[KDE 4.11] Unable to connect to VPN with NetworkManager

Hi,

I'm having problems to connect to an OpenConnect and to another VPNC VPN using NeworkManager in KDE.

I got networkmanager, networkmanager-vpnc and networkmanager-openconnect installed, an I use the ("new") kdeplasma-applets-plasma-nm.

On another system, I previously had the old-style kdeplasma-applets-networkmanagement from AUR installed and everything worked fine. I then updated it to the aforementioned "new" applet and things stopped working.

Moreover, I suppose that there's a problem when saving / retrieving the login credentials from KWallet...anyone knows how to check this?

journalctl -u NetworkManager

...output is empty.

Edit: but querying systemctl for NetworkManager's status yields:

Nov 28 21:55:17 icon NetworkManager[25617]: <error> [1385672117.280508] [nm-vpn-connection.c:1374] get_secrets_cb(): Failed to request VPN secrets #3: (6) No agents were available for this request.

Nov 28 21:55:53 icon NetworkManager[25617]: <info> exiting (success)

When trying to connect to the OpenConnect VPN. I guess "openconnect" could not be found, but it's installed.

So, has anyone got an idea what could be missing?

Thanks,
Laurent

The VPNC connection works now.

DES option was missing, thus the connection failed.
Filed a bug

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=328189

Edit: Please don't forget the OpenConnect problem, I still have not solved it.
