@aculich I got this working now, I just needed to install the correct plugin for Network Manager first: (that is, apt-get install network-manager-openconnect-gnome). Add that to BCE and users should be able to configure VPN with the reasonably intuitive GUI interface. I've updated my notes for this here as well: https://github.com/cboettig/berkeley-linux-config/blob/master/vpn.md

This will be nice for BCE on EC2. I have a feeling that for BCE on laptops,
people will more likely connect their host to the VPN rather than BCE. But
including the software and configuration in BCE will just make things easy.
We should document that people shouldn't connect to the VPN on both host
and guest but I don't know where/when they'd see that information.

@cboettig Great! Using network-manager makes it much simpler.

@ryanlovett The D-Lab Cloud Computing Working Group will cover BCE on Oct 15. I've added "campus-specific integrations" as one of the points to mention things like the VPN and Globus for transfer to Savio.
