What certificates are needed for AnyConnect?
Certificates are essential when you configure AnyConnect. Only RSA based certificates are supported in SSL and IPSec. Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm certificates (ECDSA) are supported in IPSec, but it's not possible to deploy new AnyConnect package or XML profile when ECDSA based certificate is used. It means that you can use it for IPSec, but you will have to predeploy AnyConnect package and XML profile to every user and any change in XML profile will have to be manually reflected on each client (bug: CSCtx42595 ). Additionally the certificate should have Subject Alternative Name extension with DNS name and/or IP address to avoid errors in web browsers.
