Translating Languages for AnyConnect User Messages

Enabling Start Before Logon

Start Before Logon (SBL) allows login scripts, password caching, drive mapping, and more, for the
AnyConnect client installed on a Windows PC. For SBL, you must enable the security appliance to
download the SBL module, and you must edit the client profile. The following procedure shows how to
enable SBL:
Enable the security appliance to download the SBL module to specific groups or users using the svc
Step 1
modules command from group policy webvpn or username webvpn configuration modes.
In the following example, the user enters group-policy attributes mode for the group policy
telecommuters, enters webvpn configuration mode for the group policy, and specifies the string sbl to
enable SBL:
hostname(config)# group-policy telecommuters attributes
hostname(config-group-policy)# webvpn
hostame(config-group-webvpn)# svc modules value sbl
Retrieve a copy of the client profiles file (AnyConnectProfile.tmpl). For information on the location of
