Package: network-manager-vpnc
Version: 0.7.1-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi!

I'd like to have support in NetworkManager for vpnc compiled against OpenSSL
(thats what I have to use for the cisco-vpn of my university if I want to
check the identity of the vpn server).

For this to work, network-manager-vpnc needs to set 2 more options in the vpnc
configuration: IKE Authmode and CA-File.  The attached patch allows
NetworkManager to do just that.  Note that

a) There is currently no support from the UI so you have to set those options
   using gconf-editor (look for your vpn conncetion in
   /system/networking/connections/*, and dont get fooled by anything inside
   /system/networking/vpn-connections, that seems to be obsolete).

b) Although the interface and the routes were set up correctly with this
   patch, I could not successfully ping anything -- there seems to be
   something missing.  If anyone can figure out what it is I would be glad to
   hear about it.

Thanks,
Jö.
