Networkmanager VS OpenConnect VPN

CentOS 1 Comment

I have a VPN connection using the openconnect vpn, and it is managed by network manager. Works fine.

It has been on my system since the original CentOS 7.x release.

Now that I have CentOS 7.3, while it still works fine, I find that I can no longer add a new connection using openconnect. I also find that I am not allowed to edit the existing openconnect vpn definition.

attempting to create a new one lists only ipsec-based VPN as a choice, along with “import a saved VPN configuration”.

Attempting to edit the existing one pops up a little window that says:

Could not edit connection Could not find VPN plugin for ‘org.freedesktop.networkmanager.openconnect’.

yum says I have the following items installed:

yum list installed \*openconnect\*
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks, nvidia Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
* base: CentOS.mirror.constant.com
* elrepo: mirrors.evowise.com
* epel: mirrors.mit.edu
* extras: mirror.cc.columbia.edu
* nux-dextop: mirror.li.nux.ro
* updates: mirrors.advancedhosters.com Installed Packages NetworkManager-openconnect.x86_64 0.9.8.6-2.el7 @epel openconnect.x86_64 7.06-1.el7 @epel

this has worked for some long time, now, so what is wrong here? I don’t think I”m missing any packages, because “yum list available” doesn’t find anything else that seems to be needed, only -debuginfo and -devel.

Anyone got a clue for me?

thanks!

One thought on - Networkmanager VS OpenConnect VPN

  • I confirm this issue. Just installed Centos 7.3, installed NetworkManager-openconnect, but after I click “Add” in the NetworkManager there is no VPN option at all in available connection types. It used to work in Centos 6.
