Cisco VPN

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
     • See here: Install Cisco VPN on Linux
   • 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
