Thank for that. Any idea what additional functionality the advanced license will cover?

Thanks for that - still not very intuitive on Meraki's part, but at least I think I get it now 👍

For the life of me I can't figure this one out. Looking to purchase an MS130-24P switch and trying to figure out what license I need to purchase to go with it. The CCW portal has two possible options, but neither of them seem to be a perfect fit: LIC-MS130-CMPT-3Y LIC-MS130-24-3Y I have no idea what the CMPT license is or why I might need it. Google seemed equally stumped by that one. The second one listed above appears to have the "24" designation but there is no "24P" option anywhere to be found, which is what I need. What gives Meraki and why is this so confusing?

Thanks PhilipDAth. If the answer to my question is no, then that's what I was looking for. I know about the other options, but they are not viable for what I'm needing in this specific case.

Is it possible to use Duo to require MFA for Meraki Cloud Authenticated users while using Meraki Client VPN? Specifically we need to use the AnyConnect option with Meraki Cloud Authenticated users, but need to be able to protect that connection further with MFA. Is this scenario possible?

Okay thanks, I will look into these options a little further. Appreciate the input on this!

This will be for multiple techs on our team, and it is intended to be a long term solution. Thanks!

So with all the power and Internet outages we've had recently due to weather, we have identified our own office Internet connection as a potential single point of failure. We have all our client's Meraki dashboard portals locked down to only be available from our own static IP address. Other portals we use are also locked down by IP address only. So we need to add some redundancy so that if our Internet connection goes down, we can still support our clients by accessing our tools from another IP address. I have looked into setting up a vMX in Azure, but it appears that you cannot assign a static IP address to it as that's a limitation on Azure side. Not sure if that's accurate or not, just what I have read. If there was a way to allow access to our client's dashboards based on FQDN then I could create a DNS record to point to my home Internet IP address, but it seems Meraki doesn't allow that?? What are some other simple options that we could implement to add this redundancy? Would prefer to stay in the Microsoft and/or Meraki family rather than add another third party solution. Any ideas?

Has there been any progress on this in the last 5 years? We just got a new fiber connection installed for one of our clients, and they only provided a /31 static IP block. Any idea if this configuration is now supported?

I haven't been able to test/prove that this is the issue yet, but I have noticed that any clients that do have connection issues are all configured to use a non-standard SSL port number for Anyconnect. For example, they might be using 4443 instead of 443. Not sure if that non-standard SSL port number might be something that the ISP of the remote user is interrogating a little more aggressively because it's non-standard?

Thanks for this! I was banging my head trying to figure out which browser Anyconnect was using for that pop up window, thinking it was using one of the installed browsers. Great to know it's not, and which folder to clear to empty the cache. Will give this a spin here today to see if it works 👍

So we have set up AnyConnect to authenticate via SAML with Azure AD for client VPN authentication. We asked the Meraki support to turn off the force authentication option because it makes the users have to type in their full email address and password every time they connect to VPN. However with that turned off, many users are never prompted for their username, password or MFA if they are signed into Office 365 on their computers. What we would like is for the users to not be prompted for their username or password, but still get prompted for their MFA each time they connect. Is this behavior possible to enable either from the Meraki side or from the Azure AD side?

Thanks Bo_Tang, this actually worked! I didn't think it would as the client VPN has it's own different subnet. But hey I'll take the W! Thanks again!

We are trying to reach a system on our internal network that will only accept connections from an internal IP address on the same subnet. Is there a way to make the Meraki firewall present a connection request from outside the network as if it's coming from an internal IP address?

So we have a few clients with MX64 firewalls. Anyconnect functionality was not added until firmware version 17.10.2. So downgrading to 16.16.6 is not a solution for these firewalls. We also tried the beta 18.104 but the behavior is still the same (blank white windows as well as CSRF token validation errors). Seems like this feature is far from fully baked.

You will need to contact Meraki support and ask them to disable the "forceauthn" option (set it to false) for SAML authentication.

Thanks Ryan. I don't see a solution there though. How do we fix this to work the way it did before?

We successfully implemented Azure AD authentication for AnyConnect and have been using it successfully. We just upgraded our MX67 firmware from version 16.16 to version 17.10.2 and now all of a sudden when we try to connect it prompts us to type in the full email address and password each time. The computer does not remember anything, and every time it is asking for us to type in the full credentials. Is there a way to get it to remember the last logged in user so that we do not have to type in our email address every time?

Yep, I had to contact Meraki support to enable the SAML for Anyconnect feature. Not sure why it isn't just enabled, but that is a step I had to do too.

You don't need any particular license to be able to authenticate using SAML to Azure AD. However, to enable a conditional access policy to require MFA, you do need at least an Azure AD P1 license. Our users get that as part of the M365 Business Premium, so we did not need to purchase that separately. The link below helped me set up the SAML authentication part: AnyConnect Azure AD SAML Configuration - Cisco Meraki Then the conditional access policy to require MFA is also pretty straight forward once you have the license to enable it. In Azure AD, when you're inside the Cisco AnyConnect application that you configured in the previous step, you can click on the Conditional Access tab and it will then create a new policy that is limited in scope to the AnyConnect application only. Add your users and your conditions and you should be ready to test it out.

Thanks, I was able to figure out a solution using the links you provided. We decided to use Microsoft MFA instead of Duo MFA for this, but otherwise we got it working. Used the SAML based setup to authenticate the AnyConnect VPN connections via Azure AD. From there we used a conditional access policy to require MFA. Works like a champ!
