not resolve the issue, complete these steps:
net stop CryptSvc
.esentutl /p%systemroot%\System32\catroot2\
{F750E6C3-38EE-11D1-85E5-00C04FC295EE}\catdb
If the repair fails, complete these steps:
net stop CryptSvc
.You can analyze the database at any time in order to determine if it is valid.
esentutl /g%systemroot%\System32\catroot2\
{F750E6C3-38EE-11D1-85E5-00C04FC295EE}\catdb
While the SSL VPN is connected through a web browser, the Unable to Update the Session Management Database.
error message appears, and the ASA logs show %ASA-3-211001: Memory allocation Error. The adaptive security appliance failed to allocate RAM system memory
.
This issue is due to Cisco bug ID CSCsm51093. In order to resolve this issue, reload the ASA or upgrade the ASA software to the interim release mentioned in the bug. Refer to Cisco bug ID CSCsm51093 for more information.
This issue can also be resolved if you disable threat-detection on ASA if threat-detection is used.
When you use the AnyConnect client on laptops or PCs, an error occurs during the install:
"Module C:\Program Files\Cisco\Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client\vpnapi.dll failed
to register..."
When this error is encountered, the installer cannot move forward and the client is removed.
These are the possible workarounds to resolve this error:
The log message related to this error on the AnyConnect client looks similar to this:
DEBUG: Error 2911: Could not remove the folderC:\Program Files\Cisco\Cisco AnyConnect
VPN Client\.
The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may
indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2911. The arguments are:
C:\Program Files\Cisco\Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client\, ,
DEBUG: Error 2911: Could not remove the folder C:\Program Files\Cisco\Cisco AnyConnect
VPN Client\.
The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may
indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2911. The arguments are:
C:\Program Files\Cisco\Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client\, ,
Info 1721. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for
this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package
vendor. Action: InstallHelper.exe, location: C:\Program Files\Cisco\Cisco AnyConnect VPN
Client\InstallHelper.exe, command: -acl "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application
Data\Cisco\Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client\\" -r
When clients try to connect to the VPN with the Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client, this error is received.
This message was received from the secure gateway:
"Illegal address class" or "Host or network is 0" or "Other error"
The issue occurs because of the ASA local IP pool depletion. As the VPN pool resource is exhausted, the IP pool range must be enlarged.
Cisco bug ID is CSCsl82188 is filed for this issue. This error usually occurs when the local pool for address assignment is exhausted, or if a 32-bit subnet mask is used for the address pool. The workaround is to expand the address pool and use a 24-bit subnet mask for the pool.
When you try to connect more than two clients with the AnyConnect VPN Client, you receive the Login Failed
error message on the Client and a warning message in the ASA logs that states Session could not be established. Session limit of 2 reached
. I have the AnyConnect essential license on the ASA, which runs Version 8.0.4.
This error occurs because the AnyConnect essential license is not supported by ASA version 8.0.4. You need to upgrade the ASA to version 8.2.2. This resolves the error.
Note: Regardless of the license used, if the session limit is reached, the user will receive the login failed
error message.
This error can also occur if the vpn-sessiondb max-anyconnect-premium-or-essentials-limit session-limit command is used to set the limit of VPN sessions permitted to be established. If the session-limit is set as two, then the user cannot establish more than two sessions even though the license installed supports more sessions. Set the session-limit to the number of VPN sessions required in order to avoid this error message.
You receive the Anyconnect not enabled on VPN server
error message when you try to connect AnyConnect to the ASA.
This error is resolved if you enable AnyConnect on the outside interface of the ASA with ASDM. For more information on how to enable AnyConnect on the outside interface, refer to Configure Clientless SSL VPN (WebVPN) on the ASA.
The %ASA-6-722036: Group < client-group > User < xxxx > IP < x.x.x.x> Transmitting large packet 1220 (threshold 1206)
error message appears in the logs of the ASA. What does this log mean and how is this resolved?
