@disastro This package downloads the pre-built binaries from the GitHub release because building it from the source is time-consuming.

If you like to build it from the source code, follow the instructions on GitHub.

Seems like again this package is not pulling from git? Like was discussed two years ago.

Hi @aspirogrammer

Looks like the xmlSecCryptoAppKeyLoadEx function comes from the xmlsec package.

Please try to install the xmlsec package to see if it works.

I'm getting the following issue with the package: gpclient: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libpskc.so.0: undefined symbol: xmlSecCryptoAppKeyLoadEx.

I tried searching based on the missing symbol, didn't find a lot.

GUI - costs money, stuck using CLI TLS errors on real, valid certificates

@howardtopher

The CLI supports the --ignore-tls-errors option to ignore all tls errors. Have you tried it?

Anyway, you can install the old version using globalprotect-openconnect package.

This package has been bumped up to version 2.0.0. Is it possible to go back to the previous version or create a different AUR package for the older version? It's a real shame what's happened with this package.

The new version sucks but at this point I'm stuck using it because I can't log into work without it.

@archisman Add #branch=project_branch to the end of the source url (similar to what is right now done with commit hash), see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/VCS_package_guidelines

On that note, may I propose to add pkgver() function since this is a git package, something along the lines of

pkgver() {
    cd GlobalProtect-openconnect
    git describe --long --tags | sed 's/^v//;s/-/.r/;s/-/./'
}

This will e.g. right now set the pkgver to 1.4.9.r7.gedc13ed. I see you have locked this package to a specific commit at the moment, I guess maybe there was a reason for that and this is why you do not want this right now.

The new refactor branch written in Rust is going to replace the master branch soon https://github.com/yuezk/GlobalProtect-openconnect/tree/refactor Can someone tell me how to edit the PKGBUILD to use that?

I tried logging onto my VPN today and found that the client would not open a login window. Instead it just hangs at "connecting...". I had to manually log in using openconnect --protocol=gp https://myvpn.example.com. After following the login procedure in my browser, gpclient would successfully connect when I ran it a second time.

Edit: I think this is likely an issue with the VPN's TLS certificate. I think it is related to the issue reported here: https://github.com/yuezk/GlobalProtect-openconnect/issues/226

Update: Issue resolved by itself.

indeed! Thank you!
