Connect to a Cisco VPN under Linux, without requiring user interaction.
I wrote this script because I was tired of having to restart the driver and enter my password every time I wanted to connect to the VPN. Eventually this should become a GUI application with a Connect and a Disconnect button.
You need to create a configuration file in ~/.cisco_params, with the following contents:
group_name = 'mycompany' group_passwd = 'company_password' user_name = 'myuser' user_passwd = 'user_password'
Note: in case you didn't get it, this defeats the entire purpose of using a password, trading off security for convenience. If you don't know what this entails, don't use this script.
