cstub crashes

[O'Connor, Daniel]

Hi all,
I am trying to get open connect to run on Linux and connect to my work VPN - I already have it running on my OSX laptop and it’s much nicer than any connect, so thanks for all the effort to make it work :)

Unfortunately my employer uses the CSD functionality and I have been unable to get it running on Linux (I get a segfault after it does a bunch of work).

I recognise this isn’t an open connect problem per se, but I am hoping someone has some suggestions for what to try.

I can use the Cisco client but it is considerably more annoying to automate and so on. I ran it under strace to see if I could determine how it did the CSD stuff but it was difficult to trace - I couldn’t find any evidence of vpnagentd execve’ing a separate binary (apart from iptables) so I am at a bit of a loss.

The wrapper runs cstub like so..

cstub -log debug -url "https://HHHHH/CACHE/sdesktop/install/result.htm" -ticket “YYYYYY" -stub "0" -group "" -certhash “XXXXX:" -langsel en

(which works on OSX)

The stack trace is pretty useless - the only thing it shows is PC == NULL so either something jumped to an uninited pointer or something bad happened to the stack.

The last entry in the log file is..

Although it also crashes if it can’t find a way (direct or via proxy) to connect to the server - robust software it ain’t…

Any help greatly appreciated, thanks :)
