I don=E2=80=99t know.  The patch addresses (if it works) a function calle=
d
nm_vpn_openconnect_authenticate_helper within the code for
NetworkManager clients like nmtui, probably also nm-connection-editor,
that calls openconnect --authenticate.

Perhaps the network manager service could symlink the openconnect
binary to the plugins directory when used and NetworkManager could be
made to look there, but it would be nice to know if the current patch
works.
