Even with these packages installed, importing .ovpn files with or
without "inline certificates" fails with the following dialog message:


"The file '<myfile>.ovpn' could not be read or does not contain recognized VPN 
connection information

Error: the plugin does not support import capability."


I suggest a priority of High considering today's security and government spying 
problems. This needs to just work...

Title:
  Cannot import OpenVPN profiles

Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 12.10 / Intel / ASUS Zenbook
  Package: network-manager

  1. receive an OpenVPN profile (ovpn and crt files) by email or download.
  2. open Network Manager
  3. look in vain for an "import" button or link.

  What should have happened instead:

  3. there should be an "import OpenVPN profile" button on the "new VPN"
  dialog

  Prior to Unity, the gnome network manager had an "import VPN" button
  which allowed importing configuration files for OpenVPN and Cisco.
  The new Unity network manager has removed that button and not replaced
  it with anything.  The only workaround is to install the old Gnome
  network manager, launch it from the command line, and use it to import
  the VPN profile.
