OpenConnect: Usage with username and password

Currently OpenConnect wants to know:

WebVPN cookie data
Hash of server certificate
server after authentication

This data is something the usual user won't be able to provide. Other OpenConnect user interfaces (e.g. the ones for NetworkManager) have a more user-friendly workflow, asking for:

user name
password
a CA certificate (as a file, not as hash)
maybe a group.

I'd like this user friendly interface to be implemented for SFOS, too, as logi-in with username and password for OpenConnect is a quite widespread use case.

Hi. It is possible to open openconnect vpn just with username/password/2-factor OTP from root shell:

/usr/sbin/openconnect --verbose --authgroup=secure vpn.domain.com

But DNS and routes are not setup. It is necessary to provide --script argument probably.

SFOS "just" need to provide correct UI and some daemon (?) integration. Is some missing part open-source? How can we help to solve this issue?

To setup DNS and routes you can use vpnc script like this:

openconnect --script /etc/vpnc/vpnc-script https://vpn.example.com/

I'd like to object: Your linked question is only requesting a how-to, so a guide on how to obtain the cookie data would probably solve it.
I want the functionality of using OpenConnect VPNs with username and password to be implemented directly, without the need to follow a guide or use some workaround.
