Cisco Secure Client - AnyConnect VPN

When attempting to use the AnyConnect VPN (and client) in lieu of the IPSEC client vpn connection, we are getting "Login Failed" errors.  Same credentials, same Meraki MX appliance.  IPSEC client vpn connections work, but AnyConnect do not.  I'm wanting to use the AnyConnect client as it is a more elegant solution than the Windows Native VPN client for example.

Have you checked the logs on the MX?

Yes, getting "Authentication request rejected", but the log doesn't state the reason why

What type of authentication are you using?

RADIUS authentication…..  I’m getting the following error in the MS/NPS event log:

 

“The RADIUS request did not match any configured connection request policy (CRP).”  Trying to find the correct NPS/CRP configuration to match our Meraki AnyConnect settings.

The NPS setup is slightly different for AnyConnect vs. Client VPN I believe so you can't just move from one to the other without a new connection request policy. Take a look at both of these KB's and cross compare the connection request policy settings. I recommend creating a new one for AnyConnect if you have not done so already:

 

Client VPN:

AnyConnect:

Thank you, much!  Your articles help me resolve the issue!

You need to create a new policy for Anyconnect.
