Defect Information

Defect IDHeadline
CSCvq59308MAC 10.15 : Hostscan 4.8 is failing with error ' Posture Assessment Failed '
CSCvq1181332 bit hostscan causes 'This application is not optimized for your Mac ' error with anyconnect 4.7

Problem Description

When used with macOS Catalina 10.15.x, VPN connections will not be established with some versions of Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client and some versions of the HostScan package.

Background

HostScan provides the AnyConnect Client the ability to identify the operating system, anti-virus, anti-spyware, and firewall software installed on the host.

In macOS Catalina 10.15.x and later, the operating system will no longer support execution of 32-bit binaries, which are included in HostScan packages 4.3.x and earlier. As a result, AnyConnect Client end-users who attempt to connect from macOS Catalina to a Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) head-end that runs HostScan package 4.3.x and earlier will not be able to successfully establish VPN connections. Cisco AnyConnect 4.8.00175 is the first version that officially supports operation on macOS Catalina and contains no 32-bit code.

Workaround/Solution

Solution

Posture Assessment Failed Unable To Download Csd Library Mac Catalina Bay

For macOS Catalina 10.15.x users to successfully establish VPN connections using AnyConnect Client with HostScan, these three steps must be performed:

  1. HostScan package on the ASA head-end must be migrated to HostScan 4.8.00175 or later.
  2. If you migrate from HostScan 4.3.x to 4.8.00175 or later, the Dynamic Access Policy (DAP) policies must be updated to the new DAP policy definitions introduced in 4.6.x. For additional information, refer to the AnyConnect HostScan Migration 4.3.x to 4.6.x and Later document.
  3. AnyConnect Client must be upgraded to 4.8.x or later.

Workaround

If an upgrade to HostScan package 4.8.00175 or later is not an option, administrators of systems with HostScan package 4.3.x and earlier can disable HostScan on their ASA head-end in order to restore VPN connectivity. If disabled, all HostScan posture functionality and dynamic access policies (DAPs) that depend on endpoint information will be unavailable.