This log message states that a large packet was sent to the client. The source of the packet is not aware of the MTU of the client. This can also be due to compression of non-compressible data. The workaround is to turn off the SVC compression with the svc compression none command. This resolves the issue.
When you connect to the AnyConnect Client, this error is received: "The secure gateway has rejected the agent's vpn connect or reconnect request. A new connection requires re-authentication and must be started manually. Please contact your network administrator if this problem persists. The following message was received from the secure gateway: no assigned address"
.
This error is also received when you connect to the AnyConnect Client: "The secure gateway has rejected the connection attempt. A new connection attempt to the same or another secure gateway is needed, which requires re-authentication. The following message was received from the secure gateway:Host or network is 0"
.
This error is also received when you connect to the AnyConnect Client: "The secure gateway has rejected the agent's vpn connect or reconnect request. A new connection requires a re-authentication and must be started manually. Please contact the network administrator if the problem persists. The following message was received from the secure gateway: No License"
.
The router was missing pool configuration after reload. You need to add the concerned configuration back to the router.
Router#show run | in pool
ip local pool SSLPOOL 192.168.30.2 192.168.30.254
svc address-pool SSLPOO
The "The secure gateway has rejected the agent's vpn connect or reconnect request. A new connection requires a re-authentication and must be started manually. Please contact the network administrator if the problem persists. The following message was received from the secure gateway: No License"
error occurs when the AnyConnect mobility license is missing. Once the license is installed, the issue is resolved.
When you try to authenticate in WebPortal, this error message is received: "Unable to update the session management database"
.
This problem is related to memory allocation on the ASA. This issue is mostly encountered when the ASA Version is 8.2.1. Originally, this requires a 512MB RAM for its complete functionality.
As a permanent workaround, upgrade the memory to 512MB.
As a temporary workaround, try to free the memory with these steps:
This is an error message obtained on the client machine when you try to connect to AnyConnect.
In order to resolve this error, complete this procedure in order to manually set the AnyConnect VPN agent to Interactive:
Note: If this is to be used, then the preference would be to use the .MST transform in this instance. This is because if you set this manually with these methods, it requires that this be set after every install/upgrade process. This is why there is a need to identify the application that causes this problem.
The VPN client driver has encountered an error.
error message. In order to resolve this issue, make sure that Routing and RRAS is disabled before starting AnyConnect. Refer to Cisco bug ID CSCsm54689 for more information.AnyConnect clients fail to connect to a Cisco ASA. The error in the AnyConnect window is "Unable to process response from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"
.
In order to resolve this error, try these workarounds:
For more information on how to enable WebVPN and change the port for WebVPN, refer to this Solution.
AnyConnect clients fail to connect to a Cisco ASA. The error in the AnyConnect window is "Login Denied , unauthorized connection mechanism , contact your administrator"
.
This error message occurs mostly because of configuration issues that are improper or an incomplete configuration. Check the configuration and make sure it is as required to resolve the issue.

This error occurs when you try to launch the AnyConnect software from a Macintosh client in order to connect to an ASA.
In order to resolve this, complete these steps:
webvpn
svc image disk0:/anyconnect-macosx-i386-2.3.2016-k9.pkg 2
svc image disk0:/anyconnect-macosx-powerpc-2.3.2016-k9.pkg 3
hostname(config)#webvpn
hostname(config-webvpn)#anyconnect image disk0:/
anyconnect-win-3.0.0527-k9.pkg 1
hostname(config-webvpn)#anyconnect image disk0:/
anyconnect-macosx-i386-3.0.0414-k9.pkg 2
This error is caused on the user's Linux machine when it tries to connect to the ASA by launching AnyConnect. Here is the complete error:
"The AnyConnect package on the secure gateway could not be located. You may
be experiencing network connectivity issues. Please try connecting again."
