CA Root Certificate is missing error

 

After the installation of the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility 3.1, upon the execution of the client the below error pops up.

Unable to validate Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility components. CA Root Certificate is missing.

AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client must verify that all loaded components have been certified by Cisco. Your system does not have the latest root certificates from Verisign, which are required to validate the authenticity of the software. Please download VeriSign Class 3 Public Primary Certification Authority - G5 from http://www.verisign.com/support/roots.html or contact your administrator.

We need to manually install a VeriSign Certification Authority into Windows. The "Root 3 / VeriSign Class 3 Primary CA - G5" to be exact.

1. Go to the Verisign certificate page. [LINK]
2. Find the section named "Root 3 / VeriSign Class 3 Primary CA - G5".
   At the end of that section, find the link for Download Root Now and right-click it and save the file to your Desktop or Download folder.

1. Find the downloaded file, and rename it from "PCA-3G5.pem" to "PCA-3G5.crt" (change the filename extension to .crt).
2. Double-click the PCA-3G5 file.
3. Result: The Certificate information window should open.
   Press the Install Certificate button. A Certificate Import Wizard will open. You can click Next or Finish to go through the Import Wizard.

Installing Microsoft Windows virtual host for labbing purpose

 

For our labbing purpose, we might need a virtual host which is running Microsoft Window operating system. We can download and use the evaluation version which can run for 90-days. The current version shown at TechNet Evaluation Center is Windows 8.1, but if you prefer to use Windows 7, just scroll to the bottle and you see the "Previous Version" which will show you links to Windows 7 Enterprise Evaluation.
