NOTE: Before proceeding, if you already have NAM installed, uninstall it first and follow prompts to reboot your system. Here's what I did to create my own NAM profile and deploy it onto my lab laptop: Steps The default profile wasn't working for me on my lab laptop because I needed to remove the Wired interface so I could access the machine over RDP and still connect to wireless networks for testing and demonstrations. The result is a clean, well-designed and intuitive interface with intentionally and appropriately scoped options, and one that should be easy for most administrators and helpdesk technitians to support. This isn't a big deal, and the benefit to this is that it makes it difficult for end-users to tamper with or accidentally remove installed profiles because there is no in-application way to switch profiles.
Each time you want to update a profile, you need to essentially re-install the client or redeploy the package through enterprise software distribution methods.
The first thing to realize is that profiles are deployed at An圜onnect Client install time. The degree of restriction an administrator applies with the configured profile is a matter of organizational policy or administrative preference, but the default is a wide open policy. The profile determines the degree of control the end-user has over their network configurations, which authentication and encryption types they can use, if there are required (non-removable) networks in the list, the order of preferred networks, if they can add their own networks, etc. XML profiles* instead of using the default profile included with a bare-bones An圜onnect NAM install.
What's not as easy (at least it wasn't for me) is figuring out how to create and deploy pre-configured. Installing the An圜onnect client with the Network Access Manager module is relatively painless. For a wireless administrator who wants to have a ubiquitous supplicant and end-user interface experience on a range of Windows client machines (XP, Vista, 7), this little connection management utility fits in nicely. This module is called the Network Access Manager. The An圜onnect Secure Mobility Client 3.0 has a nice module for managing wireless (and wired) networks in Windows.
Use the Cisco An圜onnect Network Access Manager Profile Editor to build custom profiles for the An圜onnect Secure Mobility Client. Click OK, and you are connected.An圜onnect Secure Mobility Client 3.0: Network Access Manager & Profile Editor on Windows Summary Next, login using your Truman username and password.For off campus access to the Truman network, enter “”. Once the application opens, you will need to specify the secure network to connect to.(You can also “Right-click” to choose from several options, including “Pin to taskbar”.)
Once the installation completes, access the Cisco An圜onnect Secure Mobility Client by returning to the “Start” screen, and scrolling to right until you see the Cisco An圜onnect tile.
