I am trying to let my cloud VM (debian) to connect to a VPN (which requires authentication steps via browser). Here are what I have done:
1. On the VM I Installed sshd, google-chrome, Firefox , Annyconnect
2. I set up the X forwarding for SSH, and it works (I can run VM's xterm on my local machine)
3. I used update-alternatives --config x-www-browser to set chrome as the default browser.
Then I ran /opt/cisco/anyconnect/bin/vpn -s connect vpn.serverdomain.com. No browser poped-up after a long while and the console kept on showing "notice: Checking status of browser based authentication..." messages.
Does anyone know how to set browser path for /opt/cisco/anyconnect/bin/vpn ?
Looks like the VPN client (/opt/cisco/anyconnect/bin/vpn) doesn't use the system browser default setting.
On my local Ubuntu, the VPN client always uses Firefox to open the authentication link even after I set Chrome as the default browser..
Is there a way to set browser path for the Anyconnect VPN client on Linux ?
