[Bug 508740] [NEW] PPTP VPN "no valid VPN secrets"

[RichardH]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: network-manager-pptp

When trying to connect I immediately get a notification stating:
"The VPN connection '<name>' failed. because there were no valid VPN secrets."

I'm quite positive I've not made an error in setting it up.

My syslog spits out this:
