Hi ,
I have set up an Azure P2S VPN with Entra ID, and it is working fine on a Windows system. However, I am facing an issue while importing the XML file on Ubuntu. I tried configuring it manually, but I am unable to save the settings. Can you please help me fix this issue? Is it related to the system or the client tool?
Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS

Regards,

Hope, you have connected the Ubuntu machine with admin privileges which allows you to save any settings
Hope this helps.

2025-02-04T07:53:10.46+00:00 Thank you krutibasa majhi for sharing more details. From the screenshot provided, it shows that you are unable to establish the connection to azure VPN infrastructure.
Have you entered the credentials in the below step correctly?
VPN connection found failed, after the above step. Make sure that you are entering the credentials correctly
It's a good idea to check the diagnostic logs as indicated in the below article
You can also try to 'Remove' and re-create the vpn profile once smore
Also, the following command can be used to un-install the vpn client. After the un-installation, you can try re-installing again and try if it helps!
sudo apt remove microsoft-azurevpnclientHope this helps.

Stephen Westerhouse 0 Reputation points2025-02-07T17:45:13.1533333+00:00 I have the same issue. Running the client from command line reports the error. It seems the client appends the config name to the path, uses a backslash for this instead of a forward slash and this is not escaped in the clients json config file (just a guess).
