Unfortunately, I don’t have access to a version newer than 4.10.06079 yet. If there is someone who can help with the update package — please let me know — I’ll add to the co-maintainers.

As the comment in the PKGBUILD says (you’ve read it, right? 😉 ), Cisco does not provide public downloads for this, so you have to obtain the installer yourself either through your own Cisco account or through your company’s.

Please don’t flag the package as out of date if there is no actual new version. The package will not build with your favorite AUR helper, and it will not download the files from Cisco for you. You need to obtain the source package in some way and put it next to the PKGBUILD.

K900 commented on 2020-03-06 14:35 (UTC)

The file:// thing is an unfortunate side effect of how AUR parses packages — I don’t think there’s a way to refer to a file that does not exist in the package source just by name.

@indianahorst: you need to obtain the file yourself and put it in the same directory as the PKGBUILD. Cisco doesn’t provide direct download links.

@Xihu0208: what «app» are you opening exactly? vpnui? Is vpnagentd running?

Xihu0208 commented on 2020-03-06 14:32 (UTC) (edited on 2020-03-06 14:47 (UTC) by Xihu0208)

Don’t forget to call systemctl enable —now vpnagentd after build.

indianahorst commented on 2020-03-02 00:37 (UTC)

I already changed «file://$» to «$» in the PKGBUILD, but I still get this:

==> Retrieving sources. ==> ERROR: anyconnect-linux64-4.8.02042-core-vpn-webdeploy-k9.sh was not found in the build directory and is not a URL. :: Unable to build cisco-anyconnect — makepkg exited with code: 1

I had the same issue as @notizblock when I’ve recently needed to use a tarball instead of the script (needed to remove file:// from the source array).

K900 commented on 2020-01-27 09:47 (UTC)

Finally got my hands on all kinds of installers for 4.8.01090, including the new .pkg redistributable format that you get directly from cisco.com. The PKGBUILD is updated now, and a third new install method is supported.

notizblock commented on 2020-01-15 20:06 (UTC)

At least for the tarball version, I had to replace «file://$» with «$» in the source array. Otherwise the tarball is not extracted by makepkg.

Kage-Yami commented on 2020-01-09 09:38 (UTC)

Would it be worth splitting this out into two packages? One for the installer, one for the tarball? That would at least allow you to update the PKGBUILD for just the installer (based on what I linked previously).

K900 commented on 2020-01-09 09:20 (UTC)

I still haven’t managed to get my hands on a known-clean download of 4.8, so the update will take a bit longer 🙁

Thanks for your work! Is there any way to get an older version of this package, namely for Cisco installer version 4.7.00136? My university is still using and offering only this old version.

K900 commented on 2020-10-05 17:24 (UTC)

Thanks! Will test and see (and try to get my hands on the proper checksums again).

Simply build and install the package. The unit file will be installed to the correct location.

paecific.jr commented on 2020-08-20 15:27 (UTC)

Okay, what is the correct install process then? Would you be able to provide a readme?

K900 commented on 2020-08-20 15:24 (UTC)

No, you absolutely should not do that.

paecific.jr commented on 2020-08-20 15:23 (UTC)

Sorry, I was able to determine my issue with that. I needed to copy the vpnagentd.service to /etc/systemd/system/

This may be out of your scope, but my school’s version of AnyConnect takes me to Okta, a SSO provider. After I enter my credentials AnyConnect continues to say, «Please complete the authentication process in the AnyConnect Login. «. Then it refuses a connection.

K900 commented on 2020-08-20 15:13 (UTC)

You need to be more specific than that.

paecific.jr commented on 2020-08-20 15:08 (UTC)

I’m having issues starting the vpnagentd.service. Any tips?

@K900, @DrTph It seems that libacwebhelper.so is missing from PKGBUILD plugins list. Acwebhelper started working fine for me after I added the missing plugin to PKGBUILD and rebuilt the package:

for plugin in "libvpnipsec.so" "libacwebhelper.so"; do install -Dm755 $ "$/opt/cisco/anyconnect/bin/plugins/$" done

Alternatively, you can manually copy libacwebhelper.so from anyconnect-linux64-4.8.03052/vpn to /opt/cisco/anyconnect/bin/plugins directory and set permissions to root:root 755.

bennyboybrownlee commented on 2020-06-04 18:58 (UTC)

I see to have an issue (operation timeout) when trying to install required updates for DART. I was able to get this far by copying my settings/profile XML files from my Ubuntu install as suggested by @K900. Anyone else having these issues and know a way around them?

DrTph commented on 2020-05-15 18:20 (UTC)

Thanks for the addition! I’m still having issues, but this feels like progress.

I do have webkit2gtk installed:

extra/webkit2gtk 2.28.2-2 [installed] 

But I do not see similar log messages on my system. And coredumpctl list shows nothing related to AnyConnect. And their workaround, which I’m taking as WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 vpnui is not doing anything for me.

acwebhelper is perfectly undocumented and opaque. No help messages and no source code online according to Google. With various command-line arguments I cannot get anything interesting to happen beyond a couple different-but-equally-unhelpful journal messages. So far my best attempt has been strings /opt/cisco/anyconnect/*/* | grep -C2 acwebhelper — still no luck. I guess I can try watching the process table. But even if I can invoke acwebhelper standalone, I’m skeptical I’ll get any fresh insight.

K900 commented on 2020-05-13 17:46 (UTC) (edited on 2020-05-15 09:55 (UTC) by K900)

What happens if you just launch acwebhelper separately?

Edit: sounds like you’re missing webkit2gtk. Added it as an optdepend in the latest version.

DrTph commented on 2020-05-13 17:27 (UTC) (edited on 2020-05-13 17:45 (UTC) by DrTph)

It seems my acwebhelper is not working. Any suggestions? I have all dependencies installed including glib2, gtk2, and gtk3. Are the AUR packages in parenthesis also required? Please forgive my ignorance. Same issue in both Wayland and xorg.

My corp IT provided anyconnect-linux64-4.8.03052-predeploy-k9.tar.gz, which is a small version bump from 4.8.03043. I don’t know if this is related or not, but that’s what I’m using since that’s all I have.

vpnui shows: Please complete the authentication process in the AnyConnect Login window. No other windows show. I’m not sure how I should go about diagnosing acwebhelper, assuming that’s the culprit.

acvpnui[5152]: Function: ProcessPromptData File: ../../vpn/Api/SDIMgr.cpp Line: 336 Authentication is not token based (OTP). acvpnui[5152]: Message type prompt sent to the user: Please complete the authentication process in the AnyConnect Login window. acvpnui[5152]: Function: UserPromptCB File: ../../../vpn/GUI/Linux/CvcGtkMainWindow.cpp Line: 1253 SSO prompt not handled (web helper plugin initialization had failed)

@K900 I sent my local policy to your email but I think that problem can be in downloading profile policy. When I set BypassDownloader to false in your policy I receive message that download 100% but error occured.

K900 commented on 2020-04-26 22:12 (UTC)

Can you post the .xml file that worked for you? Or maybe email it to me? I’d like to investigate what configuration changes got made.

Yatha commented on 2020-04-26 21:53 (UTC) (edited on 2020-04-26 21:54 (UTC) by Yatha)

I was able to use this package only as a template. I recently started using Manjaro instead Ubuntu-based. I have 4.7 version from my company that worked in Ubuntu.

1a. replace in PKGBUILD cisco-4.8.sh with cisco-4.7.sh

1b. replace in PKGBUILD _filehash with sha256sums cisco-4.7.sh

1c. replace in PKGBUILD manifesttool_vpn with manifesttool

But it’s still not worked. I tried to change BypassDownloader to false in /opt/cisco/anyconnect/AnyConnectLocalPolicy.xml but only error was occured.

It started to work only after

I copied /opt/cisco/anyconnect/AnyConnectLocalPolicy.xml (and /opt/cisco/anyconnect/profile/*.xml) from my Ubuntu-based system.

Conclusion: You may need Ubuntu or RedHat live cd to install this package 🙂

K900 commented on 2020-04-23 13:45 (UTC)

Updated to the latest version.
