Introduction

This document describes the custom installation process for Anyconnect with the use of the MAC command line.

Prerequisites

Requirements

Cisco recommends that you have knowledge of these topics:

  • Anyconnect
  • MacOS x 10.14.6

Components Used

The information used in the document is based on this software:

  • MacOS X 10.14.6

  • Anyconnect 4.8 MR2

The information in this document was created from the devices in a specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If your network is live, ensure that you understand the potential impact of any command.

Background Information

There are 2 deployment types for Anyconnect, one is a weddeploy based installation which is automatically installed by a Cisco Firewall or Router, and a pre-deploy installation, which requires user intervention.

In this scenario, the pre-deploy installation is customized on MAC endpoints to only instal the selected modules.

Method 1

Step 1. Convert the .dmg Package

Convert the .dmg package from a read-only state to read-write, with the use of Disk Utility or hdiutil as shown in the image.

hdiutil convert anyconnect-macos-4.8.02045-predeploy-k9.dmg -format UDRW -o anyconnect-macos-4.8.02045-predeploy-k9-rw.dmg

Step 2. Run the Converted File

Run the converted file anyconnect-macos-4.8.02045-predeploy-k9-rw.dmg in order to initiate the installation process.

Step 3. Generate the Installer XML File

This example is intended to send all the installer options to a text file called vpn_install_choices.xml, which is located in the Downloads folder. For example:

Step 4. Extract the Install Options

The code presented, is an XML code extracted from the vpn_install_choises.xml file, it contains the necessary code to custom install all the Anyconnect modules:

Step 5. Save the Code with the Required Modules

Save the new code (overwrite the original file vpn_install_choices.xml) and modify it to either skip (0) or install (1) the modules.

For this example, VPN, web security, AMP, DART, posture, ISE posture and Umbrella modules are set to 1 in the integer value, in order to get installed.

The integer value for the NVM module is set to 0, in order to be skipped by the installation package.

Step 6. Locate the Install Choices File

The vpn_install_choices.xml file is now available in the /Volumes/AnyConnect 4.8.02045/ directory, as shown in the image.
