Public bug reported:
While the OpenConnect CLI version available in Ubuntu 16.04.2 supports
connecting to (older but not current firmware versions of) Juniper/Pulse
VPN (SSL VPN) (using the --pulse option), the NM GUI does not allow for
configuring this type of VPN. You can choose to configure an OpenConnect
VPN, but it lacks the option to connect using the specific Juniper
Network Connect / Pulse Secure SSL VPN protocol.
Newer versions of network-manager-openconnect-gnome do, however, allow
for configuring this protocol and work with the openconnect '--protocol
pulse' option of the updated openconnect CLI.
Since Xenial is going to stay, and is the most likely target for
companies which make use of this VPN technology, please do consider to
support this protocol in Xenial by means of a SRU or backport.
The version of both openconnect and, moreover, the NM GUI, is most
likely not usable for any ompany running current VPN access servers
(with current software versions).
Thanks for your consideration.
** Affects: network-manager-openconnect (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Package changed: network-manager (Ubuntu) => network-manager-
openconnect (Ubuntu)
