Hello guys, I finally found a working solution. I'm using Anyconnect VPN secure mobility 4.8
We can use this to connect to Anyconnect with terminal
To connect:
printf 'USERNAME\nPASSWORD\ny' | /opt/cisco/anyconnect/bin/vpn -s connect HOST
Replace USERNAME, PASSWORD, and HOST. The \ny at the end is to accept the login banner - this is specific to my host.
Note the single quotes ' instead of double quotes " - this is because double quotes tell Bash to interpret certain characters within strings, such as exclamation marks, as Bash history commands. Double quotes will make this command fail with an "event not found" error if the password contains an exclamation mark. Single-quoted strings pass exclamation marks along without interpreting them.
To disconnect:
/opt/cisco/anyconnect/bin/vpn disconnect
I've made an alias to bash_profile to those commands
I use zsh so what @shivam13juna was close but not what I needed: I used
export CISCO_USERNAME="..."
export CISCO_PASSWORD="..."
vpn() {
# Any connect can't be running (and doesn't have to be)
kill $(pidof anyconnect) >/dev/null 2>&1
echo "$CISCO_USERNAME\n$CISCO_PASSWORD\ny" | /opt/cisco/anyconnect/bin/vpn -s connect vpn.host.com
}
Do note that anyconnect can't be running if this is
Inspired by this thread I made shell script to toggle connection and BetterTouchTool Widget to show connection status and toggle connection on click.
Link to repo: https://github.com/augustplaninsek/vpn-cisco-anyconnect
I couldn't get the banner part to work, but this works at least:
tell application "System Events"
click button "Accept" of window "Cisco AnyConnect - Banner" of application process "Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client"
end tell
Since i updated Cisco Anyconnect two days ago, it seemed like a major update, this has stopped working. It is not called "Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client" any longer, it shows it as "Cisco Secure Client " now and the icon changed too. But this was working for me up until my company made me update this software. I think it was mandatory by Cisco. See screenshot of the new VPN icon/dialog box.
I tried renaming wherever "Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client" was set to "Cisco Secure Client " but in the Script Editor it says UI Disabled when i hit the play button...
Can someone help me out here?
This worked great because i have the password enetered automatically, and then i just click the Yubi key for the 2nd one... now i have to find the first password everyday now, and i had this working for 3 years now... So i hope this can be fixed easily.
Here are the screenshots of the new look of the app and the new app name, which is in version 5.0.00556 of their VPN app:
Thanks in advance!

Unlike the other suggested scripts, this one works for me. Thank you very much. Working from home during COVID-19 got a tiny bit easier.
