OpenConnect VPN?

[tlmiller]

So I use an OpenConnect VPN for work. Where can I set this up in Mageia 6 STA2?

I've installed the openconnect and networkmanager-openconnect packages, but in net_applet, when I go to mange VPN, I only have the choice of Cisco VPN Concentrator or OpenVPN, nothing about OpenConnect...

Thanks!

Have you used the forum search function, this was asked before already.

And networkmanager-openconnect is for networkmanager, but you're using net_applet, which are two different applets.
I'd suggest to switch to networkmanager, I've described how to switch from Mageia's default net_applet to networkmanager here: viewtopic.php?f=25&t=5782

[tlmiller]

I did use the search function

No posts were found because the word openconect is not contained in any post.

.

Outside testing forum, there are 2 threads that talk about openconnect:

1 talks about compiling openconnect for Mageia 3, which is of no relevancy
The other talks about Cisco Anyconnect, which is of no relevancy

Also, I have now switched to nm, but even with the networkmanager-openconnect installed, I don't have the option of creating a VPN connection in the applet, only importing.

Code: Select all

[root@lichking ~]# urpmi networkmanager-openconnect
Package networkmanager-openconnect-1.2.4-1.mga6.x86_64 is already installed

anyconnect ist just a client for openconnect VPNs.
One thread was about using latest openconnect and manually connecting, which is what you could at least try: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=11094

Also it seems you're using KDE, and it's not the native applet. Try installing networkmanager-applet and using the native nm-applet instead.
And it would help if you could at least show the output as root of

Code: Select all

systemctl status networkmanager.service -al -n150

to maybe see if there's a problem with networkmanager

I was using plasma-applet-nm w/ plasma-applet-nm-openconnect. I uninstalled those to try the networkmanager-applet

I installed networkmanager-applet, there doesn't appear to be a way to get networkmanager-applet to be used by plasma 5 automatically that I can find. Nothing shows up in the System Tray, nothing shows available as an addable widget, and I see nothing in the menu that might have to do with the applet. Maybe the integration for plasma5 is simply still missing? So went ahead and manually ran it, it shows up in the system tray after all, but I can't do anything with it. clicking, double clikcing, triple clicking, hexa-clicking, right clicking, middle cliking, etc. doesn't bring up any menus to actually view/change/add/remove anything. I tried running as myself and as root, no change either way.

I've temporarily reverted to plasma-applet-nm because while it doesn't allow me to do VPN connections in the gui, it at least allows me to connect via a gui.

And it would help if you could at least show the output as root of

Code: Select all

systemctl status networkmanager.service -al -n150

I was using plasma-applet-nm w/ plasma-applet-nm-openconnect. I uninstalled those to try the networkmanager-applet

No need to uninstall, they can be used in parallel.

I installed networkmanager-applet, there doesn't appear to be a way to get networkmanager-applet to be used by plasma 5 automatically that I can find. Nothing shows up in the System Tray, nothing shows available as an addable widget, and I see nothing in the menu that might have to do with the applet. Maybe the integration for plasma5 is simply still missing?

The point was to use nm-applet directly to rule out whether the VPN integration with plasma-applet-nm might be the issue. nm-applet is the native GNOME/GTK applet and hence there is no plasma5 integration. plasma-applet-nm provides that.

If the applet is not working under KDE, you can also try the CLI applet by installing networkmanager-tui and using nmtui-edit and nmtui-connect

Logging seems to be broken, it does not provide any relevant information.
