If anyone else has to use the loathsome "SecureMatrix image password pattern" to connect to a Juniper VPN, try this script: https://github.com/dlenski/smxlogin It will do an end-run around the Java/ActiveX widget and allow you to automate the process by inputting the pattern in chessboard coordinates: $ smxlogin -v -p a1b3c4d2e1f2g3h2 -u USERNAME https://stupid-url.blah.com/junk Matrix: 0145 3784 2553 8852 9313 8958 0866 9088 4538 2857 1041 5986 => Assembled password: 08523383 COOKIE='DSFirstAccess=1516762274; DSID=deadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeef' HOST='other-server.blah.com' -Dan
