Will this still work if I'm using the a pkcs url to a private key on a smart card?. I've tried snapshots of the upcoming release and recompiling the network manager-suite and openconnect plugins against the modern libraries and I've never noticed anything that would suggest the gui can pull a private key from a smartcard.

If you're using NetworkManager, everything should work using the standard UI for connecting VPNs. If you're not using NetworkManager, then you can still abuse its authentication dialog for OpenConnect, which is a separate program. You just have to feed it the right data on stdin for the network you want it to connect to, and parse its output. You could knock up a script which does that, and run it from an icon on the users' desktops. -- dwmw2
