What's new in VPN Tracker?
Single Sign-On (SSO) for Cisco AnyConnect SSL
This update introduces SSO support for Cisco AnyConnect SSL VPN connections. This includes support for both regular and web-based single-sign-on flows: log in to Cisco AnyConnect connections via the web using the company credentials for your Identity Provider (e.g. Microsoft Azure.)
