## Cisco AnyConnect: auto login in silent mode via command line

This gist is for Linux. For windows is similar.

### Connect

create a file `.login_info` as below:

	connect your.server.url
	usernanme
	password
        (blank line)

create a script as below

    /opt/cisco/anyconnect/bin/vpn -s < .login_info

### Trouble shooting

The input (content of `.login_info`) may vary according to your settings.  Try VPN shell to determine your inputs.

Run
`/opt/cisco/anyconnect/bin/vpn -s`

Now you are in command shell:
`VPN>`

Connect your server:
`VPN> connect your.vpn.server`

Input what asked, for me it's below:
`Username: [xxxxx] xxxxx`
`Password: xxxxxx`

Exit from VPN shell:
`VPN> exit (or return) `

Remember what you typed, and save them into the `.login_info` file.


### Disconnect
With this approach, the icon will not show in the taskbar, you need run command line `vpn disconnect` to disconnect.
