Svc message 16 error profile settings do not allow vpn establishment by a remote user

AnyConnect – ‘VPN establishment capability for a remote user..

KB ID 0000546В

Problem

If you connect to to a client via RDP then try and run the AnyConnect client, you will see one of these errors;

VPN establishment capability for a remote user is disabled. A VPN connection will not be established

VPN establishment capability from a Remote Desktop is disabled. A VPN connection will not be established

This, behaviour is default, and despite me trawling the internet to find a solution (most posts quote changing the local AnyConnectProfile.tmplВ file, this file does not exist using Version 3 (I was using v 3.0.4235).

Update: With Early versions of AnyConnect version 4 it does not tell you what’s wrong, the VPN appears to connect and then disconnect quickly. If you have debugging on the firewall you will see the following;

Profile settings do not allow VPN initiation from a remote desktop.

Note: This is fixed in version 4.8 and you will se the error at the top of the page.

Solution

To solve this problem we need to create an AnyConnect profile, load the profile into the firewall, then associate that profile with your AnyConnect group policy. With modern versions of AnyConnect you can do that in the ASDM. With older versions you need to use the stand alone profile editor (see below)

Edit AnyConnect Profile With ASDM

Connect to the ADSM > Configuration > Remote Access VPN > Network Client remote Access > AnyConnect Client Profile.

Give the profile a name В > SelectВ a group policy to apply it to > OK.

AllowRemoteUsers: Lets remote users bring up the VPN, if this forces routing to disconnect you, it will auto terminate the VPN.

SingleLocalLogon: Allows multiple remote logons but only one local logon.

OR (older versions)

Apply the changes, and then save to the runningВ configuration.

Edit AnyConnect Profile With Stand-Alone Profile Editor

1. First download the AnyConnect Profile Editor from Cisco. (Note: You will need a valid CCO account and a registered support agreement/SmartNet).

Update: The AnyConnect Profile Editor is now built into the ADSM, it becomes available onceВ you have enabled any AnyConnect image. Once you have a profile created you can skip straight to В step 3,В and skip all the otherВ steps.

If you cannot download the software here’s a profile (I’ve already created) you can use. If you are going to use this, jump to step 5.

2. Once you have installed the profile editor, launch the “VPN Profile Editor”.

3. The setting we want is listed under Windows VPN Establishment, and needs setting to “AllowRemoteUsers”, In addition I’m going to set Windows Logon Enforcement to “SingleLocalLogon”.

AllowRemoteUsers: Lets remote users bring up the VPN, if this forces routing to disconnect you, it will auto terminate the VPN.

SingleLocalLogon: Allows multiple remote logons but only one local logon.

4. Save the profile somewhere you can locate it quickly.

5. Connect to the firewalls ASDM > Tools > File Management > File Transfer > Between Local PC and Flash.

6. Browse your local PC for the profile you created earlier > Hit the “Right Arrow” to upload it > This can take a few minutes, depending on your proximity to the firewall.

7. Make sure the file uploads correctly > Close.

8. To associate this profile with your AnyConnect//SSL Group Policy, click Configuration > Remote Access VPN > Network (Client) Access > Group Policies > Locate the policy in use for your AnyConnect clients > Edit > Advanced > SSL VPN Client > Locate the “Client Profile to Download” section and uncheck the inherit button.

9. Click New > Browse Flash > Locate the profile you uploaded earlier.

10. OK > OK > Apply > Save the changes by clicking File > Save running configuration to flash.

11. Then reconnect with your AnyConnect Mobility Client software.

Cisco Mobility Anyconnect клиент не хочет подключаться из RDP

Если у вас при попытке подключения к VPN с помощью Cisco Mobility Anyconnect клиента в RDP-сессии выскакивает ошибка:
AnyConnect was not able to establish a connection to the specified secure gateway. Please try connect again and and VPN Establishement Capability from a Remote Desktop is disabled
то вам сюда 🙂
Чтобы получить возможность подключаться к VPN из RDP-сессии, нужно отредактировать конфигурационный файл, т. к. этой опции нет в GUI настройках. Находится файл в папке C:ProgramDataCiscoCisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility ClientProfile, а вот называться он может по-разному, в зависимости от конкретного VPN, к которому подключаетесь. В любом случае, лежит он там и имеет расширение .xml. Или их несколько – если у вас несколько VPN. Например, Contractor.xml. Находим там строчку:
LocalUsersOnly
и меняем её на:
AllowRemoteUsers
Всё, теперь клиент должен подключаться, если вы зашли по RDP.

Клиент Cisco перезаписывает снова эту настройку на старое значение при попытке подключения

К сожалению да, с какой-то обновой он стал просто перезаписывать или не запускаться, если запретить модификацию файла. Решение – сделать всё в 2 шага. Установить сервер VNC (Tight VNC например) и 1) подключать VPN заходя по VNC, 2) а потом уже зайти по RPD и работать.

How to enable (and hack) Cisco AnyConnect VPN through Remote Desktop

If you get the following error when connecting to a Cisco AnyConnect VPN from Windows, it’s because the VPN establishment capability in the client profile doesn’t allow connections from a remote desktop session.

VPN establishment capability for a remote user is disabled. A VPN connection will not be established.

The client profile is an XML file that gets pushed out to the AnyConnect client every time the VPN is established. The correct way to fix this is by configuring the Citrix VPN profile on the ASA. Usually this is done by the ASA administrator using the Cisco Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM). If you’re the ASA administrator read this article for instructions how to configure this.

But what if you’re not the ASA administrator or the admin can’t/won’t to make this change for some reason? We can hack it! I don’t normally write blog posts like this, but I honestly can’t think of a single good reason to block VPN access from a remote desktop, so I don’t consider this bypassing a security setting. Here’s how to get around it.

First, open the client profile XML file in Notepad. It’s located in the C:ProgramDataCiscoCisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility ClientProfile folder.

For example, change:

Now open Event Viewer and navigate to Applications and Services Logs > Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client. Search for Event ID 3021 from source acvpnui. It should be near the top of the Cisco logs if you just tried to connect to the AnyConnect VPN.

Right-click that event and select Attach Task To This Event. The Create Basic Task Wizard will open.

Click Next.

Click Next again.

Click Next again.

/c cd «C:ProgramDataCiscoCisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility ClientProfile» && copy *.bak *.xml /y

The task properties will open in a new window.

Now test it out. You should be able to connect to the AnyConnect VPN using a remote desktop (RDP).

Be aware that if things change (ports, IPs, etc.) they will be lost/overwritten by the static BAK file. If that happens you can simply delete the BAK file, attempt a connection, and edit the new XML file with the new settings again.

I have AnyConnect (ver 3.1.01065) configured on Cisco router 891. VPN is working fine from the desktop, but I also need the ability to establish a VPN connection through a RDP connection (i.e. I’m using RDP to connect to a PC which has AnyConnect installed on, then trying to establish a VPN connection). OS Windows 7 SP1 x86.

I’ve read about changing some settings in profile file (changed the option to «AllowRemoteUsers». Then applied the profile to the relevant Group Policy. Connected VPN from the PC (not through RDP), so that it downloads the new profile, and then disconnected again.):

But this make sense to the cisco asa. I have a cisco router on the ios 15.1. I’ve checked the XML file on the local PC to confirm the profile has been downloaded and is has, and I can’t see the AllowRemoteUsers option.

So I still can’t start VPN through an RDP connection. (Error is «VPN establishment capability from a remote desktop is disabled. A VPN connection will not be established».)

This also happened with the previous version of AnyConnect (2.5.xxxx).

The PC’s local routing tables look fine, and I can’t see any conflicts that would cause the RDP session to drop.

In the main window of Cisco anyconnect secure mobility client Ive noticed label: Web Authentication required. Does configuration webvpn of the cisco IOS is need somthing changins maybe? But I dont know what.

Vpn establishment capability from a remote desktop is disabled что делать

Вопрос

I’ve installed XP under my users Windows 7 64 bit Enterprise. Unfortunately I set up networking for DHCP so that the host and guest (too much vmware 🙂 ) get two different IP’s.

So with Cisco anyconnect, I can’t get the guest (i.e. the Win xp vm) to connect correctly. I want to change networking back to bridged and try that, but for the life of me I can’t find where the settings are. I’m thinking that bridged (where I don’t have to try the Cisco client in the vm might work better)

My users in Australia

and right now I can’t get remote tools to work on the host and talking this guy through it on the phone is not pleasant.

Are there instructions somewhere, and where is the full downloadable documentation for this product. I can find online, can’t find a full downloadable copy

Bridged networking is what VMWare calls it and it works basically the
same as the way you don’t like here. The guest will interact with the
NIC on the host and from the outsie it will present a second channel
with a different MAC address. This channel will acquire an IP address
of its own from the DHCP server.
But no matter what you do, the host and guest will NEVER EVER get the
same IP address!

Additionally, Cisco VPN by design will shut down ALL other network
interfaces when it connects the tunnel so the computer running Cisco
VPN will be effectively disconnected from the local network and
INSTEAD connected to the remote network. You cannot share this VPN
tunnel to another local computer and this includes the host.
