v0.5.0a1

Release Notes

v0.5.0a1

New Features

• Adding --authgroup argument from OpenConnect

  Some VPN endpoints require users to post a valid authgroup (in
  OpenConnect lingua) as part of the group-access xml node. Up until
  now it was only possilbe to override the authgroup from the
  configuration or from an AnyConnect XML profile.

v0.4.0

Release Notes

v0.4.0

Prelude

It is now possible to install openconnect-sso using a systemwide
installation of Qt by declaring dependencies to PyQt5 and
PyQtWebEngine optional.

New Features

• • --authenticate [json|shell] command line argument
    Exits after authentication and displays the authentication
    information needed to initiate a connection. When the shell
    output format is used the output is formatted the same way as
    openconnect formats its output when the same argument is used.
    When json format is used, the same information is displayed in
    json format.

    Kudos to @rschmied for the original pull request.

• • --version/-V command line argument
    Displays the version of openconnect-sso

• • --browser-display-mode [shown|hidden] command line argument
    If hidden is specified the browser login window is not
    displayed. Keep in mind thatin that case there is no way to
    manually enter credentials so make sure that you can login with
    saved settings without interacting with the webpage before
    selecting this option.

Upgrade Notes

• Use the --authenticate command line argument instead
  of--auth-only. The latter argument has been removed from this
  version of openconnect-sso.

• As it is now possible to choose between a bundled or preinstalled
  version of Qt, that means that PyQt5 is no longer a required
  dependency. To keep installing openconnect-sso with all its
  dependencies:

  $ pip install --user --upgrade "openconnect-sso[full]"
  

  To use the systemwide installation of PyQt5 and PyQtWebEngine
  install them via your distribution's package manager:

  # apt install python-pyqt5 python3-pyqt5.qtwebengine
  

  Then install openconnect-sso:

  $ pip install --user --upgrade openconnect-sso
  

Other Notes

• Dependencies updated to newer versions

• The browser window runs its separate process in order to not let
  PyQt pollute the root process and make the core able to still use
  asyncio without any hassle.

  Unfortunately spawning a separate Python instance is not so trivial
  as it won't inherit all state from the parent process. It makes the
  application harder to integrate in more exotic deployments such as
  in NixOS.

  End-users should not observe any changes in behavior.

v0.3.9

Release Notes

v0.3.9

Bug Fixes

• #8 Show error returned by VPN endpoint when authentication starts

v0.3.8

Release Notes

v0.3.8

Bug Fixes

• --server command line option only had an effect when
  openconnect-sso is started for the first time. Subsequent
  executions always loaded the server setting from the saved
  configuration.

v0.3.7

Release Notes

v0.3.7

New Features

• Support redirection when e.g. VPN endpoint is behind a load-balancer

v0.3.6

Release Notes

v0.3.6

Bug Fixes

• Browser window was not shown
• Pasword was logged in debug mode

v0.3.5

Release Notes

v0.3.5

Bug Fixes

• Add a version constraint to attrs package because version 19.2.0
  removed support for the convert constructor argument.

v0.3.4

Release Notes

v0.3.4

Prelude

It is strongly suggested to remove the [auto_fill_rules] section from
the configuration file or delete the entire file located at
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/openconnect-sso/config.toml (most probably
~/.config/openconnect-sso/config.toml). The fix of #4 involves an
update of the auto-fill rules but unfortulately they are persisted when
the application is first started. Removing them from the configuration
forces the updated set of rules to be written in the configuration.

Bug Fixes

• The embedded browser will now stop and waits for user input when the
  previously stored credentials are invalid. This still not the proper
  solution as saved credentials are not updated in that case but at
  least the infinite login loop is circumvenied.

• A potential crash upon closing the browser window is fixed. The
  issue was caused by the mismatch between Python's and Qt's memory
  management model.

v0.3.3

Release Notes

v0.3.3

Bug Fixes

• Python 3.6 compatibilty has been fixedhowever The problem was caused
  by the usage of asyncio.create_task(coro). Its usage was replaced
  with asyncio.ensure_future(core).
