I encountered this bug also, with a fresh install of karmic (UNR), vpnc, and network-manager-vpnc .My company's vpn requires that I enter a passcode from an RSA SecurID token, but I did not ever get prompted for such.
I did find the following workaround: - NetworkManager \ VPN Connections \ Configure VPN - Select my VPN connection, press 'Edit' - change User Password from "Always Ask' to 'Saved' - enter an arbitrary value for the password ; then Apply - attempt a connection to the VPN, it will fail - go back into Network Manager, clear the password, and change "Saved" back to "Always Ask"; the Apply - attempt a connection to the VPN. Now it works. -- vpnc doesn't connect with empty user password. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/474698 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
