Hi guys,
Thank you for making a great tool. I have been using it in conjunction
with the NetworkManager plugin to connect to a Palo Alto Global Protect
VPN for the last couple of years, and it worked great. For the last few
months I have been using it with a YubiKey. Recently, it suddenly stopped
working (512 server error after successful authentication), however, and
through trying different gl-saml-gui version, I am pretty sure that the
problem is that the SAML and cookie from the server response are now only
in the comment inside the HTML page, and no longer in its header.
If I read the commit messages correctly, that seems to have been fixed 18
months ago (in commit 8c5d65889b), but there has been no new version tag
since 9.12 a few months earlier. Since Linux distros and packaging
services (e.g. openSUSE build service) go by the tags (since they signal a
stable version), there is no newer package than 9.12 available, and that
does not have the fix for the SAML-in-comment problem.
While I could probably compile the newest version from GitLab, it is
obviously easier to use a package, and I am not the only one with this
problem. I would therefore really appreciate it, if you could release
9.13 in the not-to-distant future. I'm getting by with gp-saml-gui, but
it is not as well integrated with NetworkManager and I don't have the
options that come with that, like routing only certain addresses through
the VPN, so I'm looking forward to the next version of opemconnect.
Thank you very much!
Thomas
