Hi Chad,

You haven't said whether you are enabling CSD in openconnect [1]. Have
you checked the checkbox "Allow Cisco Secure Desktop trojan"? Or
equivalently passing the --csd-user option on the command line?

My VPN does not have this "feature" so I am not positive, but you may
need to install 32-bit libs for the CSD program to run if your Debian
system is 64-bit [2].
