Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): vpnc-0.4.0-2.fc7.i386 How reproducible: Every time I try to use this, I get authentication unsuccessful Steps to Reproduce: 1.Create the conf file for access 2.Try to vpnc using that conf file 3.Password within conf file is not accepted. It asks for the password two more times and then fails stating that authentication was unsuccessful. Actual results: I can use the same conf file in fedora 6 and it connects fine. With the conf file in fedora 7, I get the error described above. Expected results: I need to be able to use the vpnc with fedora 7. Additional info:
How does your /etc/vpnc/default.conf look like? Of course without the actual password and IPsec secrets.
IPSec gateway <ipaddress entered here> IPSec ID <id entered here> IPSec secret <secret entered here> Domain <our domain here> # your username goes here: Xauth username <vpnUserName> Xauth password <vpnPassword> I have information entered in all of these fields that works everywhere except fedora 7.
Is it possible that you don't have a one and only one space character between 'Xauth password' and the actual password? I cannot reproduce the problem.
No, I have exactly one space between the Xauth password and my password. I have tried commenting out the password so I have to manually enter it as well and still get the same response. It asks me to enter it twice and then says 'authentication unsuccessful'. There are a couple of us that are having this issue. We have tried everything we can think of and searched for similar problems and cannot find it. There are multiple personnel with vpn accounts, but most of them use windows and a couple use fedora 6, and they can connect without issue.
So even entering the password manually doesn't help. Can you try to recompile http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/test/7.92/Fedora/source/SRPMS/vpnc-0.5.1-1.fc8.src.rpm whether it helps?
I am not overly familiar with compiling from source. Can you provide a few details for how to get started? I tried the following: rpm -ivh vpnc-0.5.1-1.fc8.src.rpm After adding kojibuilder user and group, I was able to get this process to complete, but it does not create a folder that I can locate to run the configure, make and make install commands. Any advice you can provide for getting this started would be helpful and then I will try to see if this solves the authentication problem. Thanks.
You can download the binary rpms from koji. I did a scratch build of the F8 package for Fedora 7. http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=201608
I get the same response with the updated version . I had someone else try it as well, and the same result. It acts like it connects, just does not authenticate the Xauth password - which we know is valid since the same password works with fc6.
