Add an AnyConnect Client Profile XML File

An AnyConnect client profile is a group of configuration parameters stored in an XML file that the client uses to configure its operation and appearance. These parameters (XML tags) include the names and addresses of host computers and settings to enable more client features.

You can create an AnyConnect client profile using the AnyConnect Profile Editor. This editor is a GUI-based configuration tool that is available as part of the AnyConnect software package. It is an independent program that you run outside of the CDO. For more information about AnyConnect Profile Editor, see Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client Administrator Guide.
