Configuring Connection Profiles
This section describes the contents and configuration of connection profiles in both single context mode
or multiple-context mode:
Note Multiple-context mode applies only to IKEv2 and IKEv1 site to site and does not apply to AnyConnect,
Clientless SSL VPN, legacy Cisco VPN client, the Apple native VPN client, the Microsoft native VPN
client, or cTCP for IKEv1 IPsec.

You can modify the default connection profiles, and you can configure a new connection profile as any
of the three tunnel-group types. If you do not explicitly configure an attribute in a connection profile,
that attribute gets its value from the default connection profile. The default connection-profile type is
remote access. The subsequent parameters depend upon your choice of tunnel type. To see the current
configured and default configuration of all your connection profiles, including the default connection
profile, enter the show running-config all tunnel-group command.
Maximum Connection Profiles
The maximum number of connection profiles (tunnel groups) that an ASA can support is a function of
the maximum number of concurrent VPN sessions for the platform + 5. For example, an ASA 5505 can
support a maximum of 25 concurrent VPN sessions allowing for 30 tunnel groups (25+5). Attempting
to add an additional tunnel group beyond the limit results in the following message: “ERROR: The limit
of 30 configured tunnel groups has been reached.”
Table 70-2 specifies the maximum VPN sessions and connection profiles for each ASA platform.
override-svc-download Overrides downloading the group-policy or username attributes
configured for downloading the AnyConnect VPN client to the remote
user.
radius-reject-message Enables the display of the RADIUS reject message on the login screen
when authentication is rejected.
