Connect CISCO Anyconnect VPN via bash

Question

As title says, trying to connect vpn via bash. The following script seemed closest to the answer I\'m looking for:

#!/bin/bash
/opt/cisco/anyconnect/bin/vpn          


        

Answer 1

Building on Brayden Hancock's answer, I built a solution that reads the password from the macOS Keychain. As a first step, I added a new password item with the account field set to mycompany-vpn via the Keychain Access app. The first part of the script reads that item back from the keychain and extracts the password using the ruby snippet, the expect script section does the rest.

#!/usr/bin/env bash
get_pw () {
    security 2>&1 >/dev/null find-generic-password -ga mycompany-vpn \
    |ruby -e 'print $1 if STDIN.gets =~ /^password: "(.*)"$/'
}

USER=username
ADDR=vpn.company.com
PASSWORD=$(get_pw)

/usr/bin/expect -f - <
