*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***

Public security bug reported:

The Juniper protocol lacks a .vpn_close_session function; without
logout, the VPN cookie remains active and can be used to restart the
session from an unrelated computer.

This is a security hazard, especially when passing around OpenConnect
logs on the mailing list for development and troubleshooting.
