Update: I had "Use Certificate" checked and I guess it shouldn't be. Now I'm getting the message, "Necessary secrets for the VPN connection were not provided."
I guess I might not know the password anymore...
Everything looks like it should work. I think I have all the dependencies installed, yet when I try to connect to work, I get a series of useless error messages in syslog:

That is the log for me saving the configuration in KDE networking and then trying to connect twice.
I guess I need to find the config file and make sure it's correct.
Years ago, this worked fine when I edited my config files by hand, but the GUI and I are not getting along, I guess.
Does anyone have an idea of where to look for the actual messages I can use to figure out what's wrong?
Thanks in advance.
