Using openconnect with OKTA for Cisco Anyconnect VPN on F30

[Ranjan Maitra]

Hi,

Our university recently went to using two-factor authentication for VPN connections. We
use Cisco's anyconnect. I went back to using the Cisco application which would open a
window and type in the password and the OKTA code. It worked all right, aside from the
fact that I had to chafe every time I thought of a closed-source application on my
otherwise OSS system.

After yesterday's F30 updates, the window opens but nothing happens in there (I get a
completely blank white screen). I wonder if anyone has a suggestion as to what I should be
looking at.

But more importantly, I was wondering how to make openconnect work with the OKTA 2FA. I
found information on something called GlobalProtect, but not much on AnyConnect, which is
strange because as per openconnect, it says that it is a "openconnect  -
Multi-protocol VPN client, for Cisco AnyConnect VPNs and others" or maybe I did not
look at the correct places.

Does anyone have any suggestions and/or experience with using OKTA with
anyconnect/openconnect and can help?

Many thanks and best wishes,
Ranjan
