https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/security/flexvpn/200555-FlexVPN-AnyConnect-IKEv2-Remote-Access.htmlTo use local authentication for Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Clients that connect to a Flex VPN server, the requirement is to use EAP-AnyConnect.
The Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client is a virtual private network ( VPN) client that provides users with secure remote access to enterprise networks. It is commonly used with Flex VPN, which is Cisco's implementation of the Internet Key Exchange version 2 (IKEv2) protocol. Flex VPN provides a unified approach to VPN configuration and deployment that simplifies the management of VPN connections.
When a Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client connects to a Flex VPN server, it needs to authenticate itself to the server. There are several authentication methods that can be used, including local authentication, which uses a username and password stored on the client device.
EAP-AnyConnect is a type of Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) that is specifically designed for use with Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Clients. It allows the client to authenticate itself using a username and password, as well as other authentication factors such as digital certificates or smart cards.
EAP query-identity is another type of EAP that is commonly used for user authentication, but it is not specifically designed for use with Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Clients. It is typically used with other VPN clients or wireless networks.
Using certificates instead of a username and password is also a valid authentication method, but it is not a requirement for using local authentication with Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Clients that connect to a Flex VPN server.
AnyConnect profiles are used to configure and customize the behavior of the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client. While profiles may include authentication settings, they are not a requirement for using local authentication with Flex VPN.
In summary, the requirement to use local authentication for Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Clients that connect to a Flex VPN server is to use EAP-AnyConnect as the authentication method.
