- 64-bit cisco-vpn-client remote desktop vpn windows 7 I have a laptop using Windows 7 64bit connected over wireless connection to a router and then onto the Internet. That laptop was connecting to a Windows 2000 Server over remote desktop through Cisco ASA device using Cisco VPN client version 5.
- Sep 11, 2019 Duo MFA for Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) supports push, phone call, or passcode authentication for AnyConnect desktop and AnyConnect mobile client VPN connections that use SSL encryption. This configuration does not feature the interactive Duo Prompt for web-based logins, but does capture client IP information for use with Duo policies.
To enable Cisco Anyconnect VPN through a remote desktop you must first create an Anyconnect Client Profile. The client profile is basically a XML file that gets pushed out to the client upon VPN establishment. This XML file can be created using a text editor or ASDM.

VA Remote Access
VA Handbook 6500 identifies the compliance requirements for VA remote access users.
VA supports remote access with two different applications 1. Citrix Access Gateway (CAG) and 2. CISCO RESCUE VPN Client. The Citrix Access Gateway is designed for users that do not have VA Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) – CAG is a good option to allow users access to general applications such as email and chat. The CISCO RESCUE VPN Client is only for use on VA Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) and is installed on all GFE laptops. Users would still need to request remote access and have their remote access accounts enabled for use with either CAG or RESCUE.
You may request remote access by visiting the Remote Access Self Service Portal ( only available while on VA's internal network).
Please note the Self-Service Portal is only accessible from within the VA network, it is not externally accessible. If you require technical support, please reference the FAQs and other supporting documentation found at https://raportal.vpn.va.gov or contact the Enterprise Service Desk (855) 673-4357.
Software, supporting documentation, FAQs and general information are hosted at the VA’s Remote Access Information and Media Portal. Please ensure you have Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.1 enabled on your web browser before attempting to access this site. To enable TLS within Internet Explorer: Select ‘Tools’, then ‘Internet Options’, then the ‘Advanced’ tab. Enable the checkbox for ‘Use TLS 1.1’ (found towards the end of the list).
