** Description changed: When creating a vpnc-based VPN connection using the NetworkManager with hybrid authentification, this connection does not work. When trying to activate it, I encountered an error message in my syslog stating that - the path to the CA file is not absolute or does not address. This is my + the path to the CA file is not absolute or does not exist. This is my syslog entry (sorry only German locale here, but the message should be obvious): Apr 16 10:28:28 wccnb01 NetworkManager[1075]: <warn> VPN connection 'VPN Uni Ulm' failed to connect: 'Eigenschaft »CA-File« Dateipfad »file:///home/hfalk/.kde/KIZ-CA.crt« ist nicht absolut oder existiert nicht'. When checking the configuration file in /etc/NetworkManager/system- - connections that correspond to this freshly generated VPN connection, + connections that corresponds to this freshly generated VPN connection, you can find: CA-File=file:///home/hfalk/.kde/KIZ-CA.crt Assuming that vpnc does not accept URLs as location for certificates, the syslog message is quite clear now. I manually edited this configuration file and removed 'file://' so that a simple, absolute path remains. After that, the VPN connection works smoothly. So, I guess that there is a bug in network-manager-vpnc having the affect that the Network Manager's GUI puts an invalid URL-style location into the vpnc config file.
