You have been subscribed to a public bug: After some trial and error I have found that 3.14.0-3ubuntu8 and subsequent versions of gnome-flashback has introduced an error where connections to a PPTP vpn fail with the following error:
NetworkManager[5971]: <error> [1428023479.735160] [vpn-manager/nm-vpn- connection.c:1778] get_secrets_cb(): Failed to request VPN secrets #2: (6) No agents were available for this request. Downgrading to 3.14.0-3ubuntu7 resolves the issue. I have reproduced this error by installing vivid into a virtualbox VM, and configuring a pptp vpn connection. It works if you use the default unity session, or the gnome one. Downgrading to gnome-flashback 3.14.0-3ubuntu7 resolves the issue. I'm not going to bother attaching any further information unless asked, as I have narrowed it down to the specific update which has caused the regression and reproduced it on a fresh install.
