🔐 Deploying to Cisco ASA

1. Copy the headend packages to ASA flash:

   copy tftp://<server>/cisco-secure-client-win-<ver>-webdeploy-k9.pkg disk0:/
   

2. Register the images (the number sets the order the ASA offers them to clients):

   configure terminal
   webvpn
    anyconnect image disk0:/cisco-secure-client-win-<ver>-webdeploy-k9.pkg 1
    anyconnect image disk0:/cisco-secure-client-win-arm64-<ver>-webdeploy-k9.pkg 2
    anyconnect image disk0:/cisco-secure-client-macos-<ver>-webdeploy-k9.pkg 3
    anyconnect image disk0:/cisco-secure-client-linux64-<ver>-webdeploy-k9.pkg 4
    anyconnect image disk0:/cisco-secure-client-linux-arm64-<ver>-webdeploy-k9.pkg 5
    anyconnect enable
   

3. (Only for SAML with external browser) register the External SSO package:

   webvpn
    anyconnect external-browser-pkg disk0:/external-sso-<ver>-webdeploy-k9.pkg
   

4. Check and save:

   show webvpn anyconnect
   write memory
   

Old images: no anyconnect image disk0:/<old-file>.pkg, then delete disk0:/<old-file>.pkg.
