Configuring Application Helper
Clientless SSL VPN includes an Application Profile Customization Framework option that lets the
adaptive security appliance handle non-standard applications and web resources so they display
correctly over a clientless SSL VPN connection. An APCF profile contains a script that specifies when
(pre, post), where (header, body, request, response), and what data to transform for a particular
application. The script is in XML and uses sed (stream editor) syntax to transform strings/text.
Cisco TAC may help with APCF to address specific rendering issues if the smart tunneling feature is not
working or cannot be used.
You can configure multiple APCF profiles on a adaptive security appliance to run in parallel. Within an
APCF profile script, multiple APCF rules can apply. In this case, the adaptive security appliance
processes the oldest rule first, based on configuration history, the next oldest rule next, and so forth.
You can store APCF profiles on the adaptive security appliance flash memory, or on an HTTP, HTTPS,
FTP, or TFTP server. Use this pane to add, edit, and delete APCF packages, and to put them in priority
order.

Flash File System Path—Specifies the destination path on the flash device of the adaptive security
appliance and the name of the destination file. Click Browse Flash to automatically insert the path
into this field, or enter the path. For example:
disk0:/securedesktop_asa_3_1_1_16.pkg
File Name—Located in the Browse Flash dialog box that opens if you click Browse Flash, this field
displays the name of the Cisco Secure Desktop image you selected on your local computer. We
recommend that you use this name to prevent confusion. Confirm that this field displays the same
name of the local file you selected and click OK. The Browse Flash dialog box closes. ASDM inserts
the destination file path into the Flash File System Path field.
