Hey all,
A question for all you lucky buggers who have one already, but does the SGS2 have the cisco anyconnect on board already?
This is probably the phone I'll be getting - its just sounds amazing, but the cisco thing would be icing on the cake.
Also if its already there - how is it working?
thanks
bump.....
surely someone has tried it?
Apologies if this is a double post - but I recieved my galaxy s2 from expansys yesterday (so UK spec unlocked) and it had no cisco clients installed
So it looks like they may well be released later
I wondering the same, where is it? Also looked everywhere on the internet. If it´s going to be released later, shouldn´t samsung say something?
Hoping to make Android more attractive to security-minded CIOs, Samsung has added encryption and integrated Cisco's AnyConnect VPN client on its latest smartphone, the Galaxy S II, it said at the Mobile World Congress.

Other than S2, Tab 10.1 also....

However it should be SSL VPN client instead of a IPSec VPN client.
Has anyone tried configuring this or does this feature even exist yet? It would be nice to import a .pcf file.
My collegue currently have an Galaxy S II.
The Cisco Anyconnect client (SSL VPN based client) seems not to be in the phone.
This even if Samsung is saying that on various advertisements.
We have looked everywhere and can't find it.
And Samsung support have no good answer either yet.
So far anyconnect client is not found in the Samsung Galaxy S II.
Anyone with any other information ?
Version
Android 2.3.3 (Samsung release I9100XXKDJ)
cisco anyconnect client on the galaxy s2
I too have tried to get the built in (supposedly cisco anyconnect) client to work.
To be the ssl client that is used by the iphone and ipad then it needs
to be the cisco anyconnect secure mobility client, which I am pretty certain
it is not.
None of the four types of vpn connections that you can configure are correct.
They all seem to be using ipsec.
I have asked Samsung to clarify this and have not had a response.
Once the case...
I've logged a call with Samsung UK and asked them where the famous Cisco AnyConnect VPN client is, and also requested more details of the on device Engryption.
They don't seem to know either but they are going to look into it and (hopefully) get back to me. Will report back.

I am looking forward to that answer. BTW I am fine with the built in client if it works with my university VPN...
The question is, is it possible to make sure, that ALL TRAFFIC goes through the VPN tunnel?

Do any of the IPSEC connections include the ability for group authentication?

Fifth attempt to get Samsung to answer
So far Samsung have answered my first four attempts to find out about
the Cisco anyconnect client in the SGs2 I9100 wrongly.
They are just pointing me at the standard ipsec clients in settings/wireless and network/Vpn settings.
Below is my latest attempt to get them to understand the question ...
Dear sirs.
After numerous attempts from me to get you to anwer the question you are
still
misunderstanding what I am saying.
I would like to know where the cisco anyconnect vpn client is on the
Galaxy S2 (GT-I9100)
See your Web page ...
(I am unable to paste the external link here due to not enough postings yet)
The third paragraph from the end states the following ...
VPN (Virtual Private Network)
The Samsung GALAXY S II has adopted Cisco’s AnyConnect to provide
reliable and easy-to-deploy encrypted network connectivity by delivering
persistent corporate access for users on the go. Whether providing
access to business email, a virtual desktop session, or other Android
applications, it enables business-critical application connectivity.
The Cisco anyconnect client is not on the phone !!!
Please let me know where to get it from !
Regards.
I will post their response when I have it, although I don't expect it
to answer the question since their first four attempts didn't.
We will see ...
Samsungs response
Thank you for contacting Samsung and I have pleasure in providing the
following assistance.
Regarding your case, kindly note we sincerely apologize for any
inconvenience, caused by the replies in the previous correspondences.
Please inform him that the Cisco VPN Client is not a built in feature on
the phone.
Although the phone supports Cisco but you will not find it built into
the phone. In this case, you will need to contact the server that you’re
trying to connect to, for the VPN settings as we don’t have them.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience.
If you require any further assistance, please contact Samsung again and
we will be more than happy to help.
Kind regards,
----------------------------------
As I was expecting.
Totally useless ...............
Don't worry, it's (apparently) coming
OK, so after two weeks of pain repeatedly calling Samsung tech support I was finally given the secret number for their UK head office, just to get me off their backs! HA!
I was told that these missing features are indeed scheduled for a future firmware release. They are going to try and find someone for me to talk to (apparently in Sales) who knows when these are scheduled to land.
Looks like being a persistent pain in the @$$ has started to pay off.
Will let you know more if I hear back from them.
Hope they will respond soon, need this VPN for work.....
It's available !
I have just discovered that it is now available from Android Market.
Just go to Android market and search for anyconnect and download.
I have tested it and it works fine.
I now have an anyconnect connection into work.
Yes.... seems like it's released
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/sec...onnect24/android-user/guide/android-acug.html
Works nicely also on a rooted HTC DesireZ running an older Virtuous 0.9.0 release.

