openconnect-prompt

The networkmanager plugin for openconnect is supposed to show a dialog before connecting (with a drop-down menu for different connection options).

With =net-misc/networkmanager-openconnect-1.2.4, which is currently marked stable, the prompt appears, but does not allow the user to change any options and quickly closes and connects with whatever option is set.

Downgrading to =net-misc/networkmanager-openconnect-1.2.2 fixes this problem.

It appears that the original behavior was some quirk of some older packages still being active; upon rebooting it just doesn't work now from any networkmanager GUI prompts, but works from the command line using command

  nmcli --ask c u <VPN NAME>
Comment 2 Nick 2017-03-19 01:26:38 UTC
In the systemd journal, the following error message appears when trying to connect to an openconnect VPN:

Invalid VPN service type (cannot find authentication binary)

Rebooting does not fix the bug for me. Downgrading to 1.2.2 (using a local overlay) does fix it for me.

I think this is like bug 609594 (newer but with more explanations about what is happening). If still failing, maybe you are facing bug 609732 :/
