The Cisco AnyConnect VPN client for Linux works fine in NoTouch and some OS images have it included.

In this guide we assume you have a NoTouch machine with a configured connection, be it Citrix, VMware Horizon View, whatever, and you want to add Cisco VPN support in a way that your users can click on an icon to start the VPN connection when they need it.

  1. Open a terminal window (Configuration -> Console)
  2. Configure the Cisco VPN service
    • Create the folder where the file will reside:
      • mkdir /config/ciscovpn
    • Create/edit your ProfileName.pcf connection file
    • Save the file to /config/ciscovpn
  3. Back in the configuration, Create a connection named "Start VPN" and with connection mode "Custom command".
    • Set the parameter "Command to be executed" to:
      • vpnclient connect ProfileName
  4. Enable Cisco VPN service (under Services)
  5. Reboot the machine and check the workflow
