Usage
How hard was it for you to get Cisco AnyConnect to work on your linux install? Network manager with the openconnect and vpnc plugins worked better than anyconnect for me. Although both worked. 1 point 7 years ago. I used to use the official anyconnect client in. Our office uses openvpn, one client uses PPTP, another client uses cisco anyconnect. All of them work perfectly on windows 10, I had issues with ubuntu 16.04 so I said hey ubuntu 16.04 is too old, lets switch back to manjaro. My PC is dual booted. Openvpn: I can import the.ovpn files successfully in Manjaro, I use username and password, no keys. New user here, first post. I'm also having the same issue on a brand new Arch install, and up to date. Unfortunately 'openconnect' does not work for me (never did), and I know the Cisco version (anyconnect-linux64-4.4.01054-core-vpn-webdeploy-k9.sh) I'm trying to install works (tested in other distros).

I’ve tried the following distributions and these all work with the 64bit version of the AnyConnect client version 4.3.02039 or above
- Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
- Linux Mint 18
- Zorin OS 9
- OpenSuse 42.1
- Fedora 25
you can enter the following commands into Terminal to ensure you have the Pango Library installed
Ubuntu
OpenSuse
Install Cisco Anyconnect
sudo zypper install libpangox-1_0-0
Fedora
Manjaro Cisco Anyconnect App
sudo dnf install pangox-compat
Zorin & Mint both worked out of the box and didn’t require any items to get the Cisco AnyConnect client working
Manjaro Cisco Anyconnect Login
Install the library and then follow the guidelines in the UCL Setup guide, that’s all that’s needed - for reference - UCL VPN Guide
I haven’t had time to troubleshoot this on Manjaro, but the following command installs the Pango Library, so thats a good place to start.
sudo pacman -S pangox-compat
