Cisco Anyconnect VPN for mac Error when connecting - Failed to determine valid temporary folder

To fix this go to finder > Go > go to folder /private

Then right click on the tmp folder and select properties. You will need an admin password to do this. At the bottom elect sharing and permissions. Make sure all permissions are set to read and write.


Relaunch any connect you should now connect.

    chmod 4777 /private/tmp fixes it

    No, I think you want "chmod 1777 /private/tmp".

    The leading "4" sets the sticky bit for the file owner (not really what you want here). The leading "1" sets the world execute bit to "t", which means that anyone can add a file to that given directory, but only the file owner (or root) can delete it. (Commonly seen on /tmp and /var/spool/mail on UNIX systems.)

    You can check this by doing:
    ls -ld /private/tmp
    on a properly functioning Mac.
