Overview

Stanford's VPN allows you to connect to Stanford's network as if you were on campus, making access to restricted services possible. To connect to the VPN from your Windows computer you need to install the Cisco AnyConnect VPN client.

Two types of VPN are available:

  • Default Stanford (split-tunnel). When using Stanford's VPN from home, we generally recommend using the Default Stanford split-tunnel VPN. This routes and encrypts all traffic going to Stanford sites and systems through the Stanford network as if you were on campus. All non-Stanford traffic proceeds to its destination directly.
  • Full Traffic (non-split-tunnel). This encrypts all internet traffic from your computer but may inadvertently block you from using resources on your local network, such as a networked printer at home. If you are traveling or using wi-fi in an untrusted location like a coffee shop or hotel, you may wish to encrypt all of your internet traffic through the Full Traffic non-split-tunnel VPN to provide an additional layer of security.

You can select the type of VPN you want to use each time you connect to the Stanford Public VPN.

Install the VPN client

  1. Download the Cisco AnyConnect VPN for Windows installer.
  2. Double-click the InstallAnyConnect.exe file.
  3. When a message saying the Cisco AnyConnect client has been installed, click OK.

Connect to the Stanford VPN

  1. Launch the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client client.
    If you don't see Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client in the list of programs, navigate to Cisco > Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client.
  2. When prompted for a VPN, enter su-vpn.stanford.edu and then click Connect.
  3. Enter the following information and then click OK:
    • Group: select Default Stanford split- tunnel (non-Stanford traffic flows normally on an unencrypted internet connection) or Full Traffic non-split-tunnel (all internet traffic flows through the VPN connection)
    • Username: your SUNet ID
    • Password: your SUNet ID password

  4. Next, the prompt for two-step authentication displays. Enter a passcode or enter the number that corresponds to another option(in this example, enter 1 to authenticate using Duo Push to an iPad). Then click Continue.
    • You may have to scroll down the list to see all of your options.
    • If your only registered authentication method is printed list, hardware token, or Google Authenticator, the menu does not display. Enter a passcode in the Answer field and click Continue.
  5. Click Accept to connect to the Stanford Public VPN service.
  6. Once the VPN connection is established, a message displays in the lower-right corner of your screen, informing you that you are now connected to the VPN.

Disconnect from the Stanford VPN

  1. In the notification area, click the Cisco AnyConnect icon if it is displayed. Otherwise, go to your list of programs and click Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client.
  2. At the prompt, click Disconnect.

Introduction

This document describes in detail the steps required to install the Cisco Anyconnect NAM agent with the profiles conversion via batch file(.bat). The batch file can then be executed locally on the system or remotely to all the machines through the SCCM server in a large scale deployment. Cisco ISE can provision this software but it requires end user's interaction and installation privileges.

Usage of Batch file script serves several benefits :

  • All the wireless Profile conversion.
  • VPN Module can be disabled if it is not desired.
  • Reduce the manual implementation time and cost by executing the batch file and installing the AnyConnect modules all at once.

Prerequisites

Requirements

Cisco recommends that you have knowledge of these topics:

  • Windows Operating System. Network Access Manager is not supported on Mac OS X or Linux.
  • The system should have minimum storage of 50 MB for the AnyConnect packages.
  • The WLAN service (WLAN AutoConfig) must be running in the systems.

Note: Conversion is not done if a Network Access Manager XML configuration file already exists (userConfiguration.xml).

Components Used

The information in this document is based on these software and hardware versions:

  • Windows 7
  • AnyConnect 4.6.0.3.049

The information in this document was created from the devices in a specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If your network is live, ensure that you understand the potential impact of any command.

Background Information

  1. The entire Cisco Anyconnect package should be downloaded from the Cisco site and extracted. The required msi files and configuration.xml file should be present in the location from where the batch file is executed.

These files have to be copied in the location C:cisco :

anyconnect-win-4.6.03049-core-vpn-predeploy-k9.msi

anyconnect-win-4.6.03049-nam-predeploy-k9.msi

configuration.xml

2. The Network Access Manager module can be configured to convert some existing Windows 7 or later wireless profiles to the Network Access Manager profile format when the module is installed on the client system for the first time. Infrastructure networks that match these criteria that can be converted:

  • Open

  • Static WEP

  • WPA/WPA2 Personal

  • Only non-GPO native Wi-Fi user network profiles are converted.

    Note: For WPA2 Enterprise profiles, a profile with the same name must be created through Network Access Manager Profile Editor in the configuration.xml file

3. The system is restarted after the installation and this should be notified to the users already.

Configure

Creation of Batch file

In this document, the assumed location of the Anyconnect msi, configuration.xml files is C:cisco. These commands or the batch file with these commands must be executed from the same location.

  • cd C:cisco

Installation of the core VPN module is required for the NAM module to be installed. This command installs the core VPN module and hides the VPN module tile.

  • msiexec /package anyconnect-win-4.6.04054-core-vpn-predeploy-k9.msi /norestart /passive PRE_DEPLOY_DISABLE_VPN=1

A timeout is required for the installation of the module to complete. This command induces a timeout of 15 minutes.

  • timeout /t 15

This command installs the NAM module with profile conversion enabled.

  • msiexec /i anyconnect-win-4.6.04054-nam-predeploy-k9.msi PROFILE_CONVERSION=1 /norestart /passive

A timeout is required for the installation of the module to complete. This command induces a timeout of 15 minutes.

  • timeout /t 15

This command copies the configuration.xml profile which is created with the NAM Profile editor, to the required location.

  • xcopy configuration.xml C:ProgramDataCiscoCisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility ClientNetwork Access ManagernewConfigFiles

This command indicates that the required installation and conversion is complete and notifies that a reboot is initiated in 2 minutes.

  • echo 'Your machine will reboot in 2 minutes. Please save your work'
Connecting

This command initiates a restart the Windows Operating System in 2 minutes

  • shutdown -r -t 120

Note: All these commands or the batch file with these commands must be executed with administrative privileges and in the same order.

Anyconnect User-End Procedure

  1. Once the Anyconnect agent is installed on the machine when the machine restarts, the Anyconnect icon pops up and the user is connected to preferred SSID in the list.

2. One can connect to other SSIDs from the drop-down menu provided in the AnyConnect NAM Module UI.

3. In order to view the saved networks, click on the list icon provided in the NAM module UI and then click Manage Networks, as shown in the image.

4. Connections to any network provided by the adapters managed by the AnyConnect NAM module must be made from AnyConnect NAM.

Example: In order to connect to a new wifi connection Mnason-mob-new, select the network, a pop-up screen is thrown for the key. Enter the wifi password in the Key field to connect to the new network.

Additional Information

Native Supplicant tray icon may confuse the users to connect to a network as NAM must be used and not the Native Supplicant. These changes can be made to the Windows registry to hide the network connectivity tray icon:

  1. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesExplorer.
  2. Edit the value of the REG_DWORD named HideSCANetwork to 1 (hexadecimal) if present or create one if it is not present.
  3. Restart the system.

Note: This change to the registry was tested with Windows 7 and Windows 10.

Verify

Use this section to confirm that your configuration works properly.

After the changes to the registry and the reboot, the network connectivity tray should be hidden.
