Installing the AnyConnect Client on a User's PC
You can set up a user's PC to run the AnyConnect client in standalone mode by installing the client
software for the appropriate operating system directly on the user's PC. In standalone mode, the user
starts the AnyConnect client software without first establishing a web connection. The client uses
essentially the same authentication mechanisms as the web-enabled (WebLaunch) mode, but the client
displays a GUI to the user, asking for the authentication credentials. The following sections describe how
to install the client on Windows, Linux, and Mac systems.
