** Description changed:
- When a mobile broadband connection is stored system wide with a pin code
- the user is not able to activate the connection from the greeter even
- though the user has network-control permission.
+ The current .pkla file does not work properly on all system.
- [expected result]
- The user is able to active the system wide mobile broadband connection.
+ It seems that policykit handles localauthority files with action
+ wildcards somewhat nondeterministically. AFAICT the file is specified
+ according to policykit documentation, but still the file does not work
+ as expected on all of the systems. In fact on systems where the file
+ does not work switching the rules around has desired effect, but this
+ breaks the systems where the original file already works.
- [actual result]
- Upon activation an error dialog is shown: "Not authorized to control
networking."
+ To get the file to work reliably on all the systems the wild card needs
+ to be removed and all permissions for each action has to be specified
+ explicitly.
** Summary changed:
- the user is not able to activate system wide mobile broadband connection
inside the greeter
+ unity-greeter .pkla file does not work consistenly on all the systems
** Also affects: unity-greeter

Bug description:
The current .pkla file does not work properly on all system.
It seems that policykit handles localauthority files with action
wildcards somewhat nondeterministically. AFAICT the file is specified
according to policykit documentation, but still the file does not work
as expected on all of the systems. In fact on systems where the file
does not work switching the rules around has desired effect, but this
breaks the systems where the original file already works.
To get the file to work reliably on all the systems the wild card
needs to be removed and all permissions for each action has to be
specified explicitly.
