Nac without gui?

Hello, I am trying to connect to my college's network through arch. The issue is that the school uses the Cisco Any Connect vpn client and Nac agent client to connect to the network. Since I just installed arch onto my laptop, I do not yet have X11 installed. While I have correctly setup online and offline netcfg profiles I have to launch the Cisco java applet in order to have access to the web.
Links obviously does not have a java plugin, and even if it did I would not be able to connect to the network because the Cisco java applet launches a gui window. I tried downloading the necessary X packages through my windows partition and installing them using pacman -U, but then I discovered dozens of extra dependencies that I would need to install for that to work. Since I do not have internet access installing every single one of those dependencies would be tedious.
I have tried to find somebody in the IT department or the Computer Society to give me assistance but I have had no luck. Despite the existence of a Linux research lab, I appear to be the only person on campus who actually uses Linux (proprietary systems are yucky).  I want to know if there is a workaround for my issue--is there a guiless NAC and vpn client that is compatible with Cisco? Are there any other possible solutions?
Thank you for your assistance .
EDIT: As An alternative is there any way I can download all of the required xorg files off the archlinux website without having to go out of the way to download every individual dependency for every package? Again, the issue is that I can not access the network through my linux partition. I can connect to it, but I can not download off of the package repository or browse the internet without a java and javascript enabled browser. The network authenticates me by prompting me with a cisco nac gui window and asks for my username and password. Is it possible to do this without a gui browser?
EDIT AGAIN: Can openvpn achieve what I want it to? I want to connect to the network vpn with my username and password.

Carlos there is a simple way to bypass authentication and just enforce posturing.
However this will not work if your entire deployment requires user authentication. If not, then this is how you would accomplish this.
You will create device filter for all mac address and select the role type as check, reference material is found here:

Then you will create a port profile and follow step 9 here:

I wanted to know more about your deployment, please keep in mind that the filter behavior does change depending on the deployment:

  • Table name for dialog response time without GUI in ST03?

    In SWNC_COLLECTOR_GET_AGGREGATES, cnt00x (x =1,2,3... 9) gives me the proportion of transaction steps with a response time between 0s and the upper  limit of the individual response time categories (includes GUI time), broken down by task type. But where is the data without GUI time store? any ideas?

    Hello Surya
    here screenshots from my test:
    ST03 for my instance before I have executed something on it, no dialog task type:
    here I have connected to the instance through SM51, still no dialog task type:
    and here I have connected directly through SAP Logon to this instance, now my actions on the instance are displayed as dialog task type:
    If your users connect through RFC to the instance, then all their actions are RFC task type actions. As soon as a user logons directly to the instance, dialog task type will appear in ST03.

  • JCOP tools without GUI

    Hello,
    i would like to know, what scripts is JCOP tools exactly running while building Java files (generating class files) and converting them to CAP files. I.e. what does "Build autoimatically" exactly do in ECLIPSE IDE with JCOP plug-in? What .jar files are also used?
    I.e. i want to be able to rebuild my Java Card projects for different version os java cards without opening the Eclipse IDE, openning projects and building them in IDE.
    I would appreciate nay information.
    Thanks a lot,
    best regards,
    newbie.

