AnyConnect: Enable Duo 2Factor Authentication
KB ID 0001650 Problem I was asked if I’d ever set this up the other week. Surprisingly I had not, I’d deployed Duo for other things, but not for Cisco AnyConnect. As I had some other ‘Duo’ related tasks coming up, I was deploying it on the test bench, then adding in my Cisco ASA and AnyConnect wasn’t much more work! Here’s my topology; My ASA is running version 9.1 My Duo Authentication Proxy is...
Get Ready for LDAPS Channel Binding
KB ID 0001645 Problem I have written about Enabling LDAPS a long time ago, but it’s a subject that’s about to become important again, so I’ll revisit the subject.

AnyConnect: Stop Prompting for Certificates
