Virtual Private Network
VPN are used to connect remote users to UAB campus resources that are restricted for reasons of security and/or licensing constraints. You authenticate using your BlazerID and password in order to be authorized as a UAB network user, and the software should automatically download.
A Virtual Private Network is a combination of tunneling, encryption, authentication, and access control technologies and services used to carry traffic over the Internet and the UAB campus network.
In January, UAB will switch to new, more stable VPN service, which includes the following changes: Boxhead 2.
- You will be required to use Duo two-factor authentication.
- All internet traffic will flow through UAB while using the VPN. This means that local devices, such as printers, may not work when you are connected to VPN.
- The client you use to connect to VPN (AnyConnect) will auto update upon connection.
To use the new VPN, please follow the steps below:
- In the AnyConnect client, enter 'vpn.uab.edu' in the connect window and click 'Connect'
- You should get a new window with the group 'UAB2FAVPN' and a place for Username, Password, and Second Password.
- Enter the following:
- Username: Your BlazerID
- Password: Your BlazerID password
- Second Password: Enter the word “push,” “phone” or “sms,” depending on how you typically log into Duo-protected applications.
- You should receive a prompt from Duo on your enrolled device. Accept the prompt.
- You should then get a banner welcoming you to the VPN group. Click 'OK.'

I have 2 VPN and sometimes I should switch them very often. I decided to create .bat file which could connect to desired VPN with credentials set in this file.
So I create .bat file with following code:
Where 1.txt contains credentials of VPN #1 which has trusted cerficate.
here's what 1.txt contains:
Cisco Anyconnect Vpn Server Blocked
Where 1 goes for GROUP with number 1.
The second VPN is untrusted and I have this prompt awaring me what VPN is untrusted. I used similar code for .bat file:
And following data in 2.txt: Don carlos rar.
('y' goes for accepting untrusted server)
But now it says 'Login failed' after entering password is prompted and then it appears in loop and never stops.
Cisco Anyconnect Change Vpn Server
The question is: how should I modify my 2.txt file to make script connect to VPN #2?
