pulsick: automate Ivanti / Pulse Secure log-in on Linux
by kikicat

Want to avoid entering VPN password and OTP every X hours, and have continuous VPN connection ?

The Ivanti / Pulse Secure client should be started (in an vncserver instance for example) and connected before proceeding.

The following will automate server re-login requests, getting password and OTP through pass[1] and pass-otp[2]:
DISPLAY=:1.0 ./pulsick.py -v myuser "pass vpn-password" "pass otp vpn-otp"

If the server implements pre-auth notification, use -p.
