fortigate-vpn-login

Uses openconnect to connect to Fortinet VPNs, with extra features. This was created because sometimes we don't want to use the Forticlient program, or just want a background daemon working for us.

So why not use only openconnect? Because there's no proper SAML / OAuth2 support on it, so I decided to do a python wrapper to extract the SVPNCOOKIE from the browser workflow and use it on openconnect.

Usage

To configure this utility on an interactive mode, run:

fortigate-vpn-login --configure

To initiate the SAML workflow on a fortigate ssl vpn server:

fortigate-vpn-login -s https://vpn-server.example.com

To get help and more options:

fortigate-vpn-login -h

Setup and usage for local development

Make a virtual environment:

python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -e .

Note that this will also install the local dependencies, which might change after some time. If needed, you can run pip install -e . again to reinstall the updated dependencies anytime.
