There is a workaround proposed by the bug reporter. I will paste it here for other users to use. I was, however, able to connect using the command-line vpnc client. It took a bit of research, but here's what did the trick:
Install the command-line client. sudo apt-get install vpnc Convert the PCF file to a native configuration file. pcf2vpnc NETWORK.pcf NETWORK.conf Secure the credentials from prying eyes. chmod 600 NETWORK_NAME.conf Edit the NETWORK_NAME.conf file to add your username and password. Start it with: sudo vpnc /path/to/vpn/configs/NETWORK/NETWORK.conf If it doesn't work, add the "--enable-1des" option, but make sure to tell the system administrator(s) that they need to upgrade their configuration as it's not as secure as it could be. sudo vpnc --enable-1des /path/to/vpn/configs/NETWORK/NETWORK.conf Terminate your connection as needed. sudo vpnc-disconnect >From http://colans.net/blog/installing-vpn-pcf-files-ubuntu-1304 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1207918 Title: NetworkManager can't connect to Cisco VPN To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-vpnc/+bug/1207918/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
