Background

Launched the Cisco AnyConnect Client on my laptop and noticed I did not have pre-configured VPN servers listed.

It quickly dawned on me that this was due to the fact the computer I currently was using as a self install version of the software.

On my work computer our Tech Support group performs the installation and configures the client.

Where does Cisco AnyConnect store its configuration profile?

AnyConnect stores profile information in the File System.

The user is able to create a profile for each VPN.
