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 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, 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.
