Cisco IPSEC VPN Client for Android
Message from curtis.k.larsen@utah.edu
Curious to know what others are doing for Cisco VPN Access from their Android Devices: As far as I know VPNC Widget will work if the device is rooted. I am trying to get "Samsung Anyconnect" working, it appears to successfully authenticate but then disconnects me - I think this might be a license issue or something on our ASA? Let me know if you have any insights.

On the plus side the price was reasonable.

We've also standardized on the l2tp on ASA's as it's free & works with native OS's.
Yup....it's a Droid !!!
+1 on AnyConnect. L2TP/IPSec are lower layer protocols, and I wouldn't bet on them supported natively on mobile devices indefinitely if the vendors want to push the platform forward. I presume Apple partnered with Cisco and built it into iOS at v1 so it would be a commercial success, but five years on there are better ways to do VPN. It is probably both technically and politically cumbersome for both vendors to get bug fixes and updates for IPsec client rolled together with OS updates. With the upper layer SSL stuff Apple and Cisco are free of each other. Cisco now updates AnyConnect for whatever reason they wish at a rate of about every 2-3 months from what I've seen. That's a good thing. Separating the OS from everything that can be an app just makes sense for everyone concerned rather than doing things at lower layers that could be done at higher layers because it was done that way in the past or free. I'd guess Apple will pull the Cisco IPsec client from iOS soon. Perhaps v7? AnyConnect is cheap and easy to setup, and those who don't wish to use anything else aren't entitled to dictate OS development. I could be totally wrong here, but that's how it seems to me.
