I can confirm. In Ubuntu 16.04, I can connect to our VPN only through the command-line client openconnect.

I' ve installed network-manager-openconnect-gnome and network-manager-openconnect, restarted but there is no OpenConnect option in NetworkManager applet -> VPN Connections -> Configure VPN -> Add. The only "VPN" option there is PPTP. Really sad, this used to work okay in earlier Ubuntu releases.
