F25: Gnome L2TP VPN connection problem: Invalid VPN service type (cannot find authentication binary)
I want setup a VPN via L2TP (no IPsec tunnel).
I have install l2tp component:
NetworkManager-l2tp-gnome-1.2.4-1.fc25.x86_64 NetworkManager-l2tp-1.2.4-1.fc25.x86_64 xl2tpd-1.3.8-2.fc25.x86_64 ppp-2.4.7-9.fc24.x86_64
I have setup a new NetworkManager l2tp vpn connection and fill all know options (server, user, password, ecc.).
When click on ON/off the VPN start but immediately stop.
This is log error:

I'm missing somethings?
Some suggest?
Many thanks.

I have the same packages installed on VM running only GNOME.
[egreshko@f25gnome ~]$ rpm -qa | grep l2tp NetworkManager-l2tp-1.2.4-1.fc25.x86_64 xl2tpd-1.3.8-2.fc25.x86_64 NetworkManager-l2tp-gnome-1.2.4-1.fc25.x86_64 [egreshko@f25gnome ~]$ rpm -q ppp ppp-2.4.7-9.fc24.x86_64
I have just configured a VPN connection which required entering a Gateway, Username, Password, and a Shared Key in the IPsec Settings. It connected without problems. My VPN provider is Ironsocket.
So, not sure what to suggest at the moment.

Doing some searches I couldn't find too much.
One bugzilla suggested that if the l2tp packages were installed gnome-shell may not work without a logout/login or reboot. My testing didn't show that to be the case but may still be worth the try.
Another thing, which should not happen, is the file /usr/libexec/nm-l2tp-auth-dialog had its mod changed. It should be executable. So, you should verify this as well.

It is executable, and now, after reboot, work.

Now, after reboot, NetworkManager contacted the remote Gateway, and now I must configure it correctly.
If not allow IPsec tunnel protection on the gateway, the response to NM is this
xl2tpd[7981]: control_finish: Connection closed to x.x.x.x, port 1701 (No IPSec protection for the L2TP tunnel), Local: 2092, Remote: 24480
Then, I must enable l2tp over ipsec on remote gateway and my local NM, or something like this (I do not know any pre-shared key).
Now I search on internet how I must do that
It connected without problems. My VPN provider is Ironsocket.
My Router is a ZyWALL USG100-PLUS, and for now I cannot connect to it
I do not know (for now) how to configure on this router ipsec and enable l2tp over ipsec, but I will work on it.
So, not sure what to suggest at the moment.
Thank Ed Greshko, for now that's okay, the your useful suggest has been logout or reboot after add a new l2tp connection.
Now is another kind of problem, my knowledge problem ;-)
Thanks

Oppss ... clarify. Now, after rebot, work only the password request,(/usr/libexec/nm-l2tp-auth-dialog).
The connection to gateway it does not work yet, for other reason ...
