Linux AnyConnect client ID to ASA server as win client?

Question

Shot in the dark...I'm trying to migrate my work system a linux box. I'm 99.9% ready fora total migration, but the *one* thing blocking me is that my companyhasn't enabled the linux client on the ASA host. (It's not for anyparticular security reason, I already talked with IT and theycommented that the reason is that they don't want to be on the hook tosupport Linux).I installed the v2.2 of the AnyConnect webvpn software on my linuxbox, and I was able to install the client and go all the way throughthe client authentication process, but when I get to the stepreporting that client is "confirming the client version", I finallyget a message that the peer doesn't have the module enabled.So.... I'm desperately trying to avoid building a VMWare image with anXP image just to get VPN connectivity.Any ideas?

If they have IPsec enabled you could try the open source client, vpnc.

Packages are probably available from your distro maintainer and there are several GUI options available but the CLI verison with just fine as well.

This is just a wild guess but perhaps there's an option in the source where it responds with a client name and version number. But I know nothing about the module you're referring to so it may not be possible. Your best bet is to try it first and then work with your IT staff if it still doesn't work.
