XML response has no "auth" node

What does that unknown form look like?

Handling Juniper auth automatically is notoriously difficult because
Juniper VPNs allow free-form web pages as part of the authentication
process. They can use anything from simple HTML forms to JavaScript to
ActiveX controls (!!!) to do the authentication.

The easiest way to get started with a Juniper VPN+OpenConnect is
usually to do the login in the web browser, and then "steal" the DSID
cookie from the resulting Juniper web portal page, after a successful
login.

Then start openconnect using that cookie, and bypass the
authentication-form-scraping entirely:

    openconnect --cookie "DSID=deadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeef" --protocol=nc
