Description Diederik van der Boor 2009-06-30 00:46:46 UTC 
Version:            (using 4.2.90 (KDE 4.2.90 (KDE 4.3 Beta2)) "release 138", KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop / openSUSE_11.1)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.30-48-pae

I'm unable to use the network manager applet to establish an OpenVPN connection.

I'm currently authenticating with X509 certificates. When I open the configuration again the following things go wrong:
- the wrong input fields are displayed.
- when switching back and forth, the 'Key' field appears empty.

Secondly, when unchecking the "Use Cypher" / "Use TLS Auth" fields I can't select the file at all.
Comment 1 Cypher 2009-07-09 16:59:28 UTC 
I second that, I cannot connect either. Wrong fields for X.509 certificates, and fields are not saved.

This is a major issue as we need OpenVPN is our business.

Version:

K Desktop Environment
Version 4.2.96 (KDE 4.2.96 (KDE 4.3 RC2)) "release 140"
Comment 2 Gerardo Contreras 2009-08-02 18:53:13 UTC 
Same over here.
Using Kubuntu with 4.2.98.

In fact, I've never been able to connect to openvpn using the network manager in KDE.

SVN commit 1006042 by wstephens:

Read/write all OpenVPN settings I could find, not just the ones needed
for my local VPN.

Please test!  If there is a problem, please attach or mail me privately
the config file found in
~/.kde4/share/apps/networkmanagement/connections corresponding to your
openvpn connection.

Comment 4 Gerardo Contreras 2009-08-03 00:25:19 UTC 
Will this get to 4.3?
Comment 5 Jithin Emmanuel 2009-08-03 12:45:18 UTC 
Does this take care of vpnc configuration also ?
Comment 6 Will Stephenson 2009-08-03 13:15:38 UTC 
No, this bug is about openvpnc connections only.  See https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=188489 for vpnc.
