NetworkManager-novellvpn and
NetworkManager-novellvpn-gnome.
NovellVPN support for KDE is not available yet, but is currently being worked on.
To use this VPN technology, install
NetworkManager-openvpn and
NetworkManager-openvpn-kde4 or
NetworkManager-openvpn-gnome.
To use this VPN technology, install
