A tip from Chris Walter: Here is a tidbit if (like me) you need to use anyconnect to NCSA but also need to use if for somewhere else (Duke in my case).
You can type vpn.ncsa.illinois.edu in the drop down window and it works. But if you quit the program it won’t be persistent. A did a bit of googling. There is no way to do fix this in the UI but if you go to: (edited)
/opt/cisco/anyconnect/profile
you can put in an xml file for each connection you want.
I already had one for Duke in there. If you add NCSA.xml
```<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<AnyConnectProfile xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/encoding/">
<ServerList>
<HostEntry>
<HostName>NCSA</HostName>
<HostAddress>vpn.ncsa.illinois.edu</HostAddress>
</HostEntry>
</ServerList>
</AnyConnectProfile>```
in the directory then when you start up the program next time you will see both entries in the drop down list.
Notes:
- It uses the last user name used for the user. There used to be <user> tag but it doesn’t work anymore. That info is stored in ~/.anyconnect
- Don’t get fooled by the presence of ncsa_anyconnect_profile.xml that you might already see in the directory. That gets downloaded after you connect and has more connection info in it but not the host info etc. You need the new file. |
