Juniper/Pulse Question

Hi,

I've got a question that is beyond my ability to track down, or even properly
diagnose. My institution uses a juniper/pulse VPN as well as a single sign on
service with two factor authentication. If you are on the VPN then you
shouldn't be asked for two factor authentication when using the single sign on
page. This is exactly what happens when I use the native Pulse VPN
client. However, this isn't what happens when I use the openconnect
client. Instead what happens is.

1. I sign in using openconnect.
2. I go to office365 and am redirected to my organization's sign in page.
3. I sign in with my password and am still asked for my multifactor
authentication, even though I'm connected to the VPN.

I've double checked that with openconnect the VPN works normally otherwise; I
can connect to servers that are behind the firewall. I've also compared the
routing tables (using route) using both the openconnect and pulse clients and
they are the same. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the time and effort!

Geoff.

Where (or perhaps more importantly, *when*) are you connecting to the VPN
from? If the answer is "the 21st century" perhaps you are reaching o365
over IPv6 and the VPN is only taking your Legacy IP traffic?
