Sure but what does NetIdMgr have to do with it?

NetIdMgr is an application that loads the KFW libraries.

This is afscreds.exe.  Another application that loads the KFW libraries.
In fact, it performs the same operations with the KFW libraries as
NetIdMgr because
both NetIdMgr and afscreds are Kerberos v5 credential management tools
that obtain a TGT,
import credentials from the MSLSA cache, and attempt to obtain AFS tokens.

Sure.  The NetIdMgr log (at the time you say the failure occurs) was
attempting to import credentials
from the MSLSA: credential cache.  afscreds.exe prior to displaying a
user/cell/password dialog
attempts to import credentials from the MSLSA credential cache.

There isn't enough evidence from what you have gathered to make any
statement about what the problem is or who is to blame.    To be
completely honest, you are having a problem with a Cisco product.  I
suggest that you start your investigation by getting help from Cisco to
determine why their VPN is losing the connection.  Only then will you be
able to begin to identify what is causing that condition.
