Cisco AnyConnect Command Line VPN Connection Script

---------------------

Connect to Cisco AnyConnect VPN using the command line. Useful if placed in the Windows Startup folder.

### Usage

I. Create a new generic credential in Windows Credentials Manager

  1. Start Menu

  2. Credentials Manager

  3. Windows Credentials

  4. Generic Credentials

  5. Add a generic credential

  6. Credentials "Internet or network address": Any string, it will be used as Credentials Alias

  7. Username: VPN Username

  8. Password: VPN Password

  9. Save

  10. Don't forget to update the credentials record when you change your password. 

II. Use the script to connect to VPN using the credentials alias

```powershell

powershell vpn_connect.ps1 "VPN URL" "Credentials Alias"

```

You can also fill in the arguments in `vpn_connect.cmd` and place a shortcut to it in the Windows Startup folder.

III. To get the connection status, you can execute `vpn_status.cmd`

IV. To disconnect, you can execute `vpn_disconnect.cmd`

### Caveats

- The script outputs your **PLAIN TEXT PASSWORD** to the console once.

- The connection is persistent, but the tray icon is not shown as in the GUI version. 

- If you are disconnected for any reason, you'll still get the GUI dialog about the connection being lost.
