I have a strongswan IPSEC/IKEv2 VPN setup on a home server which works great with my android phone.
I am now trying to connect my 15.04 ubuntu laptop to the VPN but I am having problems. When I attempt to connect I get an error message saying the VPN service failed to start.
In syslog I get the following:
Code:

Aug 30 11:20:16 simon-Latitude-E6540 NetworkManager[824]: <warn> error disconnecting VPN: Could not process the request because no VPN connection was active.
I don't know why it can't access the caCert.pem file as the permissions are set to read for all.
Any ideas how to fix this?
