Unfortunately i have to use Cisco Anyconnect. This is my boss’s requirement.

NetworkManager can handle Anyconnect vpn connections…

I run Cisco Secure Client 5 on Fedora 39 without issue. It’s basically the new version of AnyConnect. Works with VPNs I ran AnyConnect with.

I noticed that the vpnagentd was not loaded. However, after launching it, anyconnect still did not connect with the following error in logs :

A simple solution helped - reinstallation of Cisco Anyconnect.

Actually you do not need to install anything. Fedora out of the box has capability to create the VPN connection for Cisco Anyconnect VPN. See tutorial here: AnyConnect Setup Guide for Fedora Linux | PrivateVPN Help Center
