Getting network-manager-openconnect to work

Getting network-manager-openconnect to work

[Divan Santana]

Hi Guix,

I'm glad openconnect and network-manager-openconnect are now in Guix!

It would be nice to get it to work via network-manager, though I suppose
it's not essential.

Using openconnect directly works for me.

$ sudo openconnect vpn.somewhere.com

Trying to get it work via network-manager gives an error like so:

$ sudo nmcli con up vpn-fnb --ask
Error: openconnect failed: Could not find "openconnect" binary
A password is required to connect to 'vpn-fnb'.
Gateway (vpn.secrets.gateway):

Even though my services configuration has this vpn-plugins set.

(modify-services %desktop-services
                 (network-manager-service-type
                  config => (network-manager-configuration
                             (inherit config)
                             (dns "dnsmasq")
                             (vpn-plugins (list network-manager-openconnect))
                             ))

Anyone else seen this?

Cc’ing bug-guix@gnu.org

I suspect something like the attached patch would help (and expand the
closure of network-manager to always include openconnect).

To test, follow section “Building from Git” from the manual or Laura’s
video 04-packaging-part-one.webm from
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2019-07/msg00249.html>,
but after the initial clone command, do

  git apply the-attached.patch

Then after make, do

  sudo -E ./pre-inst-env guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm

(or whatever your configuration file is called).  I cannot test right
now and have never used openconnect.  It is quite possible I made a
mistake.

Florian

No, at least the comment documenting nm_utils_file_search_in_paths says:

/**
 * nm_utils_file_search_in_paths:
 * […]
 * @try_first: (allow-none): a custom path to try first before searching.
 *   It is silently ignored if it is empty or not an absolute path.

I do not know if my patch works though.

Something I don’t get: why does NM itself know about openconnect?

There’s a network-manager-openconnect plugin, so I would expect
everything openconnect to happen there.  Do you know why it’s not that
way?

Thanks,
Ludo’.

I don’t know.  The patch addresses (if it works) a function called
nm_vpn_openconnect_authenticate_helper within the code for
NetworkManager clients like nmtui, probably also nm-connection-editor,
that calls openconnect --authenticate.

Perhaps the network manager service could symlink the openconnect
binary to the plugins directory when used and NetworkManager could be
made to look there, but it would be nice to know if the current patch
works.

Florian

Sorry, my old patch did not even build.  A friend lent me her
AnyConnect credentials so I can test.  I will test now and send a

So I guess we first need someone to tell us whether the patch “works”,
as you wrote, right?  :-)

Currently I have built the attached patch, but NetworkManager
segfaults when connecting, and I try to debug why.

bug#37369: Getting network-manager-openconnect to work

[pelzflorian (Florian Pelz)]

Hello!

There might be a workaround:

NetworkManager stopped segfaulting for me after I “edited” the
openconnect VPN connection in nm-connection-editor without making any
changes to the connection.  Apparently this fixed get_secrets_done_cb
being passed what GDB calls an “<incomplete type>” as the connection
and crashing in nm_connection_get_setting_by_name.  I need to repeat
this nm-connection-editor editing after every reboot.

Does editing the VPN connection in nm-connection-editor fix the
problem for you, Divan Santana?

No patch at all is required for me.  nmtui works fine without the patch.

This issue is not present in Arch Linux using the more recent
NetworkManager 1.20.2.  I have not yet attempted to upgrade Guix’
NetworkManager to a more recent version.

Regards,
Florian

So firstly I can't edit the connection as my user, without sudo. Not
sure if I need to be in some group to do that?

I then edited something like so:

ds@swift ~ $ sudo nm-connection-editor
Password:

(nm-connection-editor:1990): Gtk-WARNING **: 16:01:57.175: Could not find the icon 'pan-down-symbolic-ltr'. The 'hicolor' theme
was not found either, perhaps you need to install it.
You can get a copy from:
        http://icon-theme.freedesktop.org/releases

(nm-connection-editor:1990): Gtk-WARNING **: 16:02:01.028: Could not load a pixbuf from /org/gtk/libgtk/theme/Adwaita/assets/check-symbolic.svg.
This may indicate that pixbuf loaders or the mime database could not be found.
GLib-GIO-Message: 16:02:08.131: Using the 'memory' GSettings backend.  Your settings will not be saved or shared with other applications.

Once I edited the connection and tried to connect it still fails for me
like this:

ds@swift ~ $ sudo nmcli con up vpn-example --ask
Error: openconnect failed: Could not find "openconnect" binary
A password is required to connect to 'vpn-example'.
Gateway (vpn.secrets.gateway): ^Cds@swift ~ $

On arch, with the same connection file, it works on CLI with above
command.

I then tried starting nm-applet and then running:

ds@swift ~ $ sudo nmcli con up vpn-example

It then brings up the GUI and shows me a certificate for remote
gateway. Asks me to select my group and enter username and password. So
it appears like it's working. It then fails to auth for some reason.

So firstly I can't edit the connection as my user, without sudo. Not
sure if I need to be in some group to do that?

