pan-globalprotect-okta

Command-line client for PaloAlto Networks' GlobalProtect VPN, integrated with OKTA. This utility will do the authentication dance with OKTA to retrieve cookie, which will be passed to OpenConnect for creating actual VPN connection. Compatible with Python 2 and 3. Tested on FreeBSD, Linux and MacOS X. Tested with OpenConnect 8.00 - 8.10.

It also supports multiple second factor authentication implementations like Google, OKTA, YubiKey, SMS, etc. TOPT authentication can work without user interaction, if initial secret is provided. Otherwise, it will ask for generated code.

To gather TOTP secret, there are two possibilities - either scan the provided QR code with normal QR code scanner and write down the secret. Or create backup from current OTP application in phone. Some applications have this feature, but some don't. For example, andOTP on Android do support this feature.

usage

This utility depends on requests and lxml Python libraries. If TOTP secret is being used, then pyotp is also required. For YubiKey, fido2 is required.

   ./gp-okta.py gp-okta.conf

known issues

If openconnect returns with ioctl or fgets (stdin): Resource temporarily unavailable error, then this openconnect version requires different openconnect_fmt than detected or manually specified. Run openconnect manually and paste line-by-line required options to figure out required openconnect_fmt. Also, please, open an issue and report it.