In order to resolve this error message, verify whether the Operating System (OS) that is used on the client machine is supported by the AnyConnect client.
If the OS is supported, then verify if the AnyConnect package is specified in the WebVPN configuration or not. See the Anyconnect package unavailable or corrupted section of this document for more information.
Users are unable to perform a remote desktop access. The Secure VPN via remote desktop is not supported
error message appears.
This issue is due to these Cisco bug IDs: CSCsu22088 and CSCso42825. If you upgrade the AnyConnect VPN Client, it can resolve the issue. Refer to these bugs for more information.
When you attempt to VPN to the ASA 5505, the The server certificate received or its chain does not comply with FIPS. A VPN connection will not be established
error message appears.
In order to resolve this error, you must disable the Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) in the AnyConnect Local Policy file. This file can usually be found at C:\ProgramData\Cisco\Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client\AnyConnectLocalPolicy.xml
. If this file is not found in this path, then locate the file at a different directory with a path such as C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Cisco AnyConnectVPNClient\AnyConnectLocalPolicy.xml
. Once you locate the xml file, make changes to this file as shown here:
Change the phrase:
<FipsMode>true</FipsMode>
To:
<FipsMode>false</FipsMode>
Then, restart the computer. Users must have administrative permissions in order to modify this file.
Users are unable to launch AnyConnect and receive the Certificate Validation Failure
error.
Certificate authentication works differently with AnyConnect compared to the IPSec client. In order for certificate authentication to work, you must import the client certificate to your browser and change the connection profile in order to use certificate authentication. You also need to enable this command on your ASA in order to allow SSL client-certificates to be used on the outside interface:
ssl certificate-authentication interface outside port 443
When AnyConnect Version 2.4.0202 is installed on a Windows XP PC, it stops at updating localization files and an error message shows that the vpnagent.exe fails.
This behavior is logged in Cisco bug ID CSCsq49102. The suggested workaround is to disable the Citrix client.
When AnyConnect is downloaded, this error message is received:
"Contact your system administrator. The installer failed with the following error: This installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package."
Complete these steps in order to fix this issue:
This error message is recieved during the auto-download of AnyConnect from the ASA:
"Contact your system administrator. The installer failed with the following error:
Error applying transforms. Verify that the specified transform paths are valid."
This is the error message received when connecting with AnyConnect for MacOS:
"The AnyConnect package on the secure gateway could not be located. You may be
experiencing network connectivity issues. Please try connecting again."
Complete one of these workarounds in order to resolve this issue:
If neither of these workarounds resolve the issue, contact Cisco Technical Support.
This error is received:
The VPN client driver has encountered an error when connecting through Cisco
AnyConnect Client.
This issue can be resolved when you uninstall the AnyConnect Client, and then remove the anti-virus software. After this, reinstall the AnyConnect Client. If this resolution does not work, then reformat the PC in order to fix this issue.
This error is received when you try to launch AnyConnect:
"A VPN reconnect resulted in different configuration setting. The VPN network
setting is being re-initialized. Applications utilizing the private network may
need to be restarted."
In order to resolve this error, use this:
group-policy <Name> attributes
webvpn
svc mtu 1200
The svc mtu command is replaced by the anyconnect mtu command in ASA Version 8.4(1) and later as shown here:
hostname(config)#group-policy <Name> attributes
hostname(config-group-policy)#webvpn
hostname(config-group-webvpn)#anyconnect mtu 500
Problem
The AnyConnect receives this error when it connects to the Client:
The VPN connection is not allowed via a local proxy. This can be changed
through AnyConnect profile settings.
The issue can be resolved if you make these changes to the AnyConnect profile:
Add this line to the AnyConnect profile:
<ProxySettings>IgnoreProxy</ProxySettings><
AllowLocalProxyConnections>
false</AllowLocalProxyConnections>
Problem
In Windows 7, if the IE proxy setting is configured for Automatically detect settings and AnyConnect pushes down a new proxy setting, the IE proxy setting is not restored back to Automatically detect settings after the user ends the AnyConnect session. This causes LAN issues for users who need their proxy setting configured for Automatically detect settings.
