Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-manager
0.7~~svn2008100
I'm trying to import cisco vpn settings (*.pcf files). Most strings work but the enc_GroupPwd= string (which is a hash of the group password) is not imported. The GroupPwd= string can be manually set, but there is no way to import or set enc_GroupPwd.
The normal behavior in companies is to distribute a cisco .pcf file to vpn clients. They won't give out the group password in clear text (yes, i tried to use the string here too on a long shot).
Being able to either support the import of the enc_GroupPwd and/or set the hash string in the gui would be beneficial to a lot of people using company VPN. Currently we are stuck with using the cisco vpn client and using NM would be much nicer.

I can confirm this bug. It means that I still have to use the Cisco client, which also seams to be broken for the latest kernel version.
