Cisco AnyConnect 4.9 MR4 will be released between December 2, 2020, and December 3, 2020, for all customers across all production release tracks who have the AnyConnect Cloud auto-update feature enabled in settings.
This update automatically updates AnyConnect, including the VPN module and any installed plugins. Updates will not happen when the VPN is active.
The auto-update feature is deployed for all AnyConnect-capable organizations. It is disabled by default. You can enable or disable it at any time. For example, you can enable auto-update just long enough to update all of your devices and then disable it again.
To enable the auto-update feature for your organization's account:
- Log into Umbrella and navigate to Deployments > Core Identities > Roaming Computers.
- Click Settings and then select the AnyConnect Roaming Client tab.
- Enable Auto Update.
Change Summary for Umbrella Module
macOS Only
- Prefer Enterprise Connect over legacy Active Directory-based identity when both are present on the device
- Fixed issue causing occasional crashes on Big Sur (Defect ID: CSCvw44301)
Windows Only
- Fixed an issue in the new Active Directory user identity mechanism introduced in 4.9 MR3 to fix an issue where identity disappears on Windows 10 periodically. This also introduces support for devices using Azure AD—requires backend upgrade to AD Connector service. For more information, contact support.
- Fixed an issue that occasionally caused a delay in registration and a move to protected state.
Known Issues
- In some cases, the User Name field in the Advanced window for Roaming Security will appear blank, even though the User identity was detected and is being used for enforcement and reporting. There is no loss of functionality.
