Cisco VPN Reset fails

Bill Roland

A long time ago I setup the Cisco VPN configuration because we had a vendor who had the Cisco VPN client and they used it to VPN into our network.  That vendor has moved on and I wanted to "reset" the config back to default.  When I hit Reset, after a couple of seconds I get a red bar at the top of the page which helpfully says, "CISCO VPN client configuration reset failed."  No other information about why it failed or what I could do to resolve the issue is presented or recorded that I can find.  

Since the new Sophos Connect client will use this, and I want to use it when 17.5 comes out, I'd like to figure out why this is happening and what I can do about it.  Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

    You get this RED alert in XG? 

    Maybe you can link your current config? Could be some kind of miss configuration right now or your currently used cert is not working.

    This is what I see:

     

    How can I link the current config?  I am using a PSK if that matters.

    Can you provide a screenshot of your XG Cisco VPN Client settings?

    Mh - Would suggest to clean it by yourself and try to hit reset again. Maybe the current PSK is invalid or other stuff. 

    Never saw this issue before.

    I've tried every combination of settings I can imagine and while they all apply fine, the reset function fails.  I guess (?) it won't be a problem upon upgrade to 17.5 and configuring and using Sophos Connect, but i still find it a little curious.  

    Not sure if there is a command line equivalent function to perform a reset?

    Can you reset it while it is enabled? 

    You can try to reset and take a look in the csc.log and applog.log

    applog.log showed the error:
