See openconnect (8). Simply run openconnect as root and enter your username and password when prompted: # openconnect vpnserver. More advanced invocation with username and password. Input the password after running the command. # openconnect -u user -passwd-on-stdin vpnserver. Often VPN providers are offering different authentication. As per @RunasSudo's instructions, you need to download anyconnect-linux64-$pkgver-core-vpn-webdeploy-k9.sh. Using your AUR client, clone the anyconnect-client package in a manner such that it prompts you to edit the PKGBUILD file. I used pacaur, so the command for me was pacaur -Sde anyconnect-client.
- Hi all, I'm trying to install the Any Connect client (v.4.4.01054) on Arch Linux, which by default does not have the SysV folders. The script I'm using is 'anyconnect-linux64-4.4.01054-core-vpn-webdeploy-k9.sh', however it fails with: Extracting.
- Viewed 7k times. I have been having some problems with openconnect in my Arch Linux (Antergos to be precise) and I have no idea what's causing it. (Although I'm used to linux and all, I'm very new to VPNs and openconnect.) I'm trying to connect to my University's VPN via 2 methods.

As the comment in the PKGBUILD says (you've read it, right? ;) ), Cisco does not provide public downloads for this, so you have to obtain the installer yourself either through your own Cisco account or through your company's.

I have an issue where I just get a blank black screen from this program (window named Cisco Anyconnect secure mobility client). Starting vpnui from the terminal shows the following messages:
Gtk-Message: 15:08:22.556: Failed to load module 'colorreload-gtk-module'Gtk-Message: 15:08:22.556: Failed to load module 'window-decorations-gtk-module'
Anyone else having a similar issue? Any missing dependencies?

Wow, this is pretty old. The initial commit for 4.7 might be a good starting point, then you'll just have to figure out if any of the files have changed...

Hi, I'm trying to run AnyConnect with a v4.6 installer provided by my employer. It doesn't seem that there are any old versions of this package compatible with this version of the installer, but thought I'd double-check anyway. Also wondering if there's any other way to get my installer working with this package or if it's a lost cause?

FYI, if you're getting segfaults in libcsd.so, this is probably because you're trying to connect to a gateway running 4.8 with a 4.9 client. Make sure your client version matches the gateway!

You were right! The command was 'sudo systemctl enable vpnagentd.service'.Thanks a lot!
chrisjbillington commented on 2020-11-05 13:55
I'm not at my computer so can't look up what the systemd service is called. But if you run pacman -Ql cisco-anyconnect you should see a .service file among the files installed.
Run
systemctl enable --now name-of-service-file.service
To enable and start the daemon

@chrisjbillington: I don't think so... how should I do that? I downloaded and extracted the package, added the cisco installer file and ran makepkg -si from within the directory. Then tried to launch Cisco Anyconnect.

@carsten87 I think that's what happens when you aren't running the daemon. Have you enabled the systemd service?

Arch Connect Servicing
Thanks for the instant response! Was able to install using your link. But the program will only show an empty window that disappears after about 20s without an error message. Any ideas?
