Description Andrey Bondarenko 2013-07-03 07:49:56 UTC 
VPN server in my organization uses empty Domain but requires it on authentication. VPNC plugin currently does not store or send Domain if it is empty (tested versions 0.9.6, 0.9.8.2). This makes impossible to establish vpnc connection with NetworkManager while starting vpnc from command line with empty domain works.

Please add an option to force sending empty Domain.

I can confirm this on NetworkManager-vpnc 0.9.8.6, openSUSE 13.1.

This is a pretty grave issue, since the GUI is worthless for such domainless connections due to this bug, while the CLI handles it without much problems as it allows sending "" as the domain string.

Also see Launchpad bug #1197313: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-vpnc/+bug/1197313

bugzilla.gnome.org is being shut down in favor of a GitLab instance. 
We are closing all old bug reports and feature requests in GNOME Bugzilla which have not seen updates for a long time.

If you still use NetworkManager and if you still see this bug / want this feature in a recent and supported version of NetworkManager, then please feel free to report it at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/-/issues/

Thank you for creating this report and we are sorry it could not be implemented (workforce and time is unfortunately limited).
