Description deadowlsurvivor 2007-10-04 19:04:21 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
I have a blank group password for my Cisco VPN access. However, when using vpnc, it tends to not work unless the group password (IPSec secret) is: B@dP@ssw0rd?N0B1scu1t4U.

Yea, I honestly don't get that. I have vpnc set up for working on the command line, but I've been trying the nm-applet vpnc lately. One thing that happens: if I enter a blank group password, nm-applet just disappears from the task bar. It's still visible in the system monitor, but not accessible. Trying to restart it doesn't work.



Steps to reproduce:
1. Connect to Cisco VPN with blank group password using vpnc through nm-applet
2. 
3. 


Actual results:
nm-applet disappears

Expected results:
create a VPN connection.

Does this happen every time?
yes, and it's annoying.

Actually, if you leave either password blank, nm-applet will disappear.

I have a site I connect into that has group only authentication set up. So no username/userpassword. When connecting and prompted for user and group password, only filling in the group password and hitting OK will bomb out nm-applet.
