This script is based on the experimental Juniper support from OpenConnect.
It's a simple script that uses Zenity to prompt the user for credentials and provide feedback, gksu to obtain root, and openconnect to make the connection.
The script was based on instructions at http://x123.net/junos-pulse-ubuntu-openconnect.html and was developed/tested on Ubuntu 14.04 with a Linux 4.2 kernel (compiled for driver support)
Linux MyBox 4.2.0-13-generic #15 SMP Wed Sep 30 21:41:44 EDT 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
The following packages must be installed in Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install gksu zenity libssl-dev libxml2-dev vpnc-scripts
OpenConnect must be compiled from source for the experimental Juniper support:
wget ftp://ftp.infradead.org/pub/openconnect/openconnect-7.06.tar.gz
tar xzf openconnect-7.06.tar.gz
cd openconnect-7.06
./configure --with-vpnc-script=/usr/share/vpnc-scripts/vpnc-script
make
sudo make install
Finally, simply place this script somewhere and chmod +x it. Then you'll
want to edit the script and change the VPN_URL variable at the top. Once
it's there, you can use ./juniper-vpn-connect.sh start to start it and
./juniper-vpn-connect.sh stop to stop it.
Ideally, create a .desktop entry
for this. http://askubuntu.com/questions/436891/create-a-desktop-file-that-opens-and-execute-a-command-in-a-terminal
has some information on how to create these files though while the question
asks how to run the script in a terminal, it's probably not necessary
(or likely desirable) to do so for this script, there isn't much output.
An example might be:
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Name=VPN Conection
Comment=Connect to the VPN
Exec=/home/${user}/juniper-pulse-secure-script/juniper-vpn-connect.sh start
Icon=network-vpn
Terminal=true
Type=Application
Categories=Internet;
Place this file into ~/.local/share/applications/SSL VPN.desktop. Note that you'll
probably need to create another icon to stop the VPN. That'll be fixed later.
Note: A good bit of output is sent to syslog.
