Release Notes for the Cisco ASA 5500 Series, Version 8.2(x)
OL-18971-02
Limitations and Restrictions
• Connection Profile/Tunnel Group terminology in CLI vs. ASDM—The adaptive security appliance
tunnel groups define the initial connection parameters and attributes (such as AAA, client address
assignment, and connection alias/group-url) for a remote access VPN session. In the CLI, they are
referred to as tunnel groups, whereas in ASDM they are referred to as Connection Profiles. A VPN
policy is an aggregation of Connection Profile, Group Policy, and Dynamic Access Policy
authorization attributes.
Limitations and Restrictions
• Stateful Failover with Phone Proxy—When using Stateful Failover with phone proxy, information
is not passed to the standby unit; when the active unit goes down, the call fails, media stops flowing,
and the call must be re-established.
• No .NET over Clientless sessions—Clientless sessions do not support .NET framework applications
(CSCsv29942).
• The adaptive security appliance does not support phone proxy and CIPC for remote access.
• The AIP SSC does not support custom signatures.

and finally from Version 7.2 to Version 8.2 (8.1 was only available on the ASA 5580).
