The remainder of your VPN session is uniquely encrypted following Authentication. You are then asked for credentials and a group membership. Instead the client and the server auto-negotiate that first layer encryption using SSL. SSL-VPN does not require the use of a shared secret for the first layer of encryption.
The process you describe above leads me to believe that you are connecting to an SSL-VPN. I believe that the An圜onnect client can be used to connect to a number of different types of VPN offered by Cisco. Does anyone have any experience with a setup like this, or have any suggestions of what else to try? My best guess is that the Cisco client is operating in a perhaps new mode where it can negotiate directly with the server to auto-discover any necessary configuration information, and that it’s not stored on disk anywhere. Transferring a chosen group name from the list seemingly auto-discovered by the An圜onnect client, but the OS X VPN configuration seems to also require explicitly entering either a shared secret or a certificate. I cannot, however, figure out how this configuration can be fully transferred to the OS X native VPN client.

Simply entering a username and password initiates the connection in the mode specified by the given “group,” and everything works fine. This gives a login prompt including a group selection dropdown, and username and password fields. Instead, on first launch I just get a blank VPN field in which I simply enter a hostname by hand (in this case, ) and hit connect. This matches the UI experience: there don’t seem to be any preconfigured profiles. There’s no sign of any profile XML or PCF files that I can find in /opt/cisco, /Library, or $HOME/Library. opt/cisco/anyconnect/profile contains only An圜onnectProfile.xsd (a standard schema definition, not anything specific to this configuration). The An圜onnect installer where I am now (version 5) seems not to deploy any profile information. However, all discussion focuses on copying critical config information (shared secret or certificate, in particular) from a PCF or Profile.xml file included in a site-specific An圜onnect installer. Many people have discussed configuring the OS X built-in VPN client to connect to Cisco VPNs in place of the An圜onnect client.
