Error Messages

This section shows a list of error messages along with the solutions.

Package Corrupt Error Message

Download

When AnyConnect 2.3 is launched from an Apple MAC machine, the Anyconnect Package corrupt or unavailable error message appears and eventually, the connection attempt fails.

Solution

This can be a problem with the absence of the MAC-related AnyConnect package on the flash of the router. Upload the suitable AnyConnect package for MAC in order to resolve this issue. Upload the corresponding AnyConnect package, which depends upon the MAC architecture. For MACs on the Intel processor, you need the i386 macos image and for MACs that run the Power PC processor (PPC) you need the powerpc macos image. These are example packages for your reference:

  • anyconnect-macosx-i386-2.5.3055-k9.pkg

  • anyconnect-macosx-powerpc-2.5.3055-k9.pkg

Split DNS Issues

When split DNS is enabled on an AnyConnect setup, it is found that all the DNS queries are sent in clear but not tunneled. This is a problem with only the Apple MAC machines and works fine with Windows machines.

Solution

This behavior is observed and filed in Cisco bug ID CSCtf03894 (registered customers only) . In order to resolve this issue, you can upgrade to the AnyConnect release 3.0.4235, which has the Split DNS Functionality Enhancement. As a workaround, you can also use the built-in IPSec VPN client supported by Apple, which does not have this issue.

SVC Error Message

The launch of AnyConnect from a Macbook Pro running OSX Leopard is not successful. The VPN gateway is ASA running 8.0.4. The connection fails and the SVC Message: 16/ERROR: Initialization failure (mem allocfailed, etc.) error message appears.

Solution

This can be a problem with the way the MAC machine attempts to connect to the ASA. First verify if any IPv6 adaptors are enabled on the MAC machine and check if MAC tries to contact ASA over the IPv6 network. If so, it fails as the IPv6 is not supported with AnyConnect. In order to resolve this, disable the IPv6 related services on the MAC machine and try to connect with an IPv4 address.

Web-based Installation Error Message when AnyConnect is Launched on MAC

There are intermittent issues with you launch the AnyConnect version 2.5 on the MAC with OSX 10.5.6. The web-based installation was unsuccessful error message appears. At that time, you are unable to download and install AnyConnect, and the browser used is Firefox. If you reboot the MAC machine, this fixes the issue temporarily, but intermittently, the issue happens again.

Solution

Verify if your VPN gateways are connected in Load-balancer mode. Connect ps4 controller to remote play. If it is connected, then there could be some DNS cache-related issues that cause improper DNS redirects. In order to resolve this issue, always try to map the DNS URL to connect to one specific VPN gateway only.

MAC OSX 10.6.3 is Unable to get to Internet

When you use the AnyConnect on a MAC machine, you can access the Internal Corporate network but you are unable to browse to the Internet. It neither works by FQDN nor by IP address. There is a proxy server in use for Internet traffic.

Solution

The issue can be due to the length of the PMTU. Verify the existing MTU size on the VPN gateway, for example, ASA and modify it to a lesser value. In this sample output, the mtu size is reduced to 1204 from existing 1400.

AnyConnect on MAC fails to launch to Cisco IOS Router

The attempt to launch AnyConnect in standalone mode to a Cisco IOS® Router running Cisco IOS Software Release 12.4(20)T is unsuccessful. The anyconnect internal error (state: not connected) error message appears.

Solution

Cisco IOS Software Release 12.4(20)T supports AnyConnect on MAC in standalone mode without any problem. In order to resolve this, try to use the complete URL when you connect to the Cisco IOS head-end device. This is a sample URL:

If this issue persists, contact Cisco TAC (registered customers only) for further troubleshooting.

Note: You need to have valid Cisco user credentials to contact Cisco TAC.

Wireless CSSC for an Apple MAC

Currently, the NAM module on the AnyConnect 3.0 product replaces the Cisco Secure Services Client (CSSC). Refer to Network Access Manager (Replacement for CSSC) for more information. There is no current plan to enable NAM to support MAC OSX platform.

Unable to Upgrade Firefox while AnyConnect is Installed on MAC

This error message appears when you upgrade Firefox on Apple machine version 10.6:

On machines that use softtokens, this error message appears:

It is observed that these MAC machines have AnyConnect version 2.5 installed. The current version of Firefox is 3.6.13.

Solution

This behavior has been tested and filed in Cisco bug ID CSCtn93915 (registered customers only) . As a workaround, you can try any of these described options.

Anyconnect

  • Uninstall AnyConnect, upgrade Firefox and then install AnyConnect again.

  • Uninstall the current version of firefox then install the new version. All other upgrades after this should work fine.

Web-based Installation of AnyConnect Hangs

The authentication phase works fine but the VPN system hangs at the Using Sun Java for installation phase.

Solution

The issue could be with the Java and Web applet settings on the machine. Sometimes, Java gets stuck when you use the web launch with MAC machine. Refer to Cisco bug ID CSCtq86368 (registered customers only) for more information. In order to resolve this issue, follow the below steps.

  1. Uninstall AnyConnect.

  2. Open Java preferences.

  3. Change to run applets in their own process.

    Notability mac app store. Which is why human App Reviewers ensure that the apps on the App Store adhere to our strict app review standards. Our App Store Review Guidelines require apps to be safe, provide a good user experience, comply with our privacy rules, secure devices from malware. When I try to update Notability in my mac, (iMac, with MacOS Big Sure), the app store said that and I am confusing. Dose the developer removed the app? Why can't I longer use the app even if I bought it earlier? What are the solutions to this problem? I like the Mac app (and the UI is fine) but I wish it used more core system UI elements (like check boxes, the color picker, the photo picker, and so on).Also, the app is laggy and uses up a lot of RAM. And the iPad app needs to be overhauled too-the right third of the library screen is filled with empty space, the app doesn’t support multiple windows, and it’s not using iOS 14’s context. Essentially Ginger Labs has merged the old Mac app (in terms of how it used a four column view where column 1 was your subjects, column 2 was the list of notes in the subject, column 3 was the note itself, and column 4 was the list of pages in the current note) with the iPadOS version of notability.

  4. Drag the 32 bit Java on top.

    If this does not help, upgrade the AnyConnect client to the latest available release.
