I am trying to install and configure Openconnect VPN in Network Manager.
I have installed the Openconnect and Openconnect Gnome plugins for NM,
but I cannot see Openconnect as an option when trying to add a VPN connection.
Openconnect from the CLI works fine.
Running Ubuntu Mate 16.04 on a Raspberry Pi 3. Last update/upgrade Apr 18th.
Hi, I’m using mate 16.04 in my laptop and have the same issue, as a workaround I set up a service for starting/stopping the vpn like this:
#!/bin/bash
username="foo"
password="bar"
url="https://myvpn.com"
pidfile="/tmp/openconnect-pid"
case "$1" in
start)
#bad certs
#echo "$password" | openconnect -b --pid-file=$pidfile --no-cert-check --user=$username $url
echo "$password" | openconnect -b --pid-file=$pidfile --user=$username --script /etc/vpnc/vpnc-script $url
;;
stop)
cat $pidfile | xargs kill -2
;;
*)
echo "$0 <start|stop>"
exit 1
esac
then I created a couple of desktop icons to connect/disconnect and placed them in my top panel, nevertheless I’d love if openconnect gets properly integrated with network manager, do you know if the openconnect option is available using gnome? at least it worked for me in 12.04
I reported a bug here:

It installs and runs flawlessly in my Raspbian Mate image. I also run it on Ubuntu-Gnome (Gnome 3) 15.04, although that is on an old x64 platform.
So hopefully it should be fixed soon.
