Dear Maintainer,
To duplicate the issue, use Edit Connections function of network-manager.
Attempt to edit an imported openvpn configuration. Changes can be made to the
user name and password fields, but the Save button on the dialog never becomes
active.
Which program do you use to update the configuration,
nm-connection-editor, something else?
If you run that command from the command line, do you get any output?
Which environment do you run this program, GNOME, KDE etc?
Is the password saved per user (agent-owned) or system wide?
Sorry, I used the little gtk reporter and didn't notice it wasn't
including info about the DE.
I'm using Xfce, and editing the configuration using the dialog named
"Network Connections" that's called by right-clicking the NM icon in the
notification Area on the panel and choosing Edit Connections.
The program is nm-connection-editory. When issued from within
xfce4-terminal it results in this output:
wiz@wiz-nuc:~$ nm-connection-editor
(nm-connection-editor:7415): dbind-WARNING **: 18:13:19.754: Couldn't
register with accessibility bus: Did not receive a reply. Possible
causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message
bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the
network connection was broken.
The software gives no indication that anything is wrong other than the
fact that the "Editing <name of openvpn configuration file>" dialog that
comes up doesn't activate the "Save" button when I change the contents
of the user name or password fields.
That dialog lets you choose between saving the password for the current
user or for all users. I've been accustomed to using the all users setting.
