Following instruction works for Ubuntu 22.04
  • Install openconnect version 8.x (there are some problems with 9.x)
# Check openconnect version
apt policy openconnect
# Install if version matches requirements
sudo apt-get install -y openconnect
  • Create bin directory in your home dir
mkdir ~/bin
  • Add newly created dir to PATH variable
case "$SHELL" in
  "zsh") DOTFILE="~/.zshrc" ;;
  "bash") DOTFILE="~/.bashrc" ;;
  "ksh") DOTFILE="~/.kshrc" ;;
esac
echo 'export PATH="$PATH:~/bin"' >> $DOTFILE
source $DOTFILE
  • Install required packages
sudo apt-get install python3-pip
pip3 install https://github.com/dlenski/gp-saml-gui/archive/master.zip
  • Create script in ~/bin/vpn-uwr with following content
#!/bin/bash -xv
eval $( gp-saml-gui --gateway vpn.uwr.edu.pl --clientos=Windows --allow-insecure-crypto )
echo "$COOKIE" | sudo openconnect --protocol=gp -u "$USER" --os="$OS" --passwd-on-stdin "$HOST" &
