You can start by just asking the user to enter the 'webvpn' cookie, but
of course that's not a very user-friendly solution. They'd have to run
'openconnect --cookieonly' in a terminal to get it :)

I've finished making the 'libopenconnect' shared library which can be
used by authentication tools; I'm not sure how easy it is for you to use
native libraries from the UI though?

Strictly speaking, you don't *need* it. Any HTTP client ought to cope,
and you just need to fill in the XML forms that the server gives you
until you're rewarded with the 'webvpn' cookie on success.

Let me know if you need any help understanding what's going on.
