@ Mathieu: Due to the remaining issues I compared the debug of the vpn connection which works fine under kde and that was created with the help of gnome's nm. although both vpn connections have the same settings under kde's network manager, the one created under gnome passes additional parameters to vpnc:
Config: Debug 3 Config: Script /usr/lib/NetworkManager/nm-vpnc-service-vpnc-helper Config: Cisco UDP Encapsulation Port 0 Config: Local Port 0 Config: IKE DH Group dh2 Config: IPSec ID **** Config: IPSec gateway ****** Config: Xauth username ***** Config: CA-File /home/123/deutsche-telekom-root-ca-2.pem Config: IKE Authmode hybrid Config: NAT Traversal Mode natt Config: Xauth password ***** Config: IPSec secret ****** As you can see it uses Cisco Hybrid Authentication. But it seems that it currently not supported to create new connetions with the plasma network widget. But existing configurations do work fine. Sadly, I thought that https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=219118 and https://projects.kde.org/projects/extragear/base/networkmanagement/repository/revisions/ad93e757a74a159e59bbb5d54c39b63b3224a7cc finally introduced this feature into the gui. :( Or is there still some hope ? ** Bug watch added: KDE Bug Tracking System #219118 http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=219118 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/849906 Title: Cannot connect to Cisco VPN through network-manager in Kubuntu 11.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-vpnc/+bug/849906/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
