VPN connection from Linuxmint 13

The default Mint 13 installation doesn't include the Cisco AnyConnection compatible client. This means that you'll need to install the network-manager-openconnect plug-in in your network manager.

#sudo aptitude install network-manager-openconnect

Once its done, restart the networkmanager with:

#sudo service network-manager restart

You'll now be able to select open connect from the networkm-anagers vnp menu. If the networkmanager is not shown in the panel you can run it with

#nm-applet &

Then click the network connection icon oon your panel, and select VPN connections > configure VPN

In the network connections window select the +add button, and select Cisco AnyConnect Compatible VPN option.

Fill in your credentials and server name/ip in the edit VPN connection window, and name your connection to what ever you'd like. When you're done save it.

To use your new VPC connection, click the network icon on your panel, and select vpn connections and select your freshly baked connection.

In the connect window, click the hostname/ip address and then click the connection button. Wait .... and fill in your user/passwd when you're asked to.

You'll see a small lock on-top of your network icon once your connection is established.
