Cannot create vpnc connection with nm-connection-editor, xfce

[teet]

Hi,

I am trying to use the nm-connection-editor with xfce to setup a vpnc connection.

I am trying:

• Left Click Network-Manager → VPN-Connection → Add a vpn-connection… → select vpnc → set Gateway, Username, Groupname and Passwords → Save-Button is grayed out
• Right Click Network-Manager → Edit Connections → ± Button> same as above
• run gksu nm-connection-editor → same as above

It seems like I am missing an mandatory field but I cannot imagine which one.
Please let me know if I am doing something wrong or if you may face the same problem.

Thank you,

If it can’t save, there’s a setting invalid.
Verify that you entered all details that are required.

I had the same problem.

I changed this morning from Manjaro KDE to Cinnamon.

No Problem in KDE environment.
In Cinnamon Save Button wasn´t activ.

With Try and Error Method I found out, that if I add in “Advanced” Tab under Domän also “some.gate.way” and in Interface “tun0” and set the hook for “Peer to Peer…” the Save Button was activ.

VPN Connection is now working as expected.

In started Networkmanager via gksu and allow connection for all users. Password saved for all users.
