Hi,


looking at the logfile of NetworkManager might be helpful.
You should enable debug logging level though.
See the hints at 
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/tree/contrib/fedora/rpm/NetworkManager.conf

You can also enable more logging for the plugin, by enabling the
VPN_PLUGIN logging domain too.
Note that

  level=TRACE
  domains=ALL

does not enable VPN_PLUGIN:TRACE level. It does so, because this
logging level might cause sensitive data to be logged(*), so you have
to explicitly enable it via

  level=TRACE
  domains=ALL,VPN_PLUGIN:TRACE


(*) check the logfile before posting.


best,
Thomas
