[Bug 371402] [NEW] vpn fails to connect when server requires only 128 bit encryption

[Andrew Brzezinski]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: network-manager-pptp

Everything worked fine in 8.10 and before. In 9.04 it fails. The server
(U of Illinois) I connect to wants you to set 128 bit encryption and
disable the 40 bit. I worked around the problem by replacing the gconf
file, ~/.gconf/system/networking/connections/1/connection/%gconf.xml
with a similar one from another machine (This other machine worked fine
after the upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04). It seems the problem appears only
when you edit the vpn-connection using 9.04. The difference between the
two files is an extra line that seems partially redundant.

configured in 9.04 (does not work):
... <entry name="require-mppe-128" mtime="1241379158" type="string"> ...
... <entry name="require-mppe" mtime="1241379158" type="string"> ...

configured in 8.10 (works in 9.04):
... <entry name="require-mppe-128" mtime="1241379158" type="string"> ...

Regarrds.
