I'm trying to configure an openconnect VPN connection in nmcli on a Debian 12 running SwayWM. I manage to connect to the vpn using nmcli with the --ask flag but it cannot read vpn secrets provided with the configuration file below. Any idea? [connection] id=VPN uuid=d9133c7c-1c0e-47dc-8da1-9e52eced6385 type=vpn autoconnect=false timestamp=1726496682 [vpn] authgroup=Personels authtype=password autoconnect-flags=0 certsigs-flags=0 cookie-flags=2 enable_csd_trojan=no gateway=vpn.grenet.fr gateway-flags=2 gwcert-flags=2 lasthost-flags=0 password-flags=0 pem_passphrase_fsid=no prevent_invalid_cert=no protocol=anyconnect resolve-flags=2 stoken_source=disabled user-name=myusername xmlconfig-flags=0 service-type=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.openconnect [vpn-secrets] #form:main:group_list=TunnelGroup_Personnels #form:main:username=myusername password=mypassword I tried nmcli con reload, systemctl restart NetworkManager. I also tried using 'passwd-file' without success.
