Title: VPN connection is not enabled without supposedly optional username Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Binary package hint: network-manager I just setup a Cisco VPN using Stanford's pcf file. I would link to it but it seems to only be available to registered users. network-manager is able to import the file just fine and produce what seems to be a well filled out VPN configuration. I'm using it through the indicator applet in the traditional gnome panel. I was baffled for a while that the new VPN connection didn't show up in the indicator applet dropdown. Once I filled in the username (under the Optional setting) it appeared. I also noticed some other strange occurrences: - Renaming the VPN interface did not show up in the dropdown until I selected the VPN connection at which point it showed the new name when asking for a password and the indicator was updated. - Removing the name didn't remove the VPN interface from the indicator and using it was still possible, and it did not ask for a username.