    Hello.
    Thanks a lot lexdabear for your reply.
    The post you've noticed above was very useful for me. I have solved the problem with tric.jar and also would like to add my 50 cents regarding some solutions proposed by Lillesand.
    The error listed below can be simply avoided by explicitly declaring the whole name of the applet, i.e. -a 0xF3:0xF3:0xF3:0xF3:0xF3:0xA1:0xA1:0xA1:0xA1:0xA1 no.qfree.keyexport.KeyDiversification.
    E:\tools\captest2>java -cp e:\eclipse\plugins\com.ibm.bluez.jcop.eclipse_3.1.2\tric.jar com.ibm.jc.apps.tric.jc.Converter
    -dd e:\tools\captest2\
    -cp e:\workspace\KeyExport\bin\;e:\tools\java_card_kit-2_2_2\lib\api.jar
    -ep E:\tools\java_card_kit-2_2_2\api_export_files
    -a 0xF3:0xF3:0xF3:0xF3:0xF3:0xA1:0xA1:0xA1:0xA1:0xA1 KeyDiversification 0xF3:0xF3:0xF3:0xF3:0xF3:0xA2:0xA2:0xA2:0xA2:0xA2 StringStorage
    no.qfree.keyexport 0xF3:0xF3:0xF3:0xF3:0xF3 1 0
    Error: class java.lang.RuntimeException, no such applet class LKeyDiversification; found in package no/qfree/keyexportAlso my there are some facts that i have figured out during the usage of tric.jar through command line:
    1. Eclipse IDE produces slightly different .class files than i do by using
    javac -source 1.3 -target 1.2 -g options during the compilation. May be it uses additional options?
    2. Perhaps, as a result, a bit different CAP files are produced that the ones built automatically using Eclipse IDE GUI. Those CAP files also slightly differ in size (usually smaller tha mines). The only components that differ in size are:
    Method.cap
    Debug.cap.
    The files produced through command line work just fine. I guess, that JCOP tools may additionally optimize the .class files to produce a bit smaller .CAP files.
    3. Regarding the version information JCOP tools tric.jar produces
    CAP files with version M=2, m=1 when using JC211 API, and
    CAP files with version M=2, M=2 when using JC221.
    I also converted the same files uding JCDKv2.2.1. It produces CAP files of version M=2, M=1.
    In my opinion, all the problems that occured in the aforementioned post by Lillesand were caused by wrong usage of the JC2.2.2 export files.
    I totally agree with you, lexdabear regarding choosing only one solution. In case you are using JCOP tools (through GUI or command line) you must use JCOP JC API .jar files and tric.jar converter.
    If you are using JCDK, you must use its api.jar library with export files and converter from JCDK (coverter.bat).
    I hope this info might be useful.

  • Event Handling without GUI!!!!

    Hi everybody,
    I want to design a mult-threaed application which will process Key events without displaying any GUI components! (I know it is stupid but these are the requirements). I tried to use java.awt.event.*; but it seems that it is not working without displaying anything. Is there any method to capture keyboard events without using GUI components?
    Thank you very much in advance,

    Do you mean you want your program running on the
    console? while having Events dispatched!!Yes, I am also stuck in a similar problem.
    I want to detect mouse move system wide. The problem is that, my code recognizes mouse move only on components those are added in my program.
    i.e., if I add a frame then MouseMove (or any AWTEvent)will be listened by the AWTEventListener on that frame only. And I want such a Listener which can listen to System-wide Mouse events so that I can capture mouse position throught the System at any random time.
    I hope someone will have any link to my topic and will provide me any kind of knowledge.

  • Scheduling Discoverer Reports in Bulk (without GUI) - is there a way?

    Hi all,
    I'm looking for a way to schedule a bunch of reports without using the GUI (there's zillions of reports that run well most of the time but sometimes some of them don't work, so instead of having people going mad clicking through all of them in search of one that doesn't work we'd like to schedule them all and check which one didn't run).
    I know we can schedule reports using GUI (tested) but GUI means I'll have to open and schedule each report by hand.
    While doing it manually would probably keep me busy until retirement age I fear for my sanity if I start doing it that way.
    Does anyone have a pointer on how to handle it? I'd love to do it through direct access to the meta tables, command line is good (although I see no documentation on scheduling via command line, only on scheduling a command to run report and running it via an external scheduler).
    Thank you all in advance,
    C

    Hi,
    is there a way? Not really. When Discoverer schedules a workbook it updates the EUL with details of the batched workbook, creates a package and view to run the workbook and schedules a job on DBMS_JOBs queue. There is no API to do this from outside Discoverer so you would have to write your own API.
    Another good reason for using a 3rd party scheduler.

