SecuRemote CLI and SecurID Authentication
While not technically supported, you can use command-line mode and a one-time password scheme and have it work. It's all in the scripting...

On one of my systems, I have Secure Client set up with a batch job that I periodically run to refresh my VPN connection. The system is accessible via the Windows 2000 Telnet server, so I rarely need to see the "screen" on this particular platform. This script breaks the VPN connection, sets my credentials to the provided password (actually a SecurID passcode), connects to the site using the established VPN profile, check to see that it actually did connect with an ipconfig just to make sure I got assigned, and finally erase the credentials. Erasing the credentials is necessary in my case because when the VPN requires re-authentication, my previously entered credentials will be used. Those credentials will be wrong since it’s a SecurID passcode (it changes every 60 seconds) and it will eventually “lock” my SecurID card for too many failed attempts!

The script is as follows:

scc disconnect scc up dwelch %1% scc connect "VPN Profile" scc status ipconfig scc ep
