Try this:
Edit the file /etc/dbus-1/system.d/nm-openvpn-service.conf and ass a policy for user="at_console" with the same contents as user="root". See the attachment for details.

Changed in network-manager-openvpn (Ubuntu):
status: New → Confirmed

I had this issue and it turned out my RSA SecureID token was slightly out of sync with the RSA server. Apparently this can happen if you don't VPN in for a while (months?).

When starting vpnc via the command line I was prompted for a password and passcode. The passcode is the next code to appear on your RSA SecureID token. This should re-sync the server with your token again.

Then try establishing a connection again, like me it might work for you. I described the issue here as well:
