Session limit reached, Pulse VPN and openconnect
I'm trying to configure a connection to a Pulse VPN that requires a certificate on a smart card. I followed the instructions in #36 for configuring NetworkManager using nmcli
. When I turn the connection on, I'm prompted for the PIN for my certificate, but then I get a message that the session limit has been reached and I'm asked to choose a session to kill. When I close the dialog, the VPN connection is deactivated.
If I use openconnect
from the command line, I see the same message about the session limit, but the connection remains open and I'm on the VPN.
$ openconnect -c 'pkcs11:...' --protocol=pulse ...
...
Session limit reached. Choose session to kill:
