SUMMARY *** NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols. See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports *** plasma-nm for openconnect vpn lacks some functionality offered by the latter. openconnect has a number of protocols that are not embedded into the plasma-nm editor. In addition, due to the particular implementation, editing the connection generated by hand or by nm-applet results in breaking the cnfiguration. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open the editor to set up a new connection 2. Observe there are missing protocols for openconnect 3. OBSERVED RESULT Missing protocols EXPECTED RESULT A full set of openconnect protocols to set up the vpn connection SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora Linux 36 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.25.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.94.0 Qt Version: 5.15.3 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION openconnect currently supports the following protocols, Set VPN protocol: --protocol=anyconnect Compatible with Cisco AnyConnect SSL VPN, as well as ocserv (default) --protocol=nc Compatible with Juniper Network Connect --protocol=gp Compatible with Palo Alto Networks (PAN) GlobalProtect SSL VPN --protocol=pulse Compatible with Pulse Connect Secure SSL VPN --protocol=f5 Compatible with F5 BIG-IP SSL VPN --protocol=fortinet Compatible with FortiGate SSL VPN --protocol=array Compatible with Array Networks SSL VPN but plasma-nm openconnect vpn can only handle the first four, which are hard-coded in the editor and in OpenconnectSettingWidget::loadConfig. However, openconnect provides the function int openconnect_get_supported_protocols(struct oc_vpn_proto **protos) which returns the number of supported protocols and stores them in *protos . NetworkManager uses this information to populate the drop-down menu in the UI so that new protocols become available as soon as they are implemented in openconnect. I believe it would not be too difficult to implement the same mechanism in plasma-nm to expand the range of choices the user has for openconnect vpn connections. At the very least, plasma-nm should be updated to include the missing protocols.
If pointed to the right repository, I can make an attempt to the implementation
It's been a long time since there was activity in this bug report, and many improvements have been made in the meantime. From the original message, the missing VPN protocols were --protocol=f5 Compatible with F5 BIG-IP SSL VPN --protocol=fortinet Compatible with FortiGate SSL VPN --protocol=array Compatible with Array Networks SSL VPN I now see those in the new connection menu under VPN connections System Settings - Wi-Fi & Internet - New Connection It looks like the desired functionality was implemented. If you still see a bug in Plasma 6.4.5, please open a new bug report. Thanks!
