Version: all (using KDE 4.3.4) Installed from: openSUSE RPMs vpnc can be compiled with openssl for hybrid authentification. This is often needed because nearly all Cisco VPNs have been updated because of security issues. Now there is a ssl-cert for log in needed. The GUI dons't dupport this. There are some more fields needed for setting up the certificate stuff. It exists a package for Gnome and also the required patches here: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=495893 Is it possible, to include this patch into the KDE-Package?
I have this same issue and had to use the Gnome Network Manager as there is a separate package if you want NM to work with vpnc in hybrid mode. I would love to get rid of Gnome Network manager but at the moment I suspect this is the only solution for those that want to use NM with vpnc - hybrid auth.
