Yeah, this is obviously sub-optimal for two reasons; (1) your private key is not encrypted and thus is vulnerable, and (2) the UI doesn't detect an unencrypted private key and handle it properly.

Re: NM-vpn no vpn secrets
Yes, the X.509 Certificates method is used. The Certificate requires a key, the Key file has no password. The results is that about once in 5 tries the connection gets established, possibly depending on the time between retries. The workaround just switches to X.509 with password, changes no other settings, and I fill in a bogus username and password as Anton suggests. Now the connection always is established in one try. --- Ferry Toth Oranjeplantage 34 2611 TK Delft Nederland Tel: +31(15)2133191 On wo, 2010-01-20 at 15:05 -0800, Dan Williams wrote: > On Wed, 2010-01-20 at 23:36 +0100, Ferry Toth wrote: > > Dan, > > > > Yes I deleted that.

Re: NM-vpn no vpn secrets
Dan, Yes I deleted that. What was before were the messages that you get when successfully establishing a VPN connection. SIGTERM[hard,] happens because I manually close the vpn at that point. I assumed those log before were not that interesting. BTW Anton Lindström found a work around the problem Anton Lindström wrote on 2009-12-04: #97 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-openvpn/+bug/453807), transcription follows: Just want to comment that I have found a workaround for network-manager-openvpn: Instead of selecting authentication type "Certificate (TLS)" (I'm translating this to English so it might not be exactly the same) I select "Password with certificate (TLS)". Then I fill in a bogus username and password.

Re: NM-vpn no vpn secrets
Hello Dan Doing as you told (killing and starting the service as sudo) i have the following results: The error message from nm-applet is that the vpn-service can not b e started. When this happens there are no messages in the terminal. When I retry this a few times then hundreds of messages appear and the vpn connection is setup normally. I think this will not be to interresting.

If you want more information about the problem, you can (as root): 1) killall -TERM nm-openvpn-service 2) OPENVPN_DEBUG=1 /usr/libexec/nm-openvpn-service (or wherever it's at on your system, Debian doesn't use libexec) and then try to connect.

Re: NM-vpn no vpn secrets
I confirm this issue. However in my sometimes NM connects to the vpn (openvpn) without problems and sometimes is doesn't. This does not depend on the openvpn server as other machines work fine,as well a previous version of nm-applet.

You'll want to encrypt your private key using openssl and provide a private key password. Your private key password is stored securely in the keyring. I've recently added some UI to nm-applet/nm-connection-editor that warn you if the private key is not encrypted, and we should probably add that same UI to nm-openvpn. In any case, nm-openvpn should not enable the Apply button unless a private key is entered, which doesn't seem to be the case. I'll fix that.

What appears to be the issue here is that you haven't set any secrets in the connection editor the VPN. That means passwords, shared keys, etc. Or that the secrets didn't pass validation. When you open the connection editor, are your passwords still there? If you're not entering any, are you asked for a password when you connect?

It allows NM to manage the network connections and routes based on the VPN's responses and user overrides. It also provides a sane graphical UI over the most common VPN configuration options. It also allows generic scripts to plug into the NM event system and perform custom actions when certain VPN connections go up or down. There's a bit of work to do to get more of the common options handled however. Even right now you could have your application only connect to your corporate IRC server or email server *only* when your VPN is active for example. That's a lot harder with the ad-hoc mechanisms that most VPN clients currently use.

Fedora F12 I can start vpn fine using service openvpn start. But using nm- applet, it doesn't work. Any ideas what I need to do here? All the debugging I can find is this: Nov 29 09:36:48 localhost NetworkManager: Starting VPN service 'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.openvpn'... Nov 29 09:36:48 localhost NetworkManager: VPN service 'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.openvpn' started (org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.openvpn), PID 14227 Nov 29 09:36:48 localhost NetworkManager: VPN service 'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.openvpn' just appeared, activating connections Nov 29 09:36:48 localhost NetworkManager: VPN plugin state changed: 3 Nov 29 09:36:48 localhost NetworkManager: VPN connection 'nbecker' (Connect) reply received.
