Does AnyConnect require Java and permissions?

A. The AnyConnect VPN Client requires either ActiveX or Java to use the web-based connection/install. For ActiveX, the user needs to have permission to install into their web browser (or it can be pre-installed). If ActiveX is not supported or used, Java is attempted. The version can be 1.4.x or 1.5. The Java implementation is an applet and is browser-based (no download). On the first connection, the ActiveX/Java is used to install the AnyConnect VPN Client software. This initial connection requires admin rights. Subsequent connections do not require admin rights (even for client upgrades). The client has a standalone installer for cases where admin privileges are not granted to the user.
