OpenAnyconnect Cookie Tray (Uni Lincoln)

This simple extension is designed to work with the University of Lincoln's AnyConnect Portal of a Cisco VPN installation. All it does is extracting the VPN cookie from the portal to generate a command line for openconnect to be used on Linux or OSX. It's open source and available from https://github.com/marc-hanheide/openconnect_cookie_extractor to be customised also for other portals.

Usage

Simple!

1. Install the extension
   • from Chrome webstore
   • for now download .crx file from releases, enable developer mode in chrome://extensions/ and drag the downloaded .crx file into the window to install. If that fails, use setup for development for now.
2. navigate to https://remote.lincoln.ac.uk
3. log in (with MFA if needed)
4. click on the extension icon to display the command line for open connect with the secret auth cookies put already in place
5. go to the terminal and paste the command line
6. Enjoy VPN!
