What appears to be the issue here is that you haven't set any secrets in
the connection editor the VPN.  That means passwords, shared keys, etc.
Or that the secrets didn't pass validation.  When you open the
connection editor, are your passwords still there?  If you're not
entering any, are you asked for a password when you connect?
