Establish Anyconect connection on cloud server

I am trying to connect my AnyConnect VPN to a cloud server (OVH Cloud or Azure), it accepts my username and password and when it is establishing a connection it generates 2 errors:

  • vpn establishment capability for a remote user is disabled.
  • cisco secure client was not able to establish a connection to the specified secure gateway

 

The first error I made a configuration change when creating the profile.

<WindowsVPNEstablishment>AllowRemoteUsers</WindowsVPNEstablishment>

 

However, when I try it always tells me both errors.

 

But I'm not sure what caused the second error.

 

When using that profile on a physical computer, Anyconnect connects me without problems.

Have you tried disabling your machine's antivirus or local firewall?  Does your server have an Internet connection?

I am not a Cisco Meraki employee. My suggestions are based on documentation of Meraki best practices and day-to-day experience.

If those errors report at the same time. The second error might be triggered by the first one. 

Did you try to run the anyconnect on the server via a remote desktop? What if you managed to log on to the server directly and try again?

Is the VMX configured to push a profile when connecting (and maybe overriding the setting change you made)?

 

Is the VMX running current stable or newer firmware?  There has been a lot of AnyConnect fixes and updates in the firmware.

 

Are you running a recent AnyConnect client?  I think 5.1.3.62 is the current release.
