Hello I would like to start openconnect client by remotely by ssh. This is my use case: * on gateway is correct openconnect configuration, root can start VPN and it is working * I want run script (by normal user through sudo) on developer server which should start vpn on gateway * vpn-start script on gateway should start only after connection with specific ssh private key ???(through command= directive in authorized_keys2) This works without problem for openvpn, vpnc, pptp VPNs. But there is something strange with openconnect.? I will try to explain where: * in script "customer-connect" on gateway is openconnect part: ----------- cat /etc/openconnect/${CUSTOMER}.pw | \ ???/usr/sbin/openconnect --config=/etc/openconnect/${CUSTOMER}.conf "$OPENCONNECT_HOST" ----------- in ${CUSTOMER}.conf is: ----------- interface=tun5015 user=user_customer authgroup=group_customer passwd-on-stdin quiet no-dtls no-cert-check background syslog pid-file=/var/run/openconnect/pid_customer ----------- * when I run script customer-connect directly on gateway: it starts VPN and script ends, I can run another bash commands * when I run script customer-connect from devel server directly through ssh: it starts VPN on gateway but script does not end,? ? it means I cannot run another bash commands until I press Ctrl-C than VPN is still working * when I put "customer-connect" to command= directive in file .ssh/authorized_keys2 on gateway: helper script connect through ssh with specific private key to gateway and run script from authorized_keys2,? it starts VPN on gateway but only for few seconds and than VPN is terminated ssh is disconnected and I can run another bash commands on devel server Can you explain me, why it works this way. I suppose it is bug, but I dont know where. Pavel Lisy --? Pavel Lis? <pavel.lisy at gmail.com>
