The connection happens in two phases. First there is a simple HTTPS connection over which the user authenticates somehow \- by using a certificate, or password or SecurID, etc. Having authenticated, the user is rewarded with an HTTP cookie which can be used to make the real VPN connection. The second phase uses that cookie in an HTTPS .I CONNECT request, and data packets can be passed over the resulting connection. In auxiliary headers exchanged with the .I CONNECT request, a Session\-ID and Master Secret for a DTLS connection are also exchanged, which allows data transport over UDP to occur. .SH OPTIONS .TP .B \-\-config=CONFIGFILE Read further options from .I CONFIGFILE before continuing to process options from the command line. The file should contain long-format options as would be accepted on the command line, but without the two leading \-\- dashes. Empty lines, or lines where the first non-space character is a # character, are ignored. Any option except the .B config option may be specified in the file. .TP .B \-b,\-\-background Continue in background after startup .TP .B \-\-pid\-file=PIDFILE Save the pid to .I PIDFILE when backgrounding .TP .B \-c,\-\-certificate=CERT Use SSL client certificate .I CERT which may be either a file name or, if OpenConnect has been built with an appropriate version of GnuTLS, a PKCS#11 URL. .TP .B \-e,\-\-cert\-expire\-warning=DAYS Give a warning when SSL client certificate has .I DAYS left before expiry .TP .B \-k,\-\-sslkey=KEY Use SSL private key .I KEY which may be either a file name or, if OpenConnect has been built with an appropriate version of GnuTLS, a PKCS#11 URL. .TP .B \-C,\-\-cookie=COOKIE Use WebVPN cookie .I COOKIE .TP .B \-\-cookie\-on\-stdin Read cookie from standard input .TP .B \-d,\-\-deflate Enable compression (default) .TP .B \-D,\-\-no\-deflate Disable compression .TP .B \-\-force\-dpd=INTERVAL Use .I INTERVAL as minimum Dead Peer Detection interval for CSTP and DTLS, forcing use of DPD even when the server doesn't request it. .TP .B \-g,\-\-usergroup=GROUP Use .I GROUP as login UserGroup .TP .B \-h,\-\-help Display help text .TP .B \-i,\-\-interface=IFNAME Use .I IFNAME for tunnel interface .TP .B \-l,\-\-syslog Use syslog for progress messages .TP .B \-U,\-\-setuid=USER Drop privileges after connecting, to become user .I USER .TP .B \-\-csd\-user=USER Drop privileges during CSD (Cisco Secure Desktop) script execution. .TP .B \-\-csd\-wrapper=SCRIPT Run .I SCRIPT instead of the CSD (Cisco Secure Desktop) script. .TP .B \-m,\-\-mtu=MTU Request .I MTU from server as the MTU of the tunnel. .TP .B \-\-basemtu=MTU Indicate .I MTU as the path MTU between client and server on the unencrypted network. Newer servers will automatically calculate the MTU to be used on the tunnel from this value. .TP .B \-p,\-\-key\-password=PASS Provide passphrase for certificate file, or SRK (System Root Key) PIN for TPM .TP .B \-P,\-\-proxy=PROXYURL Use HTTP or SOCKS proxy for connection .TP .B \-\-no\-proxy Disable use of proxy .TP .B \-\-libproxy Use libproxy to configure proxy automatically (when built with libproxy support) .TP .B \-\-key\-password\-from\-fsid Passphrase for certificate file is automatically generated from the .I fsid of the file system on which it is stored. The .I fsid is obtained from the .BR statvfs (2) or .BR statfs (2) system call, depending on the operating system. On a Linux or similar system with GNU coreutils, the .I fsid used by this option should be equal to the output of the command: .EX stat \-\-file\-system \-\-printf=%i\e\en $CERTIFICATE .EE It is not the same as the 128\-bit UUID of the file system. .TP .B \-q,\-\-quiet Less output .TP .B \-Q,\-\-queue\-len=LEN Set packet queue limit to .I LEN pkts .TP .B \-s,\-\-script=SCRIPT Invoke .I SCRIPT to configure the network after connection. Without this, routing and name service are unlikely to work correctly. The script is expected to be compatible with the .B vpnc\-script which is shipped with the "vpnc" VPN client. See .I http://www.infradead.org/openconnect/vpnc-script.html for more information. This version of OpenConnect is configured to use .B @DEFAULT_VPNCSCRIPT@ by default. .TP .B \-S,\-\-script\-tun Pass traffic to 'script' program over a UNIX socket, instead of to a kernel tun/tap device. This allows the VPN IP traffic to be handled entirely in userspace, for example by a program which uses lwIP to provide SOCKS access into the VPN. .TP .B \-u,\-\-user=NAME Set login username