In any case, I strongly encourage you to report bugs/RFEs to bugs.maemo.org, in the OpenConnect category!

There are two kinds of 'groups'. There's the 'UserGroup' which ends up as part of the URL (http://vpn.server.org/usergroup/), and then there's the group selection which can be presented as part of the XML form when the user tries to log in.

I would recommend that you use the guts of the NetworkManager auth-dialog tool which is part of openconnect. That will do all the authentication for you, handling all the forms, and then it will just output the resulting HTTP cookie which is what lets you make the connection. We pass that to openconnect with the --cookie-on-stdin option.

Feel free to use the openconnect-devel@lists.infradead.org mailing list for discussing this.
