Using SLED10, there is a nice-looking option in the network manager, a left click on the icon in the panel, and there is a "VPN Connections" option, you can configure vpn definitions, and then launch those that have been configured. If you choose to configure, there is a nice little wizard, and there is a choice to import a cisco PCF file.
Awesome. But ... so far, I have not been able to get it to work. I constantly get the message: "could not start the vpn connection to "profile name" due to a connection error. Could not contact the VPN server" Hmm .. I know the "vpn server" is accessible, and I can connect to it using a cisco client. So, I went looking through the "Novell VPN Client for Linux" documentation. It describes a totally different VPN gui. It does not seem to have the nice little wizard, and does not reference specifically cisco compatible vpn connectivity, etc. Plus the "profile" that I had created in the network manager client, does not appear here. So ... are these two seperate VPN clients? Are they supposed to work together? The only documentation I can find about the network manager option is about a 1-paragraph description (ie not helpful). I would love for this to work, so that we do not have to install a cisco client. Anyone know the secret of the network manager vpn? Or how it relates to the "novell VPN client for Linux"?
