Location of Cisco VPN client profile configuration file (.pcf file) on Mac OS X

What is the default location of Cisco VPN client profiles? I need those .pcf files since my old Cisco VPN client doesn't work after upgrading to Mac OS X Leopard (version 10.5), and I don't remember my VPN settings.

1Google brought me here when searching for the location in Windows 7. It is C:\ProgramData\Cisco\Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client\Profile. – Abdull – 2016-04-10T14:24:07.317

Is the old Mac using the Cisco provided client? – bahamat – 2011-01-29T17:11:08.980

If I remember it right, they should be located in /etc/CiscoSystemsVPNClient/Profiles/ (you can open this folder from Finder´s Go To -> Go to Folder menu)

If, like me, you arrived here looking for the Cisco AnyConnect profile location, I found my config information at

/opt/cisco/anyconnect

for anyconnect 4 the profile files are XML – kavehmb – 2016-03-16T01:06:53.757

Open a terminal and search for it (go ahead to the next line if the previous one doesn't find anything):

find ./Library -name '*.pcf'
find . -name '*.pcf'
find / -name '*.pcf'

If you don't find anything, check the Library folder inside your home directory. I think the Cisco client might import the settings and store it in some other format (or at least in another file) inside the Library or Library/Preferences folder.
