network-manager in kde 4.7 not loading openconnect plugin

[Todd Kennedy]

After installing network-manager-openconnect and openconnect packages the openconnect plugin isn;t showing up in KDE NetworkManager. I've restarted the machine several times but still am not able to see the openconnect selection in NetworkManager VPN tab. I am using Kubuntu 11.10 fresh install.

Here a list of my dependancies installed

KDE bug https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=226028 says openconnect should be greater that 3.03 but ubuntu repos has only 3.02. Not sure if that makes a difference with the plugin loading into network manager

Got the same problem here.
I did some digging and found that /etc/dbus-1/system.d/nm-openconnect-service.conf has this stanza:

        <policy user="nm-openconnect">
                <allow own="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.openconnect"/>
                <allow send_destination="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.openconnect"/>
        </policy>

all the other nm (Network-Manager) related conf's only have these 2 stanzas:

<busconfig>
        <policy user="root">
                <allow own="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.vpnc"/>
                <allow send_destination="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.vpnc"/>
        </policy>
        <policy context="default">
                <deny own="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.vpnc"/>
                <deny send_destination="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.vpnc"/>
        </policy>
</busconfig>

Not sure if that has something to do with the problem.

I'm currently using opensuse now and openconnect works under KDE 4.7. I checked into the Stanza's on opensuse and it seems maybe the one on Kubuntu is incomplete.

this is the contents of /etc/dbus-1/system.d/nm-openconnect-service.conf on OpenSuse 12.1

<!DOCTYPE busconfig PUBLIC
 "-//freedesktop//DTD D-BUS Bus Configuration 1.0//EN"
 "http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/dbus/1.0/busconfig.dtd">
<busconfig>
        <policy user="root">
                <allow own="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.openconnect"/>
                <allow send_destination="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.openconnect"/>
        </policy>
        <policy user="nm-openconnect">
                <allow own="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.openconnect"/>
                <allow send_destination="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.openconnect"/>
        </policy>
        <policy context="default">
                <deny own="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.openconnect"/>
                <deny send_destination="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.openconnect"/>
        </policy>
</busconfig>

Maybe try modifying your file and see if it gets you any further.

I just install kubuntu 11.10 and checked the nm-openconnect-service.conf file and it's the same as in my Suse distro. So that's not the issue. Thought we might be onto something here.

I do know that openconnect is suppose to be at version 3.03 or > for it to work in NetworkManager, but I find this hard to believe because it works in ubuntu 11.10 with the gnome network manager applet.

Here's the correct bug #923587. I'll close this one.