This behavior is logged in Cisco bug ID CSCtj51376. The suggested workaround is to upgrade to AnyConnect 3.0.
This error message is received on Cisco ASDM when you attempt to enable the AnyConnect Essentials license:
There are currently 2 clientless SSL VPN sessions in progress. AnyConnect
Essentials can not be enabled until all these sessions are closed.
This is the normal behavior of the ASA. AnyConnect Essentials is a separately licensed SSL VPN client. It is entirely configured on the ASA and provides the full AnyConnect capability, with these exceptions:
This license cannot be used at the same time as the shared SSL VPN premium license. When you need to use one license, you need to disable the other.
The connection tab on the Internet option of Internet Explorer hides after you are connected to the AnyConnect client.
This is due to the msie-proxy lockdown feature. If you enable this feature, it hides the Connections tab in Microsoft Internet Explorer for the duration of an AnyConnect VPN session. If you disable the feature, it leaves the display of the Connections tab unchanged.
A few users receive the Login Failed Error message when others can connect successfully through the AnyConnect VPN.
This issue can be resolved if you make sure the do not require pre-authentication checkbox is checked for the users.
During the AnyConnect profile update, an error is shown that says the certificate is invalid. This occurs with Windows only and at the profile update phase. The error message is shown here:
The certificate you are viewing does not match with the name of the site
you are trying to view.
This can be resolved if you modify the server list of the AnyConnect profile in order to use the FQDN of the certificate.
This is a sample of the XML profile:
<ServerList>
<HostEntry>
<HostName>vpn1.ccsd.net</HostName>
</HostEntry>
</ServerList>
Note: If there is an existing entry for the Public IP address of the server such as <HostAddress>
, then remove it and retain only the FQDN of the server (for example, <HostName>
but not <Host Address>
).
When the AnyConnect is launched from the CSD vault, it does not work. This is attempted on Windows 7 machines.
Currently, this is not possible because it is not supported.
The AnyConnect 3.0 VPN client with ASA Version 8.4.1 software works fine. However, after failover, there is no replication for the AnyConnect profile related configuration.
This problem has been observed and logged under Cisco bug ID CSCtn71662. The temporary workaround is to manually copy the files to the standby unit.
When this occurs, the AnyConnect event log contains entries similar to these:
Description : Function:
CAdapterNetworkStateIfc::SetConnectedStateToConnected

This behavior is observed and logged under Cisco bug ID CSCtx28970. In order to resolve this, quit the AnyConnect application and relaunch. The connection entries reappear after relaunch.
The AnyConnect client fails to connect and the Unable to establish a connection
error message is received. In the AnyConnect event log, the TLSPROTOCOL_ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER
error is found.
This occurs when the headend is configured for split-tunneling with a very large split-tunnel list (approximately 180-200 entries) and one or more other client attributes are configured in the group-policy, such as dns-server.
In order to resolve this issue, complete these steps:
group-policy groupName attributes
webvpn
svc dtls none
For more information, refer to Cisco bug ID CSCtc41770.
The Connection attempt has failed due to invalid host entry
error message is received while AnyConnect is authenticated with the use of a certificate.
In order to resolve this issue, try either of these possible solutions:
For more information, refer to Cisco bug ID CSCti73316.
When you enable the Always-On feature on AnyConnect, the Ensure your server certificates can pass strict mode if you configure always-on VPN
error message is received.
This error message implies that if you want to use the Always-On feature, you need a valid sever certificate configured on the headend. Without a valid server certificate, this feature does not work. Strict Cert Mode is an option that you set in the AnyConnect local policy file in order to ensure the connections use a valid certificate. If you enable this option in the policy file and connect with a bogus certificate, the connection fails.
