Don't know if this is the right place, but I'm on Xenial and I'm struggeling to connect with Network-Manager to an IPsec VPN tunnel through the strongswan plugin.

I have installed the following versions:

network-manager 1.2.2-0ubuntu0.16.04.3
network-manager-gnome 1.2.0-0ubuntu0.16.04.4
network-manager-openvpn 1.1.93-1ubuntu1
network-manager-pptp 1.1.93-1ubuntu1
network-manager-pptp-gnome 1.1.93-1ubuntu1
network-manager-strongswan 1.3.1-1ubuntu1

as well as:
libstrongswan 5.3.5-1ubuntu3
libstrongswan-standard-plugins 5.3.5-1ubuntu3

I get prompted for the password (EAP) although I have configured it in the Network-Manager editor already. Syslog only says this:

Dec 28 17:35:10 herex NetworkManager[942]: <info> [1482942910.9457] vpn-connection[0x1e9c3d0,8d0c94c6-bbf1-4cfb-8bd6-668b930537a8,"vpn",0]: Saw the service appear; activating connection

Is there any other way to troubleshoot this? Is someone else experiencing this problem?
Again I'm on Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS

I'd appreciate any help on this!

thanks,
