Note that Ubuntu disables TLS versions < 1.2. It is possible to re-enable them via configuration changes as in:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Security/Features#disable-legacy-tls

Nikos

Hi,

It definitely looks like an Ubuntu bug. I can reproduce this issue when
building against the OpenSSL library that ships with Ubuntu 20.04:

$ ./configure \
        --prefix=/my/path/openconnect \
        --with-vpnc-script=/my/src/vpnc-scripts/vpnc-script \
        --with-openssl
$
$ make check
[...]
make  check-TESTS
make[2] : on entre dans le répertoire « /my/path/openconnect/tests »
make[3] : on entre dans le répertoire « /my/path/openconnect/tests »
PASS: autocompletion
PASS: lzstest
PASS: seqtest
PASS: buftest
FAIL: bad_dtls_test
============================================================================
Testsuite summary for openconnect 8.20
============================================================================
# TOTAL: 5
# PASS:  4
# SKIP:  0
# XFAIL: 0
# FAIL:  1
# XPASS: 0
# ERROR: 0
============================================================================
See tests/test-suite.log
============================================================================
[...]
$



This failure disappears after building against a vanilla OpenSSL 1.1.1f:

$ ./configure \
        --prefix=/my/path/openconnect \
        --with-vpnc-script=/my/src/vpnc-scripts/vpnc-script \
        --with-openssl=/my/src/openssl-1.1.1f
$
$ make check
[...]
make  check-TESTS
