About
This document will cover everything you need to know to begin working with Cisco AnyConnect Start Before Login (SBL).
Getting Started
What is Cisco AnyConnect Start Before Login?
Cisco AnyConnect Start Before Login (SBL) is an additional module for the AnyConnect VPN client. It will allow users to connect to Cisco AnyConnect prior to logging into their system.
This would allow the user, for example, to connect to the campus network and login to a device where they need to be able to connect to Active Directory and their creditentals are not cached already on the computer.
How you get the Start Before Login module?
Installation
The module is available as a global application in Configuration Manager, named ISU Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client with SBL. Upon deployment, it will also install AnyConnect if it is not present on the computer.
