Support for Open Connect

OpenConnect is a cross-platform multi-protocol SSL VPN client which supports a number of VPN protocols. nmConnect currently supports automating connections for the following protocols:

  • Cisco AnyConnect
  • Palo Alto Global Protect

To use nmConnect to automatically run OpenConnect, you'll need to make sure OpenConnect is installed and in your executable PATH variable.

The easiest method of installation is to use Homebrew.

Once installed, you can add a device to your database using Open Connect as your platform and select the protocol using the Connect Method field.

Note: Open Connect requires sudo access to create the VPN. nmConnect will request the sudo password to pass on to OpenConnect during the login process.
