For Linux To launch the CLI command prompt and issue commands on a Linux system, locate the file vpn in the folder /opt/cisco/vpn/bin/. Execute the file vpn. You can run the CLI in interactive mode, in which it provides its own prompt, or you can run it with the commands on the command line. The following table shows the CLI commands.
OpenConnect is a client for Cisco's AnyConnect SSL VPN and Pulse Secure's Pulse Connect Secure.
Installation
Install the openconnect package.
Usage
Jul 22, 2020 Cisco-supported Versions Some versions of Red Hat Linux and Ubuntu are compatible with the Cisco AnyConnect VPN client. See the AnyConnect 4.8 Release Notes for a detailed listing of which versions and features are supported. I am trying to use Cisco anyconnect 3.1 from Linux command line to connect to a server. I can connect, but I have to submit one parameter at a time. I would like to connect from a script that will run in another server. Vpn connect serveradd groupname username passwd.
See openconnect(8). Simply run openconnect as root and enter your username and password when prompted:
More advanced invocation with username and password. Input the password after running the command.
Often VPN providers are offering different authentication groups for different access configurations like for example for a full tunnel or split tunnel connection. To show the different offered auth-groups and to get more information about the connection to the server in general use:
Sometimes, connecting to a Cisco VPN, the CSD (Cisco Secure Desktop) mechanism is required (see: https://www.infradead.org/openconnect/csd.html). In that case using the '--csd-wrapper' parameter can help, the wrappers are stored under '/usr/lib/openconnect/'.
Juniper Pulse Client
In order to connect to a Pulse Connect Secure server you need to know the SHA-1 of its certificate.
Split routing
Split routing can be achieved using vpn-slice-gitAUR in place of vpnc-script, so that you can selectively access hosts over the VPN but otherwise remain on your own LAN. Example:
Integration
NetworkManager
Cisco Anyconnect Vpn Linux
Install the networkmanager-openconnect package, then restartNetworkManager.service.
Configure and connect with nm-applet (NetworkManager's icon tray utility from network-manager-applet) or similar utility.
See NetworkManager for details.
netctl
Cisco Anyconnect Linux Client
A simple tuntapnetctl.profile(5) can be used to integrate OpenConnect in the normal Netctl workflow. For example:
This allows execution like:

Note that this relies on LOCAL_USERNAME having a gpg-agent running, with the passphrase for the PGP key already cached.
If pass’ interactive query is wanted, use the following line for PASSWORD_CMD:
Adjust the DISPLAY variable as necessary.