Hey there XDA.
i'm in the IT department for a big-time company, and we (obviously) have specific security parameters on our network.
Recently, with all of the talk about android tablets because of CES and other factors (i personally own a Viewsonic G-Tablet running VEGAn 5.1b) the team and i have come to wonder if we would be able to put an android tablet onto the domain the same way we would a regular old Windows PC/Laptop or a Blackberry phone onto the exchange server.
We use Citrix clients/servers as well as pc/laptops, and so far, as i've been scouring the market, i've been able to find a Citrix app, and a Wyse terminal app, which could be used to open VPN sessions on the server, as well as another app which allows an android device to be connected completely with Microsoft Exchange Server. ( touchdown http://www.nitrodesk.com/TouchDown.aspx )
So, i figured, where else would i go but here, to the most well versed android development website on the interwebs, to ask if you guys might know of anything at all, or if something could be done.
Any ideas?

Hi,
I'm kind of unclear about what you're looking for, from your post, I guess because there could be any number of interpretations, e.g.:
- Are you asking if an Android device could be joined to your Windows domain?
- Are you asking if you can "see" shares on your Windows machines from Android?
- Are you asking if you can RDP to a Windows machine from Android?
- Etc.?
Probably (I think) #1 above is "no", at least as far as I can see now (plus I don't know if it'd make sense).
The answer to the 2nd and 3rd are "yes".
For #2, either you can use something like ES File Explorer, or you can use CIFS Manager on an Android machine that has CIFS support.
For #3, Pocketcloud can do that (the one from Wyse), and there are a few more.

Thanks for the reply, and yes i was looking to concentrate more around number 1. If number 1 were to be solved, number 2 would end up working out perfectly, with no security risks (becuase the shared files are only available to domain devices or thin clients using the VPN/RDP services we have setup). I guess looking at it from another angle, we would probably be able to (theoretically) limit a user's access capabilities on the tablet so that a general user could still be able to access the file shares using VPN without creating a security risk...
as you can see i currently have a whole lot running around in my head, and i'm not even sure if i'm mkaing it sound like english... T_T
I use my Zpad for work, the business apps I use:
Touchdown (for exchange, would like spell checker though)
File Expert (access shares)
Xtralogic Remote Desktop (works VERY well, better than PocketCloud and worth the $25)

It sounds like you're looking for something like PAM authentication capability from the Gtab. I know that there are products that do that for *nix, but I'm not aware of anything specifically for Android. Then again I think that there are public domain implementations, so it might be possible. Sorry that I can't be more help ...

Did you ever figure out anything more on this? We are looking at the same thing right now, and it'd be great if you found any more info out
New to XDA,...first post and all that jazz. On to the question...
I've rooted my Prime this morning...that all works fine and dandy; big props to all the folks involved in that!
One of the reasons was that I need AnyConnect to connect to my work VPN. I've installed the latest version from the market, installed the latest tun.ko using the tun.ko installer from the market. I've got the latest iptables. Also, my Prime is all on the latest firmware across the board.
AnyConnect starts just fine, grabs the list of groups. I am able to give it a username/password, but once I attempt to authenticate, the Prime freezes for a moment, then reboots.
I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling each component in this with no luck. I'm reaching out to the community on this. It would be fantastic to have this since it's the last thing keeping me from selling my 1215n, (...that 1215n is awesome, but bulky compared to the Prime, though I did upgrade it to 8GB ram and a 128GB SSD).
Thanks in advance; everyone here is awesome, give yourselves cookies and beers.
I'll be trying this as soon as I have time to root/play; I'll let you know what I find out.
But one thing to keep in mind is that ICS will bring a native VPN API system, and there should be a true Cisco AnyConnect method that works without rooting very soon.

I did read that ICS would supposedly have native support for AnyConnect. I'm just hoping that this works so I can list that netbook sooner rather than later. I'm sure I'm not the only person that wants to connect their Prime to their AnyConnect VPN now though.
[bump]
Hoping a few others get a chance to see this and try it.

Perhaps a stupid question, but does this mean F5 Firepass SSL will work natively in ICS?
AnyConnect originally didn't support rooted devices. Cisco came up with a version that did. You might want to do some research. It might just be that it's incompatible with the Prime. There are G-Tab users that have it working with root so the rooted version works with HC.
anyone else notice that the VPN service from the network settings causes a reset?
AnyConnect available on market (2.4) does not support TF201, AnyConnect 2.5 in beta has ICS support, currently does not have TF201 specific support though. Hopefully we will have full ICS support upon official release on market.
I was getting similar issues prior to ICS upgrade, now, different set of issues on the AnyConnect 2.5 loading properly.
TF201 ICS
I've used Rooted AnyConnect 2.4.7073 with sklid's tun.ko, and didn't have any issues. I only used it for a few minutes, though.