  • [NAC without authentication]

    Dear All:
    Quick question.
    Can you implement OOB NAC but avoid using authentication. That is:
    That is when a user tries to login through a specific port, that user (whoever it may be) is checked against a static port-assigned policy and IF the user (whoever it may be) is validated as being OK, that port will always be assigned to the same VLAN. I'm just trying to see if I can do posture validation without having user credentials on an LDAP server.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Capture keystrokes without GUI

    I am trying to write a program that will listen for keystrokes without a (visible) GUI. So sort of like a hotkey. There has to be a way to do this in Java. Since I was desperate, I looked into the Component source code to see how it reads input from the keyboard but couldn't find anything.
    I've searched for a solution to this program for hours and whenever I find someone asking the same thing, it is never answered. Please help

    hi its me again... i dont know if you have solved your dilema but i think mine has finally been answered just when i was about to give up... i have found a way to listen globally to mouse movements by comparying the last postion of the mouse and the current position..... more info at http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=574086&messageID=2929889.........

  • OSX Server without gui

    Hi all,
    I am considering using a mac mini as a web server and, why not using Mac OSX Server.
    I am wondering if OSX is able to boot without launching the user interface. Doing this, all ressources will be allocated to the web server processes...
    Thank you for your answer.

    When Mac OS X Server loads, it takes you to the login window, but that's the only GUI that loads until a user logs in. Simple testing shows this uses virtually no CPU so it shouldn't impact any server processes.

  • ADF without GUI

    Does it make sense to use ADF in an application that has rich GUI? Does it make sense to use ADF without leveraging its GUI capability?

    ADF is a framework which is based on the model, view and controller. So, you can use ADF to create a data model and not necessarily put a UI on it. Our you could put a Rich UI like swing on it...

  • FrameMaker Automation without GUI displayed

    Hi All,
    I have the FrameMaker.Automation.# setup to run and process document information. I want to be able to continue doing so without framemaker popping up the gui. In other words, is there a way to set the GUI to be not visible during processing time? I have looked through the FDK docs, and I seem to be unable to find a switch for this.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Adam

    I've setup automated .exe and .msi installs for a while now but I've recently run into a program that doesn't have any switches or additional input that can run in command prompt.
    My question is if there is any software that can do add this functionaly and automate GUI installations

    In addition to Dude's comments ... it sounds like you are connecting to your vm machine via the vmware console.   Personally, I treat that console just like I treat the console on my physical servers in my data center.  That is, I don't run down to the data center whenever I need to log on to a linux server.  That's what remote console programs such as putty are for.  I have a suite of 10 linux vm's on my Win7 desktop, and one of my 4 "Prime Directives" is that I access them using exactly the same Windows desktop tools I use to access my physical servers. 

  • SQL 2012: change startup parameter without GUI

    I would like change SQL startup parameter like -l, -d,-e without using SQL Server Configuration Manager. I want to use command line...how can I do it ?

    If its SQL server 2008 R2 SP2 and higher we have DMV(dm_server_registry). As the Registry holds the startup parameters can be different for different
    instances using dm_server_registry DMV will return the correct path for startup parameters.
    select * from sys.dm_server_registry where value_name like 'SQLArg%'
    SQLArg0 identifies the master db data file.
    SQLArg1 identifies the Errorlog folder.
    SQLArg2 identifies the master db log file.

  • Dual-Head without GUI

    hi, is there a way to setup two monitors (1 DVI,1HDMI on the same ATI-radeon) before start GUI? first its annoying,but of course not that important when booting the system and the output appears on both screens and second, more important, when i'm programming (basic C++) and don't require GUI i want to use both screens.
    moreover i had problems recently with KDE(fedora 17) and Cinnamon(Mint 13) to keep my screen settings. is it best to put xrandr --.... in rc.local to configure monitors?

    A quick google search tells me this isn't possible:
    http://superuser.com/questions/152492/i … e-in-linux
    http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions … es-834757/
    For an alternative, look into tmux. You can at least display two terminals side by side on one monitor. You could also consider configuring a lightweight tiling WM to give you a similar effect.
    For xrandr, I just throw it in my .xinitrc file right above the line that starts the WM/DE.
