Good questions all.
1. I did look at the Cisco web site--they only support Red Hat and Ubuntu. So I would not try the Ubuntu version since that is a Debian-based OS. If anything I would try the Red Hat version since Mageia is closer to that OS--but odds would against being successful. Hence, my question to this forum was to see if anyone has any experience with AnyConnect here.
2. My company only supports Windows and Apple products. So no help there...in addition, Covid-19 changed everything about alternate work locations back in 2020 and providing resources (or the lack of it in my situation due to shortages) to support AWLs. I just need the client software to work in Mageia so I can connect to my work PC--I have no other concerns beyond that due licenses etc. I already have all that.
I'm a maverick of sorts since I love different OSes. My primary Linux is Mageia (or OpenSuse), which is my daily driver. My other daily driver is ZetaOS--always loved BeOS!
I stood up a laptop last year to enable working from home since resources were strained but my AWL is very productive all this time under the current circumstances. I would like to retire the Windows laptop and work from my Mageia box instead (if possible).
As a database engineer by trade, I am used to working remotely connecting to various Windows Server, Linux (Red Hat or Suse), and AIX platforms supporting a variety of database servers.
I guess I can go back to Fedora's KDE Spin OS (since it's Red Hat-based OS) and that would solve my problem with Cisco AnyConnect.
I was just curious if anyone using Mageia ever encountered this situation.