Hey, I tried a few things to get up and running and had a lot of problems. I then ended up needing to reinstall the latest firmware/distro (don't ask).
I installed ICS, then it installed cisco anyconnect (latest from market), I then rooted my transformer prime tf201. At this point when I opened cisco anyconnect it loaded fine but showed me tun.ko wasn;t installed.
Instead of fudging around I installed:
Tun.ko Installer
From the android market
I then checked all boxes to narrow the search and installed.
Everything worked fine, and I'm on the company VPN.
The ICS build for the TF201 was initially compiled without the tun kernel module. An update that should already be available will be compatible with the now available AnyConnect ICS package from the market. If you're using the existing rooted package (2.4.7073) you might run into some undesired behavior getting everything setup and working, though it sounds like some of you were able to get it working fine.
Also note that if you want to install the new AnyConnect ICS package, you will need to uninstall the rooted package before installing that one since the package ids are different. A reboot between uninstalling and installing is also desired.
Root needed?
I was patiently waiting for the 9.4.2.15 update to see if VPN would be fixed (without root). I was actually able to get connected with 9.4.2.14, but cannot remote desktop, ping, etc. with either version.
Am I correct in saying that without rooting and doing other "things" aside from the standard firmware updates that i will not be able to get VPN working (IPSEC XAUTH PSK). I know my settings are correct because VPN works on my laptop and iphone.
Any help would be appreciated as this is the last piece that I am trying to get working on my Transformer Prime.
Thanks, James

I do not know if you can purchase their service in your country, but take a look at Goldenfrog's VyprVPN for Android.

VyprVPN for Android is for tablets (and telephones) that are running the Android operating system.
By the way, Android 4.0.3 has a VPN client built-in. You set it up through Settings > Wireless & Networks > More... > VPN.
If you need help setting it up, just ask. I used to use a PPTP connection. Now I use a more secure L2TP/IPSec RSA certificate-based connection, which is required on Sony's tablet because it doesn't use L2TP/IPSec PSK (Pre-Shared Key) correctly.
I use BlackVPN provider, they have various servers for different applications in different countries.They also have a guide to setting it up on different devices, I then use the following apps to make it all work, you will need root as OpenVPN isn't officially supported by Android. It is the most secure and one of the fastest VPN protocols available also.
You need TUN.ko to install the TUN module.
Then you need the Open VPN Installer to install the app.
Then you need OpenVPN Settings to control which VPN server you want to use.
BTW OpenVPN kicks ass over PPTP and L2TP/IPSec. Here
My current laptop is going on 6 years old which should tell you that I don't push it very hard as far as computing power goes. Mostly what I'm doing with the laptop is email and web browsing - which is why I'm thinking the Tranformer prime + dock might be a good replacement for it.
I already know how to get my company email on it since I'm a long time Android phone user so that's not an issue.
If I were able to establish a VPN connection to the corporate network, that would clear up the few reservations I have in that if I could VPN in, then I could use remote desktop to connect to my desktop PC and do anything I needed to do that way. The issue is I'm not going to get any help our of our network administrator.
Personal devices are allowed as long as you agree to and sign the remote access and mobile devices policies. What I currently have is the installer for the Cisco VPN client (not AnyConnect) and a .pcf file. To get remote access from a Windows laptop I just have to install the client and import the .pcf file and I'm in business. For anything else I may need, its legal according to the policies but I'm just not going to get any help with it.
It looks like a lot of the connection information is in the .pcf file I use on Windows - but the password seems to be encrypted. Is there some client, either built in to the TP ICS build or that I can get from the market that would allow me to just import that .pcf file like I can in the regular VPN client? Or is there some other way to extract the information I need from the .pcf file. Like I said the network admin is extremely unhelpful and whatever I do will have to be using the resources available and on my own dime.
This is an important issue for me in that if I can't get some confidence before purchasing...I may have to stick with the Windows laptop. Anyone else familiar with this situation? I'm sure I can't be the only one.
I am curious if anyone has any insight about an issue that I am running into with an employee of the company I work for.
He is running A samsung galaxy s6 edge on 5.1.1 and using IBM Verse linked to a lotus notes account we have for our in house email.
He is having an issue when actually clicking on the link in verse; normally it is supposed to open up a "mail to" prompt for these particular links, ones we use for approving invoices, but thats not happening. Instead it opens up a box asking him if he wants to open the desired link in chrome of the default internet browser the phone came with.
This exact deal was tested on a samsung device running 5.0 without any issues and it did what we had wanted it to do.
Does anyone have any insight on weather the update from 5.0 to 5.1.1 would have disabled the "mail to" ability for HTTP and only allowed for those requests over HTTPS.
I understand if this is confusing, but any help would be awesome and if you need more info just let me know.
Thanks
