Anyconnect ASA 5520 Error : Login denied, unauthorized connection mechanism, contact your administrator.

Hi,

I just configured Anyconnect on my firewall and I am getting a error that has me stumped for last 2 days. I am running 8.2.5 version on my ASA 5520. I am getting the following error when I try to connect to the ASA SSL vpn from the web browser :

"Login denied, unauthorized connection mechanism, contact your administrator."

and getting following error if I try to connect to the asa from a previously installed anyconnect client :

"Anyconnect not enabled on the device"

Getting the following error with "Debug webvpn sessions" :

webvpn_create_session: 0x00036000 (54)

webvpn_destroy_session: 0x00036000 (54) -> Client type not supported

webvpn_destroy_session: SESS_Mgmt_FreeSession(0x00036000) (54)

webvpn_session_free: 0x00036000 (54)

My WebVpn configuration is correct ( mentioned below ) and I am still using the 2 trial license that comes default with the ASA.

Configuration :

asa5520# sh run webvpn

webvpn

enable Backup

enable Outside

svc image disk0:/anyconnect-macosx-i386-3.1.05152-k9.pkg 1

IF it matters , the anyconnect was working fine during testing but when we added new group policies , it started giving this error. I have also rebooted the firewall just in case but still getting the same error.

Please if anyone had seen this issue before , it would be helpful to guide me in right direction.

Thank you

This is resolved, The issue was with the Windows IAS server configuration. After redoing the radius configuration in the server , anyconnect started to work properly.

Thanks