to .I NAME .TP .B \-V,\-\-version Report version number .TP .B \-v,\-\-verbose More output .TP .B \-x,\-\-xmlconfig=CONFIG XML config file .TP .B \-\-authgroup=GROUP Choose authentication login selection .TP .B \-\-authenticate Authenticate only, and output the information needed to make the connection a form which can be used to set shell environment variables. When invoked with this option, openconnect will not make the connection, but if successful will output something like the following to stdout: .nf .B COOKIE=3311180634@13561856@1339425499@B315A0E29D16C6FD92EE... .B HOST=10.0.0.1 .B FINGERPRINT=469bb424ec8835944d30bc77c77e8fc1d8e23a42 .fi Thus, you can invoke openconnect as a non-privileged user .I (with access to the user's PKCS#11 tokens, etc.) for authentication, and then invoke openconnect separately to make the actual connection as root: .nf .B eval `openconnect --authenticate https://vpnserver.example.com`; .B [ -n "$COOKIE" ] && echo "$COOKIE" | .B \ \ sudo openconnect --cookie-on-stdin $HOST --servercert $FINGERPRINT .fi .TP .B \-\-cookieonly Fetch webvpn cookie only; don't connect .TP .B \-\-printcookie Print webvpn cookie before connecting .TP .B \-\-cafile=FILE Cert file for server verification .TP .B \-\-disable\-ipv6 Do not advertise IPv6 capability to server .TP .B \-\-dtls\-ciphers=LIST Set OpenSSL ciphers to support for DTLS .TP .B \-\-no\-cert\-check Do not require server SSL certificate to be valid. Checks will still happen and failures will cause a warning message, but the connection will continue anyway. You should not need to use this option \- if your servers have SSL certificates which are not signed by a trusted Certificate Authority, you can still add them (or your private CA) to a local file and use that file with the .B \-\-cafile option. .TP .B \-\-no\-dtls Disable DTLS .TP .B \-\-no\-http\-keepalive Version 8.2.2.5 of the Cisco ASA software has a bug where it will forget the client's SSL certificate when HTTP connections are being re\-used for multiple requests. So far, this has only been seen on the initial connection, where the server gives an HTTP/1.0 redirect response with an explicit .B Connection: Keep\-Alive directive. OpenConnect as of v2.22 has an unconditional workaround for this, which is never to obey that directive after an HTTP/1.0 response. However, Cisco's support team has failed to give any competent response to the bug report and we don't know under what other circumstances their bug might manifest itself. So this option exists to disable ALL re\-use of HTTP sessions and cause a new connection to be made for each request. If your server seems not to be recognising your certificate, try this option. If it makes a difference, please report this information to the .B openconnect\-devel@lists.infradead.org mailing list. .TP .B \-\-no\-passwd Never attempt password (or SecurID) authentication. .TP .B \-\-non\-inter Do not expect user input; exit if it is required. .TP .B \-\-passwd\-on\-stdin Read password from standard input .TP .B \-\-stoken[=\fItoken-string\fP] Use libstoken to generate one-time passwords compatible with the RSA SecurID system (when built with libstoken support). If \fItoken-string\fP is omitted, libstoken will try to use the software token seed stored in \fI~/.stokenrc\fP, if this file exists. .TP .B \-\-reconnect\-timeout Keep reconnect attempts until so much seconds are elapsed. The default timeout is 300 seconds, which means that openconnect can recover VPN connection after a temporary network down time of 300 seconds. .TP .B \-\-servercert=SHA1 Accept server's SSL certificate only if its fingerprint matches .IR SHA1 . .TP .B \-\-useragent=STRING Use .I STRING as 'User\-Agent:' field value in HTTP header. (e.g. \-\-useragent 'Cisco AnyConnect VPN Agent for Windows 2.2.0133') .TP .B \-\-os=STRING OS type to report to gateway. Recognized values are: linux, linux-64, mac, win. Reporting a different OS type may affect the security policy applied to the VPN session. .TP .B \-\-dtls\-local\-port=PORT Use .I PORT as the local port for DTLS datagrams .SH LIMITATIONS Note that although IPv6 has been tested on all platforms on which .B openconnect is known to run, it depends on a suitable .B vpnc\-script to configure the network. The standard .B vpnc\-script shipped with vpnc 0.5.3 is not capable of setting up IPv6 routes; the one from .B git://git.infradead.org/users/dwmw2/vpnc\-scripts.git will be required. .SH AUTHORS David Woodhouse
