Cisco Systems VPN Client is a software application for connecting to virtual private networks based on Internet Key Exchange version 1.

On July 29, 2011, Cisco announced the end of life of the product. No further product updates were released after July 30, 2012, and support ceased on July 29, 2014.[4] The Support page with documentation links was taken down on July 30, 2016, replaced with an Obsolete Status Notification.[5]

Availability and compatibility[edit]

The software is not free but is often installed on university and business computers in accordance with a site-license. As with most corporate licenses, administrators are allowed to freely distribute the software to users within their network.

The open-source vpnc client can connect to most VPNs supported by the official client. Mozilla firefox macbook.

VPN Client 4.9.01.0230 beta added support for Mac OS X 10.6.[6] Stable version 4.9.01.0180 appears to lack that support; 4.9.00.0050 explicitly did not support versions of Mac OS X later than 10.5.[7] Gui for mac os.

VPN Client 5.0.07.0290 added support for 64-bit versions of Windows Vista and Windows 7.[8]

Security[edit]

The client uses profile configuration files (.pcf) that store VPN passwords either hashed with type 7, or stored as plaintext. A vulnerability has been identified,[9] and those passwords can easily be decoded using software or online services.[10] To work around these issues, network administrators are advised to use the Mutual Group Authentication feature, or use unique passwords (that aren't related to other important network passwords).[9]

Q: How do I uninstall Cisco Anyconnect VPN Client on Mac OS X?

Answer

If the application is still installed do this:

  1. From the Finder go to the Application folder.
  2. Look for the 'Cisco' folder and open the folder
  3. Then double click on 'Uninstall Anyconnect' start uninstall process
  4. Follow instructions to uninstall VPN program

Here's the procedure for manually uninstalling the AnyConnect client from a Mac OS X system.

As root, run the following shell script from the Terminal:
$ sudo /opt/cisco/vpn/bin/vpn_uninstall.sh

You will be prompted for your password. Once you enter it, just follow the steps

If you still having trouble and/or the new Cisco Anyconnect installation complains that you have a version installed, follow these steps:

Enter these commands to clean out the old Cisco VPN kernel extension and reboot the system.

sudo -s
rm -rf /System/Library/StartupItems/CiscoVPN
rm -rf /Library/StartupItems/CiscoVPN
rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/CiscoVPN.kext
rm -rf /Library/Extensions/CiscoVPN.kext
rm -rf /Library/Receipts/vpnclient-kext.pkg
rm -rf /Library/Receipts/vpnclient-startup.pkg
reboot

If you installed the Cisco VPN for Mac version 4.1.08005 package, enter these commands to delete the misplaced files. The deletion of these files will not affect your system, since applications do not use these misplaced files in their current location.

sudo -s
rm -rf /Cisco VPN Client.mpkg
rm -rf /com.nexUmoja.Shimo.plist
rm -rf /Profiles
rm -rf /Shimo.app
exit

Enter these commands if you no longer need the old Cisco VPN Client or Shimo.

sudo -s
rm -rf /Library/Application Support/Shimo
rm -rf /Library/Frameworks/cisco-vpnclient.framework
rm -rf /Library/Extensions/tun.kext
rm -rf /Library/Extensions/tap.kext
rm -rf /private/opt/cisco-vpnclient
rm -rf /Applications/VPNClient.app
rm -rf /Applications/Shimo.apprm -rf /private/etc/opt/cisco-vpnclient
rm -rf /Library/Receipts/vpnclient-api.pkg
rm -rf /Library/Receipts/vpnclient-bin.pkg
rm -rf /Library/Receipts/vpnclient-gui.pkg
rm -rf /Library/Receipts/vpnclient-profiles.pkg
rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.nexUmoja.Shimo.plist
rm -rf ~/Library/Application Support/Shimo
rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.cisco.VPNClient.plist
rm -rf ~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices/Local/TFSM/com.
nexumoja.Shimo.Profiles
rm -rf ~/Library/Logs/Shimo*
rm -rf ~/Library/Application Support/Shimo
rm -rf ~/Library/Application Support/Growl/Tickets/Shimo.growlTicket
exit

Finally this.

sudo pkgutil --forget com.cisco.pkg.anyconnect.vpn