I then edited something like so:

ds@swift ~ $ sudo nm-connection-editor
Password:

(nm-connection-editor:1990): Gtk-WARNING **: 16:01:57.175: Could not find the icon 'pan-down-symbolic-ltr'. The 'hicolor' theme
was not found either, perhaps you need to install it.
You can get a copy from:
        http://icon-theme.freedesktop.org/releases

(nm-connection-editor:1990): Gtk-WARNING **: 16:02:01.028: Could not load a pixbuf from /org/gtk/libgtk/theme/Adwaita/assets/check-symbolic.svg.
This may indicate that pixbuf loaders or the mime database could not be found.
GLib-GIO-Message: 16:02:08.131: Using the 'memory' GSettings backend.  Your settings will not be saved or shared with other applications.

Once I edited the connection and tried to connect it still fails for me
like this:

ds@swift ~ $ sudo nmcli con up vpn-example --ask
Error: openconnect failed: Could not find "openconnect" binary
A password is required to connect to 'vpn-example'.
Gateway (vpn.secrets.gateway): ^Cds@swift ~ $

On arch, with the same connection file, it works on CLI with above
command.

I then tried starting nm-applet and then running:

ds@swift ~ $ sudo nmcli con up vpn-example

It then brings up the GUI and shows me a certificate for remote
gateway. Asks me to select my group and enter username and password. So
it appears like it's working. It then fails to auth for some reason.

bug#37369: Getting network-manager-openconnect to work

[pelzflorian (Florian Pelz)]

For me, before editing the connection, NetworkManager crashed with a
segfault and restarted after attempting to connect with a faulty VPN
connection.  The same may be what happens to you.

However, I can add a new connection with gnome-control-center or
nm-connection-editor (without using any “connection file”; GNOME asks
me for the sudo password though) and then I fill in the gateway field.
I can then use for example nmtui to activate the connection.

I noticed I have openconnect in my config.scm’s system packages, but I
believe it is not relevant.

I use:

(network-manager-service-type config =>
  (network-manager-configuration
    (inherit config)
    (dns "dnsmasq")
    (vpn-plugins (list network-manager-openconnect))))

dnsmasq is probably not required, but I do not know.

Regards,
Florian

Regarding openconnect, no workarounds are necessary anymore for me on

Already had netdev. Seems same as yours. I'll look into it more

This is mine

Already had netdev. Seems same as yours. I'll look into it more

bug#37369: Getting network-manager-openconnect to work

[divan]

Hi again,

I'm not having any luck getting network-manager-openconnect to work for
me.

For one, using nm-connection-editor on cli or via exwm program launcher,
and creating a new connection tells me:

Insufficient privileges

Apr 12 21:32:20 swift NetworkManager[385]: <info>  [1586719940.8362] audit: op="connection-add" pid=2616 uid=1000 result="fail" reason="Insufficient privileges."

$ id
uid=1000(ds) gid=998(users) groups=998(users),972(docker),975(libvirt),978(adbusers),984(kvm),986(cdrom),989(lp),990(netdev),991(audio),992(video),993(input),999(wheel)

Full system config is pasted below[1].

My groups appear fine. Perhaps some issue with polkit?

polkit is running though.

polkitd    864     1  0 12:33 ?        00:00:00 /gnu/store/mw57n9nj3y20bfm9ijcbpm16gpsik6sg-polkit-0.116/lib/polkit-1/polkitd --no-debug

Not sure if it's the way my desktop is started with exwm.

I am able to up / down connections via "nmcli con up id" and without
sudo.

Secondly, upping a openconnect network manager connection file which is
known to work on another distro results in this:

$ nmcli con up id my-vpn-2fa --ask
Error: openconnect failed: Could not find "openconnect" binary
A password is required to connect to 'my-vpn-2fa.
Gateway (vpn.secrets.gateway):

I notice that after about a minute the GUI form pops up. I then prompts
me for my 2FA meaning it passed the 1st authentication bit. After I
approve, it then dissapears and seems to disconnect.

Creating a new connecting via sudo and the starting it results in the
same.

Any idea?

bug#37369: (no subject)

[Divan Santana via web]

Hi again,

I'm not having any luck getting network-manager-openconnect to work for
me.

For one, using nm-connection-editor on cli or via exwm program launcher,
and creating a new connection tells me:

Insufficient privileges

Apr 12 21:32:20 swift NetworkManager[385]: <info>  [1586719940.8362] audit: op="connection-add" pid=2616 uid=1000 result="fail" reason="Insufficient privileges."

$ id
uid=1000(ds) gid=998(users) groups=998(users),972(docker),975(libvirt),978(adbusers),984(kvm),986(cdrom),989(lp),990(netdev),991(audio),992(video),993(input),999(wheel)

Full system config is pasted below[1].

My groups appear fine. Perhaps some issue with polkit?

polkit is running though.

polkitd    864     1  0 12:33 ?        00:00:00 /gnu/store/mw57n9nj3y20bfm9ijcbpm16gpsik6sg-polkit-0.116/lib/polkit-1/polkitd --no-debug

Not sure if it's the way my desktop is started with exwm.

I am able to up / down connections via "nmcli con up id" and without
sudo.

Secondly, upping a openconnect network manager connection file which is
known to work on another distro results in this:

$ nmcli con up id my-vpn-2fa --ask
Error: openconnect failed: Could not find "openconnect" binary
A password is required to connect to 'my-vpn-2fa.
Gateway (vpn.secrets.gateway):

I notice that after about a minute the GUI form pops up. I then prompts
me for my 2FA meaning it passed the 1st authentication bit. After I
approve, it then dissapears and seems to disconnect.

Creating a new connecting via sudo and the starting it results in the
same.

Any idea?
