About the Profile Editor
The Cisco Secure Client software package contains a profile editor for Windows. ASDM activates the profile editor when you load the Cisco Secure Client image on the Secure Firewall ASA. You can upload a client profile from local or flash.
If you load multiple Cisco Secure Client packages, ASDM activates the client profile editor from the newest Cisco Secure Client package. This approach ensures that the editor displays the features for the newest Cisco Secure Client loaded, as well as the older clients.
There is also a stand-alone profile editor which runs on Windows.

You must first upload a client image before creating a client profile. |
Profiles are deployed to administrator-defined end user requirements and authentication policies on endpoints as part of Cisco Secure Client, and they make the preconfigured network profiles available to end users. Use the profile editor to create and configure one or more profiles. Cisco Secure Client includes the profile editor as part of ASDM and as a stand-alone Windows program.
