HOWTO: Basic Cisco ASA AnyConnect VPN 8.3+

This is a brief how-to style guide for configuring an AnyConnect remote access VPN on an ASA running version 8.3(1) or greater.  The example below uses split tunneling and local authentication.  RADIUS authentication will be covered in a future post. (update: see here)

Before beginning, verify you have the AnyConnect essentials license (without this license, only two simultaneous sessions are permitted).
